If Herring can blame bro culture, does this mean others can, too? Yes. Blackface in undergrad forty odd years ago at UVA? Casual racism was the reality of the era.I was more asking where one can draw a line. 40 odd years + undergrad is okay, but 30 odd years + grad school not okay? I am not making that argument, just saying you beg that question. I guess the main difference is Herring was upfront and out in front, where Northam got freaked and started eating his own foot.

Herring got out front of his shit and can legitimately blame bro culture at UVA forty years ago.
Why are Democrats voting against William Barr's nomination?

Exactly. However, someone pulling that blackface shit as an adult in recent years has no leg to stand on.

But regardless both pale in comparison to the accusations against Fairfax.What a dilemma facing the democrats in Virginia.
I find it funny that there are just 2 on this forum that feel Northam has not shown he is a racist. And thus should not resignDems seemingly want to eat their own though - should be interesting. (Al Franken redux?)

What Larry said, but I also think there is some recognizable distance between posing in black face in order to complete a tableau with someone in a KKK outfit (and finding it so representative of yourself that it is included in your yearbook page) and doing so to pose as a rapper.Also, needs to be said, Herring's mea culpa was actually convincing.
