(22,522 posts)leadership position where he can do a lot of damage to race relations in general and party politics on the state and national stage in particular, a man who as long as he is governor makes it very difficult for a Democratic presidential candidate to win Virginia in 2020, a man who appears to believe that "I wore blackface for sure, just not that time, and I'm just going to keep being governor while I try to prove that I'm still worthy of being governor" is an appropriate response, which it is not. He and his team clearly have terrible judgment and faulty moral compasses.

(17,235 posts)ever lived on this Earth. Emulating famous people with costumes is nothing new and has been repeated for many generations. Time to put a halt to the Al Franken 2.0 rush to judgment and see what the truth actually is.
Emulating MJ in 1984 was very, very, very common.
