TTT - // We had the black an white minstrels till 1978! Why do we expect to retrospectively impose modern attitudes? // I think 'we' as a society don't expect that, but the Twitface goons with their over-develped sense of self-righteousness, minority though they are, make a lot of noise, and we should never confuse a volume of noise with the weight of the...

Goodness knows, mass hysteria is certainly making a comeback big style - all too exhausting in my book.
Maybe he was in the same street as Liam Neeson all those years ago.

That would have put a very confused cat among the pigeons.
I loved the Black and White minstrels, my husband and I went to see their
show in London many times, and met the cast backstage.
As for the stink about Mary Poppins, and the chimney sweeps well
the is really stupid.
Jesus wept. I despair of this world.

There is an 'e' on the end.
No *** Retrolock...
It’s the state of Virginia in the US and they are deflecting (falling on thier swords) to take the spotlight off late term abortion and legalised infanticide.

NY passed but Virginia just lost a bill to make abortion up to the moment of birth legal and able to be performed by any medical practitioner.

Governor Northam also went on a filmed radio show to say ... and the infant would be made comfortable and swabbed in another room while the mother and doctor had discussions.

I have asked several times on US sites why blackface 35 or 40 years ago is worse and deserves sacking and infanticide does not. Most reply’s are that it is the Democrates that are forcing the narrative of outrage for 40yrold blackface pictures and Republicans for trying to stop late term abortions and infanticide.

Part of the SOTU Address was about it. The Dems just sat there stoned faced.
Not only that Cassa but they are trying to make termination of an infant life legal AFTER a natural birth. Don't forget that people like Mark Herring have been screaming racist at Conservatives at every opportunity for decades. He had the nod that the picture was "out" so pre-emptively tried to diffuse the karma comeuppance. Wicked lot.

togo: "not only that Cassa but they are trying to make termination of an infant life legal AFTER a natural birth" - have you got any further info on that? Seems like it would be murder.
Yes TTT. But this site does no "like" links from some sites. I can however copy and paste a little vignette.

//Here is Northam just five days ago expressing his views on fourth trimester abortions:
When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physician—more than one physician, by the way—and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s non-viable… If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So I think this was really blown out of proportion. We want the government not to be involved in these types of decisions.
To recap: The child has been born. The child is dying. But before the child can be saved, it will be made “comfortable” and then the participants in the birth will convene to decide if a helpless newborn — that is dying in front a doctor trained to save its life — should have its life saved.
That is what Northam wants to legalize.
On Friday, Northam admitted he participated in a racist photo featuring one person in full Ku Klux Klan uniform standing with a guy in full blackface.
Then on Saturday he said it was his “belief” that was not him in the photo, and he had a doozy of an alibi… You see, he couldn’t have posed in the blackface/KKK photo because he was out somewhere else putting on blackface to imitate Michael Jackson.
No, he actually said that:
My belief that I did not wear that costume or attend that party stems, in part, by my clear memory of other mistakes I made in the same period of my life. That same year, I did participate in a dance contest in San Antonio in which I darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume.
You see, officer, I couldn’t have killed my mother-in-law because I remember killing my wife.
And then, as a means to prove his alibi, the 59-year-old offered to moonwalk for reporters. Seriously. Fer’ real..
Mr. and Mrs. Virginia Democrat: You’ve just learned that your governor is in favor of allowing babies to be left to die, enjoyed the nickname “Coonman” in college, wore blackface as an adult, and has no idea whatsoever how in the world that blackface/KKK photo ended up on his own personal yearbook page.//
That little tract fails to mention that it may be some "days" after birth before the baby is terminated

ok thanks for a minute their I thought it was talking about healthy babies.
Virginia was a slave state from 1619 - that's about 240 years with slaves, 150 years without - so perhaps people are a little more sensitive about the subject than on AB.
What site do we not like that you can't quote your source Togo? If you don't quote a source it's worthless, and often if you do granted, but seriously no source quote?
isn't world news exciting
//ok thanks for a minute their I thought it was talking about healthy babies./

The proposed legislation makes no mention of the healthy, or otherwise, condition of babies...……...just the wishes of the mothers. Only the non enforceable rhetoric in it's defence does that.
I can't see why abortion, neonatal care and blackface are being discussed together.
//It’s the state of Virginia in the US and they are deflecting (falling on thier swords) to take the spotlight off late term abortion and legalised infanticide.//sic

Read that line again from Cassa...…...it is absolutely spot on.
What's the source of your post Togo please? (2nd ask)
