CNN is saying that a source is saying that Northam doesn't believe it is him.

Yeah, it is ridiculous. As if you wouldn't remember if you wore either of those costumes .

And he hasn't addressed the "CoonMan" nickname in his undergrad yearbook. Two yearbooks, two instances that seem highly racist...
CNN is reporting that Northam will make another statement later today.

The point is your party talks alot about diversity but the GOP, mostly white people, has elected as many black senators as your party.
Again, thats not what you said, but you are still wrong.

Never mind the fact that the senate isnt the only congressional electoral function and there are what , 55 black members of congress

The point is your party talks alot about diversity but the GOP, mostly white people, has elected as many black senators as your party which would not be viable without 90 plus percent of the black vote.

The only Republican that I can think of that supported the Conferate flag post Roof church massacre lost his re-election and then he lost again this past year when he ran for a different office. How does that fit your narrative...

You are trying to associate GOP in SC with racism even though its mostly white voters voted for a black man Tim Scott for senator.

While simultaneously you are trying to defend or downplay this racist Democratic governor in Virginia.
You mentioned the GOP in South Carolina. Not me. This whole debate is you going off on a tangent , being wrong multiple times and going deeper down the rabbit hole instead of just admitting you were wrong, LOL

Michael Moore.

For balance.

It would prevent Abraham Lincoln from having been president. It would also have disqualified St. Paul. In fact, one could put together an enormous list of people who have undergone personal growth and have come to the realization that what they believed and how they behaved in youth were wrong, and have changed those things. Many of those people are among the most revered people of history. Are we really going to start saying that all of those people should have been disqualified from their mature roles?

Until the Kavanaugh lynch mob liberal show, I could understand your point. After that, all calls for "let bygones be bygones" are off.

If he had been a Republican, Trump would be defending him as a great guy as would most Trump supporters on here and we would be hearing but, but, but Hillary and her emails.

I think if you look you will see most of the black Democratic congressmen win districts that are majority or 45 plus percent black.

I know that is the case in SC.

He didn't. The right-wing anti-abortion cabal has totally warped all discussions on this. I'm not going to keep derailing this thread with this as we know many past Virginia administrations have allowed third term abortions, not solely Northam. You can tell these people till you're blue in the face what the facts are and they will willfully ignore them. This is where you stop bantering with them and move on.
