Fresh on the heels of a poll that found a majority of black Virginians think Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam should remain in office, the governor, who is still reeling from the fallout of a blackface scandal (albeit a scandal that has been somewhat overshadowed by several credible allegations of sexual assault against his lieutenant governor), is apparently determined to change their minds.
During an interview Sunday with CBS This Morning's Gayle King, Northam committed a gaffe that, considering his current circumstances, is bound to leave his few remaining defenders slackjawed in disbelief. While explaining to King why he felt he should finish out the remaining three years of his term (while pursuing an agenda of racial equality), Northam casually referred to the slaves who once populated the former confederate state as "indentured servants."
The remarks has already provoked reactions of shock and disbelief that Northam could say something so insensitive during a nationally broadcast TV interview at a time when seemingly every politician in his state has been accused of overt racism

So what..can't a man have his own opinion.
Many of those folks wanted to go on a cruise, and a trip to a exotic land. Ralph had ancestors that were sea captains providing them with free passage! His other relatives helped the new black people find a place to live.
The black people were so glad to have a home and food that they helped out the family for the rest of their lives.
Many descendants of these first Africans still live in Virginia where they continue to support him and even voted him in as Governor.
They have even givin him a high honor by naming him, "Coon-man" and he shows how proud he is for his ancestors helping blacks by dressing up in Blackface every now and then. He even had a dog that is black and he calls it "Sambo".
Ralph was not happy at the medical class reunion, he had outgrown his college Klansman out fit so he had to dress up in Blackface. The highlight of the reunion though was they let him light the burning cross.
There were far more WHITE slaves in history...ck it out !!!

slaves !!!! And time to do away with Affimative Action &
forced busing too ......TIME FOR EQUALITY !!!
