Are we talking about the yearbook thing or is there more? I give a pass to white people that were racist 30 years ago on either side as I've said repeatedly. It matters to me how they've been a majority of the time since then
My issue isn't that trump was racist 30 years ago it's that he's been a racist for the last 30 years
If the Virginia governor supports police abuse and brutality against minorities and the trampling of rights I dont like him any more than i like trump. I'm not married to Democrats I just dislike them less as a party than Republicans. For reasons that I state daily
the point isnt that people should be held accountable for mistakes from decades ago, the point is that the democrats in these virginia cases dont hold their own people to the same standard that they constantly demand from everyone else.
they constantly demand that every glimmer of racially insensitive behavior, no matter from how far in someone's past, is disqualifying, they constantly demand to believe female accusers in #metoo-cases, no matter how much or how little proof there is.
once applying those standards, which they pretend to champion, would carry the risk of losing political power, as is the case in Virginia, they all of a sudden and oh-so-surprisingly want none of it.
