judah_robinson Make them all resign.
Reminder: bigots in both major US parties. GOP and alt right far more violent about it, and in your face with it. Together with the GOP, the DNC hoped on board with privatized prisons. Both profit obscenely with racist judicial system in USA. Can you say 'the Clintons'?
So the pot can't call the kettle black? I'm guessing.
Oh Lord! Another one bites the dust.
Serious question: Should Virginia just start all over and have a new election? Two racists leaders and a possible sexual assault are not great examples of leadership. Let’s throw them all away and start again.
Hmmm..From VA? Never would have guessed
Which is worse? Painting your face black to show your admiration for a black artist for one night such as Halloween, or Appropriate a culture long term in order to receive praise & opportunities for your own personal advancement like SenWarren has done
Dems cheat blacks. Too pity that Blacks are not aware of it.
Virginia hasn't been vetting candidates!!
yurikageyama Wonder if CNN Don Lemon wearing a whiteface at a college party,would he be considered a racist?My answer is NO.I would consider it only as a party joke. But not the other way around The white prejudice against black was so deep that started Dr. King's movement.
80 years we've gone from Yellow Dog Democrats to Black Faced Democrats...
Wtf does that mean? You bloggers think you're slick with your word choice. We read in between the lines, the letter, the words and every space or gap! Lbvvs
These pics, included with the UNC-ChapelHill Fraternity's many photos of students in blackface wearing ropes around their necks, or in KKK attire, gives proof that DEMOCRATS have historically been the racist bigots all along; NOT Republicans!
Several Senators and House members have farted and laughed. I want them all to confess and resign immediately
So he came out admitted it and apologized move on!
Is this really shocking though? He’s a 50+ white man from Virginia. Better chance than not he’s at least a little bit racist 🤷🏾♂️
katiecouric There is plenty of stupid stuff done in college but in no universe I was in at UVA in the late 70’s did anyone do crap like this. What kind of upbringing did these idiots have? It appears to be the same one Trump had, respect no one!
And the fourth one in line to ascension is a Republican!! Ha. They will never let it happen but a fun fact.
It's ok to dress up as someone you admire who is of a different race. Black kids dress up as Superman or Batman or Wonder Woman all the time. But they don't spray paint their goddamn faces. Learn from those children you dumbass adults!
The party of the KKK is finally back on display.
The hits keeps on coming, I give u the gop presidency success- the Democratic Party. When u see Chuckles and nutty Nancy be sure to thank them.
This is my favorite story. The things these people have done are horrible. But I have not been so engrossed in watching a news story unfold in a long while.
Actually it would be third not second, and all three, are democrats, just saying
But... Why?
mbieseck In the future, would you please address Tyson as Dr. Vanesa Tyson?
Can we admit this shows dems hypocrisy
To our Fellow Citizens in Virginia: We know you have had a rocky past on race relations. But when your highest officials posed in blackface and thought they were funny or in vogue, it says a lot about how much work you have to do. You can’t hide from this.
And people think the Democrats are the answer to our prayers... The Democrats are so disgusting....
🤔Is there something in the water there? Or did they come from the womb like this? 😬
3ChicsPolitico WTF? Is this a strategy to pull t-rump’s base? “Look, we’re just as vile and racist as they are, but with healthcare!”
Democrats being exposed!!! 😂👍😂😂😂
what is going on down there?
Oh, Virginia!
So?
KKK culture is deep within the Democratic Party...obviously!
In 1980..what is wrong with these people?
Lmao the party of diversity can't find a politician who's not been in black face or feathers. This should finally be some proof republicans are not the enemy of the minority
The Lt. Governor is an accused “Rapists “. LOL!!!
Day after calling for the Governor’s resignation for doing same thing. Classic
Celestial32 Such karma. Democrats enforcing this PC totalitarianism.
Democrats... democrats... democrats oh boy seem the shoe are on your feet now.. 🤣🤣
So now these people are proud of admitting this? I think they’re missing the point.
Yes, these old white Southern men need to be passed over and we need to now focus on people who are more woke, younger Generations!
