In reply to the discussion: I am fucking amazed that there are people still defending Northam after that press conference. [View all]MichMary
(1,714 posts)33. There was a picture
that kind of casts doubt on whether it was Northam in the yearbook photo.
It was in a Gateway Pundit article, which was linked from a comment after a WaPo article. (I won't link to a rightwing source, like the GP.)
It shows a guy in a pic wearing plaid pants that may be the same pants on the blackface guy in the yearbook photo.
DH looked at it, and says the pants aren't the same, but I think the difference could be in the quality of the picture.
Regardless, Northam admitted to wearing blackface, there is the heinous nickname, and a number of other examples of racist behavior. He needs to go, but I'm not so sure it's him in the yearbook photo.
