Um...are there contexts where appearing in blackface in the distant past might be forgiveable? Maybe. Like if you and a black friend each "portrayed" each other's race as part of a presentation to send up racism and stereotypes. Or your parents put you in blackface at age 9 when you said you wanted to be Michael Jordan for Halloween and you realize now how frickin' creepy that is. But the Northam photo is clearly unforgiveable.
Sure, but I suspect that’s not why the NYDN chose to write that article. I would guess it have more to do with the total meltdown of the Executive Branch in Virginia and the very real possibility a Republican could become Governor.
Edit to add: always amazed at the free pass Jimmy Kimmel gets fro his loving Karl Malone impersonation
"Like if you and a black friend each "portrayed" each other's race as part of a presentation to send up racism and stereotypes."
In Florida last year, it came out that one year when they were young, one white elected official and his best friend - who is black - decided to dress as each other for Halloween.
the black friend gave interviews where he said basically, 'nothing to see here, move it along' - and his pal got re-elected.
the Klan hood in that photo puts it over the top for me re Northam. and how the hell did that photo make it into the yearbook anyway? it was the mid-1980s, not the mid-1930s.

If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

FiveThirtyEight has an analysis of the question we've been discussing about whether a "moderate" could win the Democratic nomination (and an analysis of who the "moderate" Democratic primary voters are).