So the f what? Stop living in the past!That was 40 years ago! Move.On.The next thing we know women will want to go back and sue Shakespeare for using men to portray women.DAMN people! 🎶Let it go! Let it go!🎶
Are we being punked?
I heard the Lt. Governor has black face.
Lmao... Play4Blood WhoCares
Really! I say so what. Everyone has done something they might regret when they were young. Learn from it and move on!!
This just in: “I’m Spartacus”
Jfc Dems
Dems: YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES.
Because. The South. Of course.😕
Wow, i expected this foolery from Florida but Virginia?
Are there any Democrats in VA that haven't either demonstrated overt racism, or outright raped a woman? Sorry, Allegedly... Just curious.
Guess I'm disqualified. My 4th grade class did a black face minstrel show (1959). We thought we were honoring classic entertainment back then. But by the 80s I knew better. Anyone remember Ted Danson doing blackface when he lived with Whoopie? That ended that relationship! 🤗
They all wore it, that’s how cowards/racists have fun, pretending to be the ppl they hate & are afraid of.
I don’t get any of this. Why in the world were so many people going black face? I don’t remember that ever being a thing. Ever! What in the world was the point? I must’ve been traveling in very different circles.
katiecouric Well there you go. As they say, 'Everybody wants to be black until it's time to be black'
Dems....self destructing.
Americans...
Third line is No Good too,the entire VAGovMansion chain of command corrupt... : (
Good grief this never ends.
Another black mark on Virginia
AriDavidUSA Damn VA you’re just nasty...
This “I was imitating Michael Jackson” crap is El Lamo! All you needed back then to dress up like Michael was a glove and a fedora not a can of shoe polish fools!
BSkylstad THE GUY THAT SWEEPS THE LOBBY OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING IN VA. IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE NEXT GOVERNOR
What is it, a damn right of passage?
The 6 worst celebrity costume fails
You can’t script this stuff!!
1/5 I find this whole thing comical. I did not think anyone should resign, except for the Lt. Governor, who is now caught up in a rape accusation that he must address. The major crime here, however, is hypocrisy.
Can we get Whoopi to weigh in on the View?
Kimmel, Silverman, and Fallon. When do they finally go then?
Angenette5 shocking.. southern based folks wearing blackface ? and in the 80s ? WHOA.. time for a destruction of career.. Explain to me how we have trumptard as a Potus right now then ... im waiting..
texyellowdogdem WTF is with Virginia?
That’s Virginia democrat attorney general Not Democratic Democratic just means he’s elected Because the governor, attorney general, and lieutenant governor are sponsored by the TheDemocrats Good luck Virginia
Wtf, is that like a thing in Virginia or what ? You’ll are getting weird like Florida.
Can Virginia just shut up now seriously 😳
tdub909 Oh FFS, Virginia, fix your shit!
The pervasiveness of stereotypical images like those perpetrated by Governor Ralph Northam and Virginia’s Democratic attorney general, Mark Herring, made
the civil rights efforts of African Americans even more difficult. The black people represented here were irresponsible, laughable, and difficult to understand. If white people accepted these stereotypes, it became that much easier to deny blacks the full rights of citizenship.
There are SO many good, kind, empathic, intelligent people in the world that there is NO reason for any of these troglodyte asshats to be in office. Get rid of them all, and replace them with any one of millions of good souls.
Where is the pic?
Does nobody else find this all too suspicious? The Dem governor of VA is dinged with a claim of racism. Dems start calling for him to step down, which is expected from the Dems. After all, Dems want to show they as a whole don't condone racism. 🙄
Hahaha
wtf is wrong w/u ppl?! would it be easier at this point to ask who HASN'T either worn blackface or been accused of sexual assault?
Who the F are these people? I can honestly say I’ve never had the displeasure of being around them.
The strange career of Jim Crow; the very term “Jim Crow”- usually used as shorthand for rigid anti-black segregation laws in force between the end of Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement-derives from an 1832 blackface minstrel number by Thomas D. Rice.
Hmmm rather have a reality star. Then clowns ..
