it wasn t because he had donned black face in that photo even though there s a good argument that he was the one in the kkk robe. i don t think that s acceptable in our politics. let s talk about that. because canadian politics are not american politics. what i have curiosity about, the calculus on racist behavior in canadian politics. he s liberal. it s not the same thing as an american liberal. you talk about a layering of behavior with northam. let s talk about it with trudeau. i look down to say this. i want to get it right. so on the third incident, might have been the second actually, when i was in high school, i dressed up at a talent show and sank dao with abdulmutallmakeup you re right. he s 47 now.
we have political leaders still dancing around the phrase, acting as if they didn t know there was some sort of racial aspect to the comments. i think it s sad, it s disheartening, and it speaks to the way people have prized politics above morality above actual values in this country. i think we over simplify race often. and unless there s a kkk robe, burning cross that somehow racism is not happening you can ask any african-american, we know that racism often comes in the form of coded language. people won t say how they really feel. they re going to let you know you re not want ed. trump s words have ramifications. these words are being echoed in the brexit movement, words like this were being used, i could
them he wasn t doing any of this and they believed him. at one point during police testimony john harris voice cracked and his father went. the younger harris did not tell his parents that he was testifying at that hearing. ralph northam s apology tour is off to a rough start. the student government at virginia union university asked him not to attend a chapel service monitoring civil rights protesters. northam says he appreciates the initial invitation but he will abide by their wishes. a photo from his yearbook shows one person in blackface and another in a kkk robe. he initially apologized and then insisted that neither of those people is him. and on the front page of usa today, they looked at 900 year books and fund racist images easily in almost all of them. and they say blackface parties, kkk, mob lynchings all the
