SAY BYE BYE..
He needs to resign. Period.
Nevermind it wasn't me.
. What does DEMOC-RAT want to accomplish with this 'news'? 'JUSTIFYING' this disgusting DEMOC-RAT GOVERNOR's behavior! Remember how viciously Justice Kavanaugh was attacked for absurd accusations of a drug-addict woman, trainer of how-to-lie-to-FBI-test . HYPOCRITES
How rich that he now uses the Trump playbook to backpedal and deny it? How dumb can a person get, regardless of party? He needs to resign immediately. He had the opportunity last night on O'Donnel with Ali Velshi hosting, but declined in a cowardly fashion. He's toast regardless.
Now start rebuilding your honor by resigning
Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
stand firm GOV.
Apology not accepted
Lmfao
He can still serve the people, just not as governor. Conservatives don't castigate until you address Steve King!
One may be repentant for the act of murder or theft or bigotry or insult, but should still be held accountable for the act.
Forgiveness and Repentance | Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King and a passage from the Book of Ezekiel regarding forgiveness and repentance. Summarizing the verse, he states that repentance involves an 'actual change of attitude' and forgiveness includes forgetting
“Amazing Grace” is probably the most beloved hymn of the last two centuries. “Amazing Grace” author John Newton, was a former slave trader. Are there two sets of rules, one for Rs one for Ds. Repentant people & realization of what is right & true. Is Northam truly repentant?
Lt Governor...have we checked all his interactions going back to high school, get those year books out. We have a new standard to up hold. Let's see how this works out!
Democrats set new rules for politics, so here we go. Let's look at your past, going back to high school. They opened pandora box, it can.t be closed.
Can’t give a pass on this. If he was old enough to be in med school and see the human form at its most vulnerable then he was old enough to know this was wrong. We all make mistakes and sometimes we suffer the consequences of our mistakes.
He has to go
Sorry my ass. Resign!
ResignNortham
Too little too late 😞
He’ll get a pass. He’s a Democrat. Just like Hillary, he’ll get a pass.
He’s Ned tomanethr decision to RESIGN!!
Resign
My God, he was 25 years old, not a baby, You must resign now mr. Gov . I don't care if you believe that you change, you knew what's wrong from right then.
Sorry cos he got caught 🤦🏽♀️
Resign,I am waiting.
He's so conservative that he used YearBook to destroy his reputation, rather than Facebook! Now that's what I call old-fashioned!
At least he admitted his awful mistake and apologised profusely. Unlike “Bart Mackavenaugh” who claims he only played football and drank the occasional beer, and more beer then some more. Then he got to be on SCOTUS! Attempted rape Ok if you’re a Trump supporter I guess.
Why should we listen to this guy. Does anyone have a good argument
Does anyone really care!
Hope no one here ever laughed at Eddie Murphy’s Delirious... seems many forgot what a lot of people thought was funny in 1984...Times change, thank god. But history doesn’t.
Racism is racism be it Democrat’s and or Republicans. However, it’s still a hidden factor in these United States more than one want to believe. It is what you call Undercover Racism that needs to be called out from its hidden rock when and where ever it exist. .
He needs to resign. The sun should not set on one more day with him in office.
But many of the same folks, groups, media outlets outraged by this didn’t say a word about the Black Hebrew Israelites yelling racist & homophobic slurs? Sometimes it seems that racism & homophobia only apply when convenient. That’s pretty sad.
He should have known better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He needs to resign. Immediately.
:I admit I made a wrong decision...'
Yes this beats the phonies caught out with their pants down: 'I know God forgives me' :'The charges are an outright lie.''On my mother's grave...'
Kavanaugh sits on Supreme Court, and this governor has apparently been a good person/learned over past 30 yrs. Why don't we yell, Lock him up. Why not lock everyone up and throw away the key. This is our modern way of tar and feathering people. Once bad always bad. no redemption
This is not acceptable from anyone... regardless of what side you're on and the Governor needs to step down
First day of Black History Month with this. 🤔
Not enough. Resigning would do however.
hardball I support the governor and he should remain in his position. Cannot fault anybody for something that happened thirty years ago. Folks do evolve you know.
