Kamala Harris tweeted after the results were in last year in the Virginia Gubernatorial race that
"Thank Goodness that Virginia has been preserved from racism by Ralph Northam!"
Harris was among the first of the democrat Presidential hopefuls to throw Northam under the bus when the year book pictures became public.
Is there any evidence that Northam has, in any way, demonstrated racism in his adult life?
Just asking.

And if the democrats are so strong about giving convicted felons another shot at society, from voting rights on up, how do they square that with telling Northam to take a hike for a 35 year old year book photo?

Aren't medical school students adults?

Just asking.

And hasn't Trump's administration proven they mistreat children and have worked actively to keep these children from their parents?

Aren't they in serious denial and failure to comply with court orders?

Robert Byrd was an  adult when he was a KKK member, filibustered against the Civil Rights Act, ( and on and on)
yet later renounced racism and segregation and became a revered figure in the US Senate.

You asked if Northam demonstrated racism in his adult life. Whether or not he's changed as did Byrd (though he was hardly revered by all) is a separate question.

That's not fair to DimBulb, Yank!

Just because he established a criterion in a question doesn't mean you can hold him to it two posts later!

Australia's a man's country!

More like a border-secure country...where floodgates are not welcome.

Four Corners has evidence of at least two young Saudi women who arrived at Sydney Airport in the past two years but were turned back after making their asylum claims clear to Australian officials.
Four Corners has also been told that Saudi women who arrive alone at Australian airports are being questioned as to why they are travelling without a male guardian.

At least 80 Saudi women have sought asylum in Australia in recent years, many of them fleeing Saudi Arabia's oppressive male guardianship laws, which allow their husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and even sons to strictly control their lives.

Four Corners has spoken to several Saudi women who managed to escape the Middle Eastern kingdom and make it to Australia. All of them remain on bridging visas waiting for their asylum claims to be processed.

Way to prove the point.

If Saudi WOMEN are being excluded, that has nothing to do with floodgates, misogynist.

Oh yes it does.
First a few, then a few more, and before you know it the trickle has become a flood.
If the criteria is "we don't like the culture in our country, so you should let us come live in your country"...then next minute 'every' woman in the Muslim world will be arriving...which of course cannot be catered for.
So, something has to give.

Of course if New Zealand doesn't like it...they could always welcome 'every' woman in the Muslim world into their country.

I think so. Do you, Socrates?

Well I guess you and I look at the world differently then. What's a little darkening of the face to look like Michael Jackson among friends?

No, you woman-hater.

If they let the men in and not independent women, if they question the women asking where their men are, then this has nothing to do with floodgates and everything to do with sexism.

But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

No

Yeah, you do. Regularly, when you fail to denounce it in the party you embrace.
