Where is the outrage? Why no protesters, with torches, outside the Governor's residence? Why is he still in office?

The belt buckle on the plaid pants is the same in BOTH PICTURES... None of you people on here would make a pimple equivalant on Columbo's ASS. Also the govenors belt is 4-5 inches above the boys in the plaid pants. If the gov. Borrowed those pants he also borrowed his belt.

Y'all need to leave Coonman alone!

Well, remember what Hillary said about Booker and Holder, 'They all look alike'. Why wasn't there a stink made about that? I find that very offensive too.

A sign of the bizarre times we are living in. A story about a 'Plaid Pants theory' in wednesdaythoughts

When a Democrat turn out to be a racist or a homophobic , media show how bias they are . Can you imagine if this picture came from a republican yearbook , it be a national outrage . And that is a problem because it shows that racist in one group (Democrats) is approved.

Its not unclear. Its on HIS yearbook page. This is a crock of shit. Absolute nonsense. Find 1 person who didnt curate their yearbook page. This is just stupid. Because hes white, this bullshit is taken seriously

Yea, ok.

To be fair, lots of boys wore the plaid pants. Whether he’s in the picture or not, it is still on his page and he never mentioned it. He also could not remember if it was him or not which means that it was possible for him to make the decision to do this.

Still condones baby killing

Actually, to me the person in the KKK robe/hood appears to be person of color as you look at hands and portions of face showing. And height appears to be short for adult male unless the black face person is exceptionally tall. Northam is not short

The pants are not even the same. The plaid that goes down the crouch of the black face photo doesn't even match the other pic.

We all know he’s the one in the picture! Shame on him he should’ve know better.

This whole issue with a 40 year old school picture is trivial compared to what’s happening today. See:

Have to say, whomever was in the photo, IF it was black face, did an awfully thorough job, all they down to fingernails...it looks like it's an actual Black person.

Libs on Kavanagh: He’s guilty without proof!!! Libs on their own people: photographic evidence isn’t real

Definitely not a Michael Jackson look, like he said.

During that era, for whatever reason plaid trousers was a fad. The plaid pants were hideous. Hopefully, Notham is not relying on the plaid pants defense.

Can we please talk about the environmental racism that’s being overshadowed by this stupid yearbook photo? You’re going nuts over the ugly cherry on top of this racist sundae and glossing over that the banana is teeming with worms. GOOGLE ACP UNION HILL PIPELINE.

It's on his yearbook page. He admitted it then pivoted when he saw the backlash. It's over. It's him. Stop lying.

The plaid pants on the right have more white in them.

Waiting for sightings of hobos in blackface wearing plaid pants and sporting umbrellas on a grassy knoll.

This Liberal media with TDS will paint this with different colors to protect their party of favor. Get set this will be swept under the rug or confused to a point it won't be easy to understand but it is easy to see the Washington Post TDS.

Forget the black face allegation Those plaid pants are a much more egregious crime against fashion No man wearing them - however long ago - should be allowed anywhere near public office (realDonaldTrump I’m looking at you too)

His story is crap from beginning to end. Even when trying to say he used blackface only when acting like Jackson what else did he say? He said he only used a little because it's hard to get off your face. Now how would he know that?

Hey queenelizabeth can we return this state? As you can see, the original racism is still intact.

Some one going to own up to the photo or not? IamSparticus?

Looks like the same shirt also

Plaid pants are never in style.

This is so late in the cycle, get on the next blackface and metoo scandals in democratic VA