So did Archie Bunker the night Gloria gave birth
When you point a finger 3 point back at you. The Democratic Party is feeling this on a level never seen before. Racist trump. Rapist Kavanaugh. True colors are shining. I hope their party members recognize this.
Better look out for Liam Neeson.
Just when you think Democrats couldn’t get any dumber and then they totally redeem themselves
Do we really need Virginia anyway?
I’d laugh if I weren’t already crying. You’re worried about bad costume party decisions three decades ago.....and no one notices the governor advocating infanticide? We all need to grow up and realign our moral compasses.
Would it be OK if they had dressed in drag? !!
Va dems dumpster fire!!!!!!!
All this wouldn’t have been a problem if racist wankers would just admit their guilty pleasure.
And what's worse they think the people are stupid they think we are stupid that's what makes it so bad they think the American people are stupid these jackasses think we are stupid that's what really pisses me off
Did he just like voluntarily offer this info?
Living up to the democrat's KKK racist bent.
Conclusion ALL WHITE POLITICIANS ARE RACIST
Let’s get it over with and have all the elected Dems admit what is clearly a pattern for Virginia Democrats.
thatalexyarde But Trump
How can we trust their feelings, thoughts and care for us enough to allow them to continue to lead, make decisions that impact our lives..
Ok, for the week LiamNeesom is hunting black men. GovernorNortham and this cat are partying in blackface? You’ve got the nerve to wonder why we donttrustwhitey 🤔
Democrat or Republican, this is not a surprise! 🤷🏾♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣 which party is the party for minorities again You guys will never learn
This cannot be passed off as youthful indiscretion or as something from a by-gone era. I remember the 1980's enough to know that we knew this was racist. (Heck, it was racist in the 1880s as well). This is disqualifying.
KeithSe38448931 Okay the Democrat that did not wear black face in the last 30 years please stand up
What a mess! How can dems be so stupid? Dumb question. Lol. He needs to resign.
Oh it is the left, so... sarahsilverman
So... He should resign too. Virginia may have to go down to the Secretary of Traffic Signals before a replacement is found.
The Roanoke dog catcher is rapidly moving up the line of succession.
Those rascally Democraps!
1980? Who frigin cares
Virginia is becoming West Virginia right in front of our eyes.
lordy lordy lordy
LawsEris So let me get this right, Liberals are saying everyone who supports Trump is a racist yet they seem to be the racists. 🤔 No wonder they bring race into everything
As if baby killing isn’t enough. Welcome to the New Left!
Is there no crisis management for Dems? Are Virginia politicians just a racist good ole' boys club or does Russia have Virginia by short and curlies. Yes..
Well its Virginia........
Wow, Virginia, ya'll sure know how to pick em! 🤣🤣
What were the Issues in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. Civil Rights, Busing. Affirmative action, Interracial Marriage, Colonialism...South Africa, Killings, Divestment, ERA, Bombings in Colleges '70s esp, MLK Holiday,Artists boycotting SA Apartheid, Many States(South)=🙅♀️MLK Hol
Just put Gillespie in there, the guy they slandered with the racist commercials
Why do .TheDemocrats have a love affair with mocking and terrorizing other races? This is a real problem for the party of the KKK. Even congressional HouseDemocrats and SenateDems showed up to the SOTU dressed like the Klan sans hoods. StupidThingsDemocratsSay blackface
Injun101: It would be interesting to find out if his bank acct suddenly fattens up...for saying the right thing at the right time to mudsling the Democrats...
Damn. All these southern Democrats are racist. They dont have just skeletons in their closets, they have white hoods
Is the CorpMedia, MSM, RightWingMedia interested in Facts finding, Blackface Confessionals, Truthtellers, Sexual abuse predators to be exposed, Anti-Semitic, Religious Bigots, etc? Then All currently serving Q their Past, thoroughly, No exception. All who erred MUST ResignNow
Blazing saddles came out just the year before CalmYoTits
hollyotterbein Can we just list those who didn't!? It will be a MUCH shorter list...
If you can't beat em, join em...?
katiecouric Omg
Who cares? Back in the 80's, people were not pansies and had thick skin and could joke around and still be friends. Look at Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder! When you aren't walking on eggshells, people will get along better. Blackface
Quit judging the past by today's standards.
