Northam was 25 years old. He wasn’t a teenger. He wasn’t even 22. He was 25. I’m sorry but you gotta draw a line and call something socially unacceptable instead of acting like the past is a get out of jail free card. I don’t believe Northam should be ruined over this btw but we do need to have a frank discussion about why blackface and the KKK are so awful. And by going “Oh he was just a kid” or “Hey it was 1984, things were different”, we can never have that conversation candidly.
