    What we are learning from Ralph Northam is that he has gone so long without ever being held responsible for his bigotry that he truly has no intention on leaving with any grace or dignity.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1091726509742673922 …

    BREAKING: A Virginia Democrat who has spoken with Gov. Ralph Northam tells The Associated Press that the governor now does not believe he was in a racist picture in his 1984 medical yearbook and has no immediate plans to resign. http://apne.ws/MdKEnof

        The real question is how many times did he dress up? I could never be confused and admit this .... because I know it never happened.

        And if it’s not him, why did he allow it on his yearbook page?

        Schools don't usually regulate yearbooks. They leave that up to the students

        There are many, many examples of schools blocking student yearbook entries, although those are mostly at middle and high schools. I couldn't find an example at a med school where adults may be given more leeway.

        What he did was wrong. Had he resigned yesterday or even this morning he could have walked away with SOME maintenance if a reputation. No more...you can apologize for doing something then claim you didn't do it. You either lied yesterday or you are lying today. Resign

        I just don’t understand this, how does a stranger in black face or a KKK robe somehow appear on someone’s yearbook page? In what universe is this possible?

        This is completely unacceptable. Yesterday he admitted being in the photo, which is clearly racist - and today he says it wasn't racist???!!

        He just said he wasn't in it - he "doesn't think it was him in the photo?!" I would rather he just admit it was him and apologize, instead of this sloppy denial.

        Even if he wasn't the one in the photo obviously he knew it was on his ultra privileged yearbook page. And his off-the-cuff answer last night shows he doesn't take racism seriously. He must have tons of advisors and even time to make PR video but he didn't take time to remember?

        If that speech that he gave was bull$hit and he does not have a record of bringing people together then the bastard is still a racist and get rid of him now. People can change but must show a long record of there actions.

        This is his opportunity to show good ethics - by stepping down. Instead, he's showing that he has no grace or dignity.