When does GrittyNHL step down?
paperhaus Charlottesville tiki torchers exist for a reason
Funny story, after I moved away from Va I went to a Halloween party dressed as Jimi Hendrix. Yup, I did black face and no, it wasn't racist. It was in honor of a hero of mine.
Seems to be a trend eh?
Oh Jesus Christ Just stop. Can we just mulligan the entire election and try this one again?
I love Twitter.
State scandal? Give me a break
wyscrapper The Democrates OPENNED Pandora's box when they looked at a SCOTUS high school yr book, and grilled him for writing 'fart', calling that cruel and discussing. NOW, anything is game when you look at candidates. Dems; you reap what you sow.
The original party of the KKK. Why is anyone surprised?
How far down line does Virginia have to go to find a clean legislator should the Governor resigns- If the person has to Black, will it be Douglas Wilder ? LOL
They probably all attended the same parties in Virginia .
Going to get down to the Assistant Dog Catcher Soon.
Lmao.
'Virginia sank deeper into political turmoil Wednesday when another top Democrat — Attorney General MarkHerringVA — admitted putting on blackface in the 1980s, when he was a college student.' … when it rains, it pours … jaketapper brithume MaddowBlog IngrahamAngle nytimes
DemoKKKrats.
Democrats
wyscrapper The Issue is Abortion ! Virginia ! New York ! The Democratic Party is totally behind Abortion !
lsferguson Dems love them some blackface!
Apparently you can't party in VA. without black shoe polish. What in the world....?
_NEVERFORGET_ The top three? Part of the culture in Va?
Naughty man. tcot RealJamesWoods
So what
3rd in line.. but whatever
Geez, at this rate, I’LL be next in line for the VA governorship. Checking old yearbooks now.
Uh... I’m 63... big into music... don’t remember rappers being the “thing” in 1989
Their all sick people in Virginia....kinda like South Carolina!
JFC Virginia...
TF are people DOING in Virginia?!?!!?!
Bye felicia
Now here’s the real question.... was he doing it to mock and make fun or did he do it because idolized the rapper and wanted to be him? Northam was clearly mocking with the klansmen in the picture.
I totally see Mitch McConnell in a white hood riding a horse… If we collect the skeletons from the Republican closets we would bury a nation
Liam Nelson should run for VA Gov, he'd clean this sh*t up
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You’ve got to be kidding me.
So the kettle was calling the pot black ? Oh my !
In College, Animal House Time!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So is this just a southern thing? I grew up in racist Boston of the 70s- and it was an ugly time- but never once do I recall even the worst racist donning black face. Very odd to me.
katiecouric Will there be anyone left in Virginia's General Assembly?
Wtf!
Are there any Democrats in Virginia who didn’t dress up in blackface ?
ThePeoplesCube Wait till dems find out how the Democrat party was founded.
Are they trying to do like a Spartacus moment?
I guess the DNC does indeed have better Racist than the GOP. Somehow theirs still get voted into office.
Despicable !!
So basically every white dude over 40 in VA has donned black face.
deray AlsoACarpenter
It’s just getting harder and harder to find a non-racist Democrat - of any color.
Boston was still fighting integration. Are you all too young to remember or just conveniently engaging in amnesia?
All Democrats did it. Not a news
I thought Liberals love blackface?
Jesus VA. Get your sh*t together! Holy cow. I’ve never eat met one person who did this, let alone two😵
georgew73855762 If only you Virginia Democrat’s had not decided it was OK to kill newly born infants, maybe no one would have found out about your racist pasts.
Blackface wasn't that taboo in the 80's if it was a costume of someone famous. However, other types of blackface that poked fun at black Americans were definitely socially inappropriate. Society was somewhat insensitive back then.
If Virginia Democrats are this racist just imagine what the V. Republicans are up too. What's the racist level beyond Klan rally?
It was the times and the place...and sad
deray I think this is white america's 'me too' movement. Like 'hey I did some racists shit . Cape for me too.' Then the history of america gives them a pat on the back , tv time and pay for their suffering of holding that hatred for so long
jackmjenkins JFC!
thank u, next.
