Disgusting. And I'm expected to vote for Biden, who fought to uphold separate but equal policies? Yea, ok.
I know nothing about the Herring blackface incident but if you're
referring to Northam, I think your characterization is a little harsh.
Not that wearing blackface isn't racist and shouldn't be condemned.
It is and it should. But compare how he responded to the
revelation of this (his) behavior/event from several decades ago
to that of say DJT. Also compare his policies on racial matters to those
of GOPers. There is no comparison. One regularly makes coded or even open
appeals to the sorts of people who for example think that having a black friend proves
that they're not racist. The other was embarrassed, remorseful and apologetic.
(Speaking as a white person who maybe should just keep his
mouth shut on matters in this realm).
