Thomas K. Norment Jr., the powerful Republican majority leader in the Virginia Senate, was a top editor of a 1968 college yearbook that included several photographs of students in blackface as well as racist slurs.
Mr. Norment, 72, a longtime fixture and political broker in the State Legislature, is the first Republican to be swept up in Virginia’s ongoing political crisis over racist behavior in the past. The Virginian-Pilot newspaper first reported on the photos and material on Thursday.
As a senior at Virginia Military Institute, then an all-male college that was sometimes called “the West Point of the South,’’ Mr. Norment was managing editor of the 1968 edition of the Bomb yearbook. That edition included students in blackface and slurs aimed at African-Americans, Asians and Jews, according to a copy viewed by The New York Times.
Mr. Norment, in a statement released by his office Thursday, said, “The use of blackface is abhorrent in our society and I emphatically condemn it.” He said he was part of a seven-member team at the Bomb, “a 359-page yearbook,” and added, “I cannot endorse or associate myself with every photo, entry, or word on each page.” He noted that he did not appear in the offensive pictures and said he did not take those photos.
Attorney General Mark Herring, that they had each worn blackface as young men. The admissions by those two Democrats have plunged Virginia into turmoil and led to calls for both men’s resignations. A third Democratic leader, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, is facing an allegation of sexual assault.
The Bomb yearbook includes a photograph of two smiling people in blackface holding a football, one with a cigarette and white military hat. In another photo, a young man is in blackface posing with others apparently at a party.
The yearbook includes page after page of seniors posed in starched white military shirts, or sometimes informally, accompanied by breezy descriptions of their sports and social activities. Some of these descriptions refer to students with slurs and obscenities.
Virginia Military Institute, founded two decades before the Civil War, is a state-supported academy that has long been favored by prominent Virginia families. It only admitted African-Americans in 1968, the year that Mr. Norment graduated. Women were first admitted about three decades later.
Mr. Northam, the governor, graduated from the institute in 1981, where his yearbook entry included the nickname “c00nman.’’ He went on to Eastern Virginia Medical School, where a photograph from his 1984 yearbook page surfaced last week showing a figure in blackface and another in K.K.K. robes.
A statement by Mr. Norment on the yearbook’s page dedicated to its editors, reads, “It has been the objective of this year’s Bomb staff to concentrate on the VMI as it exists in actuality, not in theory.”
According to Chris Lavoie who's on the Stephanie Miller Show he saw people do Blackface in VA when he grew up there,so yeah
There has to be some genetic thing in white peoples DNA that makes them compulsively do this shyt.
Only explanation
You gotta wonder just how many pictures of governors and senators in blackface are just buried in some archives underneath every southern statehouse.

I didn't even realize the implication when Nordham described how hard it was to get shoe polish off. Between this and Liam Neeson, does anything else need to be said about racism in America? Unfortunately, it does. It won't matter how audacious or blatant, there will always be a section of mainstream defenders, both in the GOP, and the population at large, hidden behind computer screens or clutching torches in VA.

brown asylum seekers being thrown straight into concentration camps and having their children stolen from them and auctioned off to white families was a story that flew under the radar for just about everybody but face paint has got more people interested

I'm torn because of my disdain for Harris, but this could be Anita Hill 2.0, where people don't believe a black woman's account of sexual assault.But I doubt a black sexual assault victim, who's a professor would be making shyt up.
So yeah he probably did it.
i live here. its obviously divided politically (and with very obvious geographic boundaries) but the population as a whole now is purple-leaning blue
