Yeah, this is really stupid.
Virginia Democrats decline to call on Fairfax, Herring to resign - Politico
This is not that difficult, for thinking people. But of course in this country, mention "race" and "gender" and "sex" and people lose their got-damn minds. Especially if "race" refers to something regarding "African Americans". Then there will be little hope of recovery back into rational thought.

Herring and these race-confessionals of his to the black caucus, I barely even care about. So f' that guy.
More importantly, Fairfax does an Al, says "investigate me," and steps down. Northam appoints a new Dem. Lt Gov. Then Northam stays or goes/whatever. Tim Kaine backs down from this interlocutor (yes, I used that word on purpose -- it's a minstrelsy reference) role, which isn't accomplishing anything.
What I'm seeing, though, is an overwillingness to hang on to power because the GOP plays dirty pool and we can't let them get in, or so the logic goes.
Well, these guys -- ALL of them, including Justin Fairfax --
should have thought of that before doing what they've been doing. Alleged, in the case of Fairfax, and with proof for the rest of these blackface clowns.

Blackface in a yearbook represents the continuation of a virulent legacy, but it's not accused rape or sexual misconduct. I have a real problem with seeing support that was there for Christine Blasey Ford and Stormy Daniels not being there for Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson. And in certain corners, it brings up what Anita Hill endured.
For its part the VA Black Caucus has called on Justin Fairfax to resign.
