Gov. Ralph Northam admits he was in 1984 yearbook photo showing figures in blackface, KKK hood
2019-02-03
[WASHINGTONPOST] A photograph on Gov. Ralph Coonman Northam
Governor of Virginia, another Dem Great White Hope. He won election by calling his Publican opponent Ed Gillespie a racist, but then, don't they all?...
 (D)’s medical school yearbook page shows a man wearing blackface next to another person in Ku Klux Klan robe.

The image is in a 1984 yearbook from Eastern Virginia Medical School on a page with other photos of Northam and personal information about the future governor.

Northam, a pediatric neurologist, graduated from the Norfolk medical school in 1984 after earlier graduating from Virginia Military Institute.

The page is labeled Ralph Shearer Northam, along with pictures of him in a jacket and tie, casual clothes and alongside his restored Corvette.

It shows two people, one in plaid pants, bow tie and black faced, and the other in full Klan robes. Both men appear to be holding beer cans.

The person in black face is smiling. Beneath the photo is a writeup about Northam listing his alma mater, noting that his interest is pediatrics and giving a quote: "There are more old drunks than old doctors in this world so I think I’ll have another beer."

#12  And more: Racist photo tip came from ex-classmate angry with Northam's abortion remarks

"A far-right conservative website was reportedly tipped off about the racist photo on Gov. Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page by one of his former classmates.

A source from Big League Politics told the Washington Post the individual reached out because of "anger" over Northam's recent comments about a bill that would loosen restrictions on abortions.

“The revelations about Ralph Northam’s racist past were absolutely driven by his medical school classmate’s anger over his recent very public support for infanticide,” the unnamed source said."

#7  I would cut him more slack if he wasn't such a sleazy underhanded racist-card-playing asshole democrat. Own petard and all that. He basically said Ed Gillespie was a racist.

#6  To me anyway, that picture is not sufficient evidence that the man hates anybody and is not sufficient cause to demand his resignation. But then, he is a Democrat so they can do whatever they want with one of their own and I have no sympathy. Enjoy your political correctness, Dr. Coat Hanger.

#5  The news reports say the revealing photo was offered by a concerned citizen. Immediately after the enormous focus on unfettered abortion was created by the governors comments on post birth abortion. The massive moral outrage tsunami that was building had to be stopped at all costs and the idiot governor had to be removed post haste. Am I the only one who sees the hand of the left in this, and why the outrage has lasted in the media so long?

#4  If Northam were to resign, he would be succeeded by Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. Fairfax, a descendant of slaves

All the qualifications the Slimes needs. But this is old news, right? The Gov later denied he was in the photo. Or is that also old news?