Virginia, you're doing great, sweetie! Love, Florida
I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked
deray Yaw want to be Black so bad on the low
The plot thickens
When will people open their eyes to the racist Democrats and founders of the KKK? When?!?
deray SMH
They're also on board with celebrating 'Lee-Jackson Day' the Friday before MLK Day.
The Dem good old boys club
Has anybody tried unplugging Virginia and then plugging it back in again?
ThE pArTiEs SwItChEd SiDeS iN tHe SiXtIeS, tHe DeMoCrAtS aReN't RaCiStS

Another damn RACIST
KPBSnews Any white guys in Virginia who weren't assholes in college?
Ok serious question...who fucking cares? So you can’t put makeup on as a Halloween disguise now I guess no greenface because it might upset witches? Cmon people...grow the F up and quit trying to find something to be upset about.
TarheelKrystle Democrats have a real problem.
This is the DNC
Exposing himself before he’s put on blast. Getting ahead of the story. Offering an apology. Seems like all of these men are bigots. Every single one.
And to add Justin Fairfax is accused of Sexual assault what's wrong with Virginia? Fairfax metoo BelieveAllWomen
Hasn’t anyone heard of Halloween parties and being someone else for a few hours? This is getting ridiculous!!!
They were kids! Is there anyone that isn’t ashamed of something they did in their youth! Give me a break!
JudeaPride Some actions that are not acceptable today, were acceptable 20, 30, 40 years ago. You cannot punish people today for doing things they did that used to be acceptable.
Let me guess... the fourth in line is a republican.
Here is a little history about the subject. I found it interesting to see how many Hollywood legends wore blackface. Maybe not so racist back then until society changed after the sixties.
LOL. Hoisted on their own petards!
ThePeoplesCube
When I was a kid I dressed as a hobo was that disrespecting homeless people?
Democrates - Racist party since the 1900’s
BWheatnyc Actually third in line after LT Gov and I really do not give two 💩 what he did years ago. This is getting damn rediculous. Let’s see Graham, McConnell, etc yearbooks. Bet there are some white hoods there somewhere, maybe even blackface.
Imagine that good ole boys from Virginie are RACISTS SHOCKER WHODHAVETHUNKIT
crislincarnated
Good ole Democrats
Raise your hand if you've never worn blackface, and never will 🙋♂️
Forgive me, but what’s the big fucking deal This is very ridiculous, it was 40 years ago people and it’s not a big deal. I was Michael Jordan for Halloween when I was a kid and obsessed with Space Jam, I painted my skin and wore a Toon Squad jersey, kill me
How the hell is this a scandal?
Let's go for three - CLEAN SWEEP Virginia!
lol
Proves my point, 30+ yrs ago this was an acceptable norm in Va & the rest of the south. Now the norm has changed for most (there is still racism out there). Have these individuals changed since college, have they matured, accepted people of color? Judge them today, not then.
Whaatt? I’m so 😐..
Dixiecrats!
Well, he’s a Democrat, so.
Virginia is for Blackface Lovers.
Wtf is goin on?
It's like the Democratic party, at its roots, is racist or something. How bout that?
Reap what you sow folks
...given virginia’s history...landing of the first africans...it’s not far fetched...
deray Everybody just get out
Angenette5 This is ridiculous, are we that triggered as a society that we can’t look past stupid past mistakes - that being said the Dems did this to themselves after the Kavanaugh witch hunt
HAHAHAHAHAHA I AM GONNA DIE FROM LAUGHING.
deray If the Democratic governor and AG were the guys in blackface, you know the Republican Speaker of the House was the guy in the Klan hood.
You left out sexual misconduct.
deray White people are the leaders of racism
tsgerkin tell me again how they’ve switched? Since 1980 you must mean. 😂 FascismIsLeftist RacismIsLeftist
Damn, all of the people in Virginia's government are shitty people.
Surprised, I think not. After the Civil War, Racism and Equality were not resolved. Just brushed under the carpet. Over the years it's just became more hidden as the decades went by. Sadly the USA is an inherently Racist Country.
