What he did was not racism though, he liked that certain rapper, and was going dressed as him...its not like he was doing this to mock black people or anything.
Likely also did blackface (or is a me-tooer). If you look hard enough, you find there are very few of us who don't have skeletons in our closet which would render us politically unacceptable, at least to the other side. We really need to stop this stuff.
The problem is that insisting that a person having once worn "blackface" disqualifies people from holding public office, not to mention insisting that it disqualifies a current officeholder, is ridiculous. This is the Democrat left's neo-Marxist "Political correctness" lynch mob style orthodoxy enforcement agenda going off of the rails, yet again.
Talk about evil. This Democrat left driven agenda and its methods are consistently far worse than whatever they are hunting down to ruin and destroy.
It is a mistake to concede the premises that this agenda promotes, even if it provides an opportunity to hoist these people by their own petards, as many are cheering for here and with the Lieutenant Governor's pending sexual assault charge.
We must realize that the enemy here is this vile agenda, and not the individuals who might be hurt by it. We need to step back and not allow ourselves to fail to see the forest because we are busy dealing with the trees.
The effort to disqualify this governor and having him removed for office for having worn blackface is a big mistake. Likewise for anyone else that is determined to have behaved similarly.
Try to maintain some perspective here, people. The enemy here is not these people. It is the Democrat left's extremely vile, uncivil and thoroughly intolerant "Political correctness" agenda.
you have accurately identified the key problem.

Easy there. It is likely he too did something that is offensive to someone. Seek and ye shall find. It is the height of hypocrisy that the same people who have been howling over "political correctness" for years are so offended by the lack of the same among politicians years ago when they were kids in college.
