Virginia Governor to Resign over blackface pictures?

[Dr H]

It was an explicitly racist joke, just to remove any ambiguity.  No one is locking anybody up, or delivering any life sentences..at all.

In terms of prison, no.  But a man is being pressured to relinquished his job; one he was elected to do, and one which apparently at least half his constituents -- and 58% of his black constituents -- want him to keep.

That public figures public image can be damaged, and that they aren't entitled to their status is it.

Sure.  And Northam's public image is damaged, no question about it.
He was also elected to do a job, and there is a procedure in place for having him recalled, if those who want him out are serious enough about it to initiate the process.  Cat-calls in the press, oddly enough, aren't a part of that formal procedure.

That's all.  That's the sum total of the pc sjw libtard white genocide currently ongoing and ripping the democratic party to shreds, shreds! - and even that much is spotty.  We've got a mouthy racist sitting in the oval office and a wheedling bullshit artist in virginias gov mansion, so I don't know that we poor beset upon white menfolk are actually losing much ground in the culture war.

I would say that what this situation wonderfully illustrates is that people should be a little more diligent about checking out candidates for office before  voting them into the office.  That yearbook photo didn't just magically appear in February; it was sitting there for 34 years before election day.