He must leave.
Let the Governor make his case to the NAACP. If they accept his blunder, move on. If they don't, he should resign and move on.
Racism doesn't just go away. Step aside Gov. Northam.
Again saying sorry has no consequence so what are we talking about? Not enough
Needs to go
Man gotta step down, period. We don’t criticize the Republicans because they behave like animals then turn around and do the same. Lesson learn, What you say and do have consequences. stepdownralphnortham
I wonder why no one saw this before................maybe he was just given a pass because he's a democrat? hmmmm
Dems, we spend our lives asking racists to change their evil ways. Why do we penalize anyone who changed, became a Democrat, fights for the poor. To ask him to resign is to discourage ppl from changing. Trump hasn’t resigned. prison reform, Gov. Ralph Northam, Second chances.
Resign
I agree, he should resign, so is Trump, King and SC Judge that likes beer!
Great now Trump will dub him the Face and Leader of the Democratic party and his idiot base will believe it. How the hell do republicnas like Steve King get away with this shit?
He must resign!
Democrats on the right side of history you say? OOPs Worse than Roy Moore maybe?
He should’ve known better
I am a proud Democrat and he needs to resign, no it's butt's about it, if we want to be respected we always need to take the higher ground and show the Republicans that HATE, BIGOTRY is not allowed in our party, as simple as that. What he did is shameful!!
While I apologise for my past, I am still in favor of euthanizing babies.
He must be evaluated on who he is now, not what he did over 30 years ago.
Which one is he?
another racist democrat.....sort of like saying the sun comes up every day...
Not good enough.
so this plain-sight artifact wasnt 'unearthed' during his contentious gubernatorial race, when he was vetted to run for lt. gov, before he became a doctor -- or was it just ignored...
People like him are always sorry, after they get caught 😏
STEP DOWN HYPOCRITE !
If this were a republican the msm would be going nuts. Hell, SpeakerPelosi would probably cancel the SOTU address until they resigned.
Well he’s a democrat. So liberals won’t care
This is despicable but what the Hell kind of school would allow it too?
Stick a fork in him....
Now, be deeply sorry and resign!!!
He didn’t have to take that picture. What is it about dressing up as us that so appealing to white folks?
I'm not surprised, people who are racist or been involved in racist behavior, are embedded throughout the system, lime termites. I thank the conservative group that exposed him. He can apologize, that's fine, but he needs to step down NOW!
Resign now!
I’ve never understood why a white man would ever think black face would be: 1) amusing; 2) inoffensive; or 3) not a career ender.
Damn! You go back to 1984 and the NAACP is giving Trump all kinds of awards for being a champion of the people. Crazy!
Sooooo very tired of apologies after caught. Not buying it. Fire him.
Sorry you were caught. Jeeez go away
hardball Resign
Anyone with such poor judgement should resign, not enough social conscience to be a governor.
Not only should the Governor resign, the school should be asked why they allowed such a racist photo to be published.
You all spent time falsely painting the president as being racist when one of your own actually painted his face to humiliate Blacks! Let's see how much coverage you all do about this incident!!
hardball I. am. disgusted. To have the gall to include that photo on your page as a joke. We're the same age, so I know you knew it was offensive in '84. Just get out. Git!!
If he was a Republican, his constituents would be telling him to stay in office.
If Trump is the genius the thinks he is, he'll keep his fingers out of it He has a history of endorsing bad behavior, & now he can't even condemn it. Nice legacy he's got going. I'm a Dem, but this is far beyond party He's got to go now! Hopefully by tonight No excuses, just go
Dressing that way is one thing. Choosing the picture for your yearbook photo means you liked it.
P.I.G. No other word describes him.
Resign. I don't care if you are Rep, Dem or Independent. ByeFelicia
He needs to go now !
Blackface Really? 1984? Oh, your career is so over.
As a lifelong Democrat RESIGN NOW
Your not nearly,as deeply,sorry, as all decent Americans of every color are, THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU even exist in our country any longer.
