Then you should probably do a little more research. The right wing lie is he was. Not reality.I thought he was a grand wizard or something like that?

President Barack Obama said, "His profound passion for that body and its role and responsibilities was as evident behind closed doors as it was in the stemwinders he peppered with history. He held the deepest respect of members of both parties, and he was generous with his time and advice, something I appreciated greatly as a young senator."
Can you name one thing in this world that you don’t like which isn’t a liberal’s fault?
One thing. Take your time.
Probably not. The legislature is majority GOP. They'd end up with a black governor & it's great fun watching the Dems chewing on their own neck.
It's not a distraction at all, and it's not bullshit. The point that a few here have made is that Byrd was a ranking member of the KKK, that's not fake news, and there is no way to whitewash that into anything but racism at it's worst. He was forgiven. Now, many years later, people are calling for the removal of a congressmen because he once wore black face.He was briefly elected the leader of the local group he helped found in 1944, iirc.
Anybody who wants to talk about Robert Byrd really needs to know more than that, stuff like this-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd#Ku_Klux_Klan
It's all distractional bullshit from the usual suspects- "You're the Real Racists!" & so forth.
Because doing something like an armed robbery or 3 is entirely forgiveable, but realizing you were stupid in joining a racist group is just reprehensible. No forgiveness 4u!It's not a distraction at all, and it's not bullshit.

It's fine thing that Byrd turned his life around, why doesn't the other guy get the same chance?
The odd thing about this is I don't really give a shit if he stays or goes, he's just another congresscritter and the next one might or might not be any better. I simply don't like the idea of anyone being ruined over a foolish stunt 35 years ago.
Wrong approach, for what exactly?
Nothing he says or does will change this outcome. So... someone has convinced him to make a final stand on deniability. To save as much face as humanly possible. Probably so those that can live with him in that bubble will still speak to him. However small and minuscule that crowd will be.
Am I the only one who doesn't think we should judge a 60 year old's character by things he did as a brash 20-something? Does anyone believe in character development, personal improvement, and repentance?
Same.I've never heard of a Ghetto Party. Are they popular up north? I'm from Georgia originally and I've never heard of it.Do we know this was a Halloween party? Its not like there haven't been so called "Ghetto Parties" where participants can make fun of black people
Nah, Kavanaugh agrees too.
Did it occur to you it isn't the medias fault bur Republicans do shitty opposition research? Back to your troll hole

Hey stupid, the media didn't do random searches into Kavanaugh's past. Stuff was dug up because he was a SC nominee. Nothing different then anyone else. BTW - How did Neil Gorsuch manage to avoid the "fake media" stories when he went to the same school as Kavanaugh?There it is. Admitting that the vast majority of media are lefties. Thanks. They dug through every single thing they could find, or make up over Kav, didnt even do basic research for this guy.
Since you race bait and ignore actual racism all the time when it goes against your lefties, I see you (and others here) once again ignored (and didnt post) about what Maher said just the other day. But I guess making fried chicken jokes about black people is a-ok huh? Only if the guy making it is on the left, and the guy the joke was against is on the right and black. This is current racism, not from black and white picture days. But just like when Hillary said that all black people look alike, you ignore actual racism.
Dont even pretend that if it were a rightie that you would have ignored it. And neither would the media. Which is why you are the biggest race baiter on these forums. And ignore racism when its against someone on the right. You and others dont give a shit about racism, or bigotry. If you did, you would call it out far more often no matter what in one of you many, many, many topics. Racism in any form, against any race, is wrong. But not according to you and some others here. Certain types of people get passes all the time for it. While others dont. Proves your bias and lack of true caring. I dont even know why I bring up facts to you, you'll ignore and name call, and continue on your way of faking. /d

Did you catch the part where a reporter asked him can he still moonwalk? Northam acted like he was considering demonstrating he can until his wife stepped in. He's an idiotWhat's amazing is that it hadn't been leaked before. Any of his old classmates must have kept on old yearbook laying around somewhere, and I'm sure some of them remembered the photo - that image is kinda hard to un-see and forget. Northam's career in politics has pretty much coincided with the social media age, so it's remarkable that he made it this far without being exposed already. I guess it's only in the past few months that his profile has been big enough for his opponents to care.
His insistence he's not in the photos is bizarre. Watching the press conference. Hearing this guy talk about impersonating Michael Jackson at a talent show is cringe-inducing beyond belief. His vocal delivery and body language also remind me of George W. Bush. He should resign. He shouldn't have is medical license revoked or his life ruined. He should just resign this position
Will bet that Northam inevitably resigns - and announces he is now a proud member of the Republican Party, because that is the party of integrity, not like those nasty Democrats.
And the GOP will embrace him enthusiastically.
Wow. He was totally Frankened, but I don't see how he could get away with this. There's still a certain kind of Democrat you can find in the South...the kind who had all the trappings of a white privileged Southern upbringing before changing their tune on racial inequality.
I am curious to know who is gunning for him...I.e. why is this coming out now? If this was GOP leaking this shit, I'm inclined to think they'd only do that during an election cycle. Wouldn't put it past a Democrat to purge one of their own in the off season though.
Reportedly he is referred in the yearbook with the nickname "Coonman".
Who even edited this yearbook and thought this was ok?
Umm, what? 1984. A year after Lando blew up the second Death Star in ROTJ.
Northam graduated from Onancock High School, where his class was predominately African American.[10]

The reporter who exposed Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s racist yearbook photo said a “concerned citizen” led him to the story that has prompted widespread outrage and calls for the Democrat’s resignation.
Patrick Howley, editor in chief of the website Big League Politics, first reported Friday the existence of a photo on Northam’s page of his medical-school yearbook depicting a figure in blackface standing next to another person in a Ku Klux Klan hood.
“It’s very easy to explain,” Howley, 29, said in an interview on Saturday. “A concerned citizen, not a political opponent, came to us and pointed this out. I was very offended [by the photo] because I don’t like racism.”
The tip came after Northam’s comments on Wednesday about late-term abortions, he said. Howley declined to give any further information about his source, citing a confidentiality agreement. But he said it took him just a few hours to confirm that the photo was authentic.
“I think Josh Campbell of CNN, who’s a former special assistant to James Comey, and I think he should be questioned under oath by the Senate Judiciary Committee to find out how it is possible, because we now know that CNN’s truck arrived roughly 30 minutes before the FBI strike force,” Stone said. “I’m hopeful that Senator Graham will get to the bottom of that, because since they were executing a search warrant, the leak of that search warrant in advance violates the law.”