Hello Florida? Look out Virginia is coming for your crown.
Just because men or women wore blackface at Halloween parties does not automatically make them racist. Maybe insensitive/ignorant to some. Should society dig up all the stupid stuff everyone has done in their school days and fire them now because of it?
But muh party switch!
And let’s do oppo research on every elected official in Va. both parties. Let’s see who is left. We will discover this is not a party problem, but a politician problem.
But yet Trump is a racist? Wtf. It’s time for everyone in the VA government to step down. The Democrats bitched at Trump, all that Kavannah bs, etc, etc. So they need to support what they preach. StepDownRacists
No one cares
Bwahahaha! Further proof Dems are the party of real racists and the KKK.
Shouldn’t someone be looking at the colleges these politicians attended (*cough* VMI and UVA). Still acceptable behavior?
The Democrats are Purging Themselves ...
Herring said he and two friends dressed up to look like rappers they listened to, including Kurtis Blow. Herring urged Northam to resign after the discovery of a photo of someone in blackface on his 1984 medical school yearbook page.
Thanks, Virginia, for deflecting attention from new “third world ‘country’” North Carolina.
It's now clearly that politicians has hijacked the issues of racism & turned it as there way of tussling power, I'm worried about such ideology, it's just an addition to the global ethnic of conflict divides us more than before.
Democrats. Party of racists.
Throw the whole damn Virginia away 🚮
Me a month ago: Parties in 80s were probably so much fun! Me now: Parties in the 80s were super racist.
Does this surprise anyone? Ask all these white liberals where they live, who they associate with? They preach a good message but behind the scenes they want to keep their white lives to themselves.
The big difference is when Dems are exposed, they're condemned by virtually everyone on the left; when Cons are exposed, the right makes excuses.
Cover up for 4th trimester abortion statement
This is right up there with Harry Reid removing the filibuster on judicial nominees blowing up in the Democrats face. Hilarious.
So whose Virginia's fourth in command?
Wow.....what a disaster
Seems legit
deray 😩🤦🏿♂️
Let’s not forget Eddie Murphy dressed as a white man.
So have Ted Danson, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, and I'm sure many others.
Hahahahahahaha! WTF is going on in Virginia?
Well, Democrats made up the rules so...
I don't have an opinion on who should resign for what reason, but it is funny that heading down the line from governor nobody can find anybody suitable to replace him due to issues like this or potential sexual assault issues.
Not surprising! It looked like the democrat women lastnight went to a klan rally before
Who is next in line that hasn’t dressed in blackface or been accused of sexual assault?
I guess I never realized how hard it is to just not wear blackface in your life. Seems like it wouldn't be that complicated.
just nuke virginia
WTH! 😳
White liberals who cry the most racism are often the most racists.
Democrats need to chill
So annoyed that the Virginia GOP didn’t dig this up during their campaigns but proud knowing I never voted for these idiots.
Cdoghoo4 you weren’t kidding
Sigh.
He's having a real hard time remembering and sticking to a single storyline. Sounds familiar....
When Virginia goes wheels off; they go ALL the way off. Question...is there anyone in the Virginia cabinet that has. NOT appeared in blackface?
Most of us outside the south have never worn blackface or a KKK costume in our life. We wouldn't even think of doing so. They need to own the fact that this level of bigotry and insensitivity was/is the norm in much of the old south. That's the real problem.
Democrats you have a problem Racists
I mean honestly at this point we might be better off replacing Virginia with Venezuela.
I can't wait till there is a group photo of every cabinet member wearing black face and then the janitor is the only one left and has to become governor.
But but but but, Trump, Russia, racist. Liberal minds exploding right now.
Virigina really? We are close to Florida territory here!
Democrats gonna Democrat.
Who's in line for governor after the AG?
Lol.
So did jimmykimmel guess he's out as an option for VA Gov.
This shows how deeply racism had been part if the culture in VA for a long time even after the end of segregation. The last recorded lynching in America was '81 in AL.
Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring said that he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a black rapper during a party. Herring is next in line to be governor behind Gov. Ralph Northam and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