Resign!
You knew it was wrong why did you do it and now asking for apology always GOPS
Democratic Pattern? “I use to be racist- I’m sorry”. VA GOV. Northam , NY senator Gillibrand. How many more will admit this cnn msmbc FoxNews SenGillibrand RalphNortham
✌️
It seems to be perfectly fine when Hollywood (court jesters for the rest of us) do it!
All I have to say is Brett Kavaughn.
GovernorVA Pay no attention to these political pundits & circumstantial situational idiots who think what once was acceptable & normal behavior then, should be the basis for resignation today!! Times change and so do people, practice, policy & procedure
Resign
stop the BS that's happening today and I'll believe u r sincere about eradicating racism.... so what on removal of statues and old pics people do to pretend only those in hoods r racist... now u get to tell ur friends u did something to take down racism
Nickname.
ResignNow
hardball It was 1980’s... get over it... not interested in this story...
...“for the decision I made to appear as I did“ 😳 what sort of nonsense is that?
twright55 Not enough ! He needs to resign !
Get out Ralph, you're done. We see you!
He's sorry he got caught. He should be sorry he tried to hide his racist past. He's not sorry. He's embarrassed. There's a difference. Where is this racist medical school anyway? ResignRalph
Virginia. The state that had to be forced by the Supreme Court to allowed interracial marriage as recently as 1967. Less than 20 years later, all the prejudice and hate had definitely not been eliminated from schools and universities (and probably most households). Sickening.
Hard to take back your personality.
He is probably using logic like... “Well if Jimmy Kimmel that hero mouthpiece for leftist America doesnt have to resign, why should I have to? After all Im so far left I think killing full-term babies is just fine”
The GOP outrage over the Governor’s racist photo smells a little suspect, considering they are the party who supported Roy Moore , enable Donald Trump, and turned a blind eye to Steve Kings bullshit for 15 years ! No excuse for Northam’s actions, but GOP outrage seems a bit rich
Another question: Why did the yearbook editor(s) device to include it?
Apology Never Accepted Fk U
NorthamMustResign
He should resign.
Your apology is not accepted.
forlornQuixOtic You aren’t entitled to this office RalphNortham Even if you’ve changed you need to resign. This showed tremendously poor judgment. You need to represent ALL the residents of VA & I don’t think you credibly can now. Did you think no one would find out? 🤦♀️
hardball
Racists come in all party affiliations. You can’t excuse behavior that is anathema to human decency at any age. It’s just evil, cruel and wrong. And they should be held accountable no matter how long ago it was.
In the past their was a old saying if you done something wrong it took a thousand years to be known, today with social media it takes one second of a click away from everyone to know around the world lesson don't do it or it will comeback to bite you.
He has to go no apologies needed none wanted just pack his things grab the keys and lock all doors to him move on to bigger better things
IDGAF if he's a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent, or whatall. It's still disgusting. And it was disgusting in the 80s, too, btw.
Interesting such isolated missteps, while serious, are enough to destroy careers while Trump remains in office. We are awash with scapegoating.
It’s a bunch of bull s..t that people have to apologize for things they done when they were kids. The things we did and we all have regrets are the things that make us grow. So all you liberals keep apologizing and pointing fingers. Phony
hardball Bye Bye
Nope! That won't cut it. Try again..
Shameful! Northam needs to do much more than apologize. If that includes resigning, so be it. But first, don't Democrats need to find out if every GOP official who has done as bad or worse has been forced out of office? Ask why Democrats have to play by a different set of rules.
When is Steve King stepping down?
Paradoxologist9 Al Franken. Take two.
Resign now
wonderfullone Do you give tRumps lies this much coverage?
Now resign for supporting the murder of babies. What a guy
Remember the Northam Ad. About gillispe with photos of redneck with confederate flag running down kids of color.
It's still a lot of racists running around the Democratic party!!
Is GovernorVA sorry that he got 'caught' being a continuous Racist and promoter of infanticide? Dems are a party of Racist
hardball Old enough to be in medical school but didn't realize this was a very bad idea? Wow.
