        I’ve said this for at LEAST two decades now: Virginia is THE most racist “northern state” south of the Mason–Dixon line. Been borne out by verified anecdotal stories about the police, and now their state’s leader, Gov. Al Jolson. 🤨😡😤

        I’ve been a MD resident since ‘08. When I or any of my other friends get arrested for DWB, or when our Gov. Hogan gets popped for being a Klansman in HIS high school yearbook 🙄, I’ll agree with you. Until then, NAH. 🤨

        With this new regime they all have become comfortable with exposing their racism, but they must remember these aren’t the old days and we aren’t going except it in no form of fashion! 🤨

        Yes we will. That's why Stacey Abrams didn't get 100% of the Black vote. Y Andrew Gillum loss. We will accept it and some will enjoy it. Paris Dennard, Melik on Roland's show, Stacey Dash, the Innis family.

        Just stopping by to remind everyone that us “Bernie Bros” (who often get accused of being white males who hate women and people of color) told y’all to vote for Tom Perriello in the primaries ✌🏼

        Periello was my choice during the primaries. In the end, it was an anyone-but-Corey Stewart vote for a lot of us. I am shocked to see this. I doesn't track with what I've seen from him. I do love Justin Fairfax. I had hoped he would be our next gov, but not this way...

        Yup, I supported Perriello in the primaries as well, but will always vote for the Dem nominee (especially when their opponent is a proud racist). This doesn’t line up with the Northam I know either-who’s done a lot of good in both his medical & political career. This is shocking.

        My office worked w/ him at the Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinics, while he was Lt. Gov. He was one of the physician volunteers. We weren't working on the same days, but I heard he was wonderful with the kids & parents. Many of the patients hadn't had regular med care in yrs.

        Exactly, this comes out now. But if you think about it, if it came out before elections he would of gotten the votes from all the racist either way.

        Ralph Northam's racism goes beyond these HORRIFIC images. He's also been pushing the DANGEROUS Atlantic Coast Pipeline-which has MASSIVE compressor station being dumped on historically black community Union Hill-where freedmen are buried #WeAreAllUnionHill https://bit.ly/2S57O7C  pic.twitter.com/WljGxrsYg4

        Good question. Anyway, if Northam resigns, we'll have the very competent Justin Fairfax as governor.

        I'd like to remind folks that shit wasn't digitized until the mid nineties. This is in a book the kind with paper pages. So much of our leadership has sketchy backgrounds that without digging won't ever come to light.
