Yes, the photo of Gov Northam is a form of racism that’s ugly & grotesque. But the worst racism is policy & structural racism.
Some are calling for the governer to resign & that’s their right. I don’t know what the Gov has done over the years in word, deed & policy to make amends for his past.
But if you call for him to resign, then those who have supported racist voter suppression & blocked restoring the VRA should resign as well.
Those who’ve supported racist immigration laws & walls at the border & the racist separation of families & children should resign now. We can’t punish the cultural symbols & ignore the policy violence.
