Pretty damn evil to tell an innocent kid “I want you to imagine how horrible life as a slave is! And remember that’s how we treated your ancestors! Think about it, and have some cotton.”
WTF

  That’s how her and Ralphie fell in love, a classic American romantic comedy that will win Best Picture next year at the Oscars.

“The first lady’s intent was to show the horrors of slavery and to make sure everyone felt the pain they felt in some small measure,”
Something black children in America obviously don’t have to deal with every single moment of their lives.

  On the next tour, is she going to pull out the whip, to make sure they really know the pain? Maybe she can pull out some shackles. Hey, let’s pretend to lynch someone to show how difficult it really was!

  Rich white woman, to black children: “imagine the horrors that rich white folks inflicted on black slaves and somehow, not think of shit white folks do to black folks today!”

There’s a book that came out recently about how vicious white female slave owners were. Seems apropos in these times.

“I regret that I have upset anyone,” Northam said, in a statement emailed by spokeswoman Ofirah Yheskel.
And we aren’t racist because, behind me, is standing a black woman from Birmingham and do you think she’d work for a racist?

Ya know, it probably would have been a little less racist if she had just let her husband do the Moonwalk.
Nah, who am I kidding? The thing is, I’m sure neither one of them are straight up evil people, just white people who don’t quite get it. You know the expression “Minnesota nice”? The Northams are just “Virginia woke”.

Jesus the optics alone. I am sure she did as described - handed the cotton to the nearest student - but FFS the optics of the situation are just... have a little more sense than that! Your husband is in trouble because of racially insensitive idiocy, way to compound that with your own!
