Looks like Northam will be allowed to stay. Repubs need to remember this whenever they are accused of racism.

feb 12 2019 That blackface/KKK photo on Governor Northam's yearbook page won't be a problem for Virginia's black leaders as long as he meets their demands. The audacious "I am not going anywhere" Northam is wheeling and dealing with the race-baiters here in Virginia to save the Democratic Party and his own "white privileged" skin.

With alleged rapist Lt..Gov Fairfax out of the running, the NAACP, black clergy, and various black legislators in Virginia are stuck with Northam, and they are calling the shots.

After demanding Northam's resignation a few short days ago, the chairman of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus changed his mind and now says he's willing to sit down with the governor and discuss "issues important to black lawmakers."

In a letter from another group of black leaders, Gov. Northam and A.G. Mark Herring were called upon to raise $5 million for each of the five historically black colleges and to remove confederate statues on historic Monument Avenue in Richmond and elsewhere in Virginia.

With the Democratic Party in a vise grip over rape allegations involving Lt. Governor Fairfax and A.G. Herring's 1980 blackface antics, the strategists, desperate to keep the fourth-in-line Republican out of the governor's mansion, defaulted to their tried and true method of securing black loyalty to Northam — through appeasement and financial incentives.