GovRonDeSantis, made his newly-appointed Sec of State resign after a pic of the guy in blackface became public. Northam must do the same immediately, the pics are outrageous, NorthamMustResign
Woppie and her husband did the same
IF the Dems turn their back on Northam, I'm done with the party. It would mean that they haven't learned a thing about sticking together. We can fix this, but not if we fall for the game being played on us.
👋 bye bye
Resign...have some self respect , you'r not going to be able to sit out the shitstorm ,the current Trump political climate requires you to show Country/ before /Party before/ Self!!!
While an adult in MED SCHOOL shows his charachter
Resign
On the same day SenWarren apologized for pretending to be an Indian, GovernorVA apologized for pretending to be black. You can’t make this stuff up. 🤦♂️
This was 1984, kids. Not 1954. Northam has ZERO excuse. He must resign.
The Democrats n Republicans party has a history of racism..Black ppl don't Trust u🍷😵
should cost him his job
I’m deeply sorry for many things in my past.... voting for him is one of those things.
Of course if he was a conservative
roripierpont1 Karma, dude, karma
BLah BLah BLah, you dems LOVE the KKK and LOVE being racist, so BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Dems: 'MAGA hats are racist...they are the new white hoods'. Same Dems: 'Gov Northam is sorry for the black face & KKK costume.' DoubleStandards
Decision? Really. A decision is whether to wear navy or black socks. A decision is whether to have chicken or fish. Donning blackface is a scurrilous, racist ACTION.
But he’s sticking to his racist roots w/ radical support of abortion, which is conducted by PParenthood w/ its racist Sangar roots
Yet MSNBC keeps defending these centrist type Dems that always turn out to be racist.
Not condoning this, I do not care what party it is and he should resign, but why not realDonaldTrump that blatantly displays racism, sexually assaulted women, discriminated again blacks, and more? There is no place in government for the likes of none of the racist.
As a fairly radical person of color, I am disappointed in Northam. But I refuse to throw a Democrat under the bus in the face of the shit we have in the white house, the shit we had in congress, and shit in the Senate. Stick together.
So where is Black Lives Matters on this? No outrage?
Aren't the TheDemocrats going to make him resign
If he had gotten out of ahead of this and brought it up himself, it might be different. However he got found out, he was just going to let it ride. He's gotta go.
Out with the trash!
GovRalphNortham See that is something you never took the time to learn about Black Americans, we have forgiving hearts. Your apology is accepted but don't take our forgiving heart as a weak people. I don't know why you all hate us so much.
'I am deeply sorry that people discovered that I'm racist but I also don't give a shit and won't actually do anything about it.'
He means he’s sorry he got caught.
New rules. Anything after 5th grade is fair game. Buh bye.
Sooooo this is the first time it ever came up? 🙄
'I'm sorry'...ok then, move along.
way to ring in Black History Month Gov Northam!!!
NorthamMustResign now! We can’t have a racist in Virginia!
The first step in repentance is full disclosure of the wrong. In this he fails as he did not say which of two in that picture he was.
See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.
Boy bye
twright55 But this is still more acceptable to a liberal than a MAGA hat.
Wonder how many other white democrats have this in their past
Youre only apologizing because you got caught, resign ya racist
In 1984 you should have known better, but in 2016 we elected an orange face and should have known better... Hopefully, we will be forgiven if we correct our ways in 2020. True, a lot of damage has been done by all.
REALLY poor judgment and BAD form. No excuse, and as you say....then and now. You need to exit. You can't make this one go away Governor. Sorry!
Someone needs a statement from the Lt governor He's African American, let's hear his take
He didn't just appear in the photo... He was so proud of it that he actually submitted the photo to be memorialized in his med school yearbook.
Thoughts, prayers and resignations.
Too late
marynoise Sorry needs to be replaced with “I resign”
Sorry you got caught
If Civil War statues are being torn down, he must resign
In the statement, Gov. Northam gives no indication that he will resign over the photo, and does not clarify if he is the person seen in blackface vs. the person seen in KKK costume, or provide other context for the circumstances of the photo.
