Am I the only one who thinks @RalphNortham shouldn't resign?

If this is truly a case of a single really bad yearbook photo followed by a career devoid of any hints of racism, I think resigning is the easy way out.

Stick with me here...

@RalphNortham I think the penalty is hard labor; spend the rest of your term ferreting out racial injustices systematically present in your state. Fix disparities in education, criminal justice, any innocuous seeming policy that isn't.

I'd want restorative justice that repairs wrongs.

@RalphNortham I'm tired of the solution being go away. I want people to have to contribute to fixing our broken system. An apology is not sufficient, earn your redemption.

Redemption *should* be available with consistent, apparent, productive efforts by doing the actual work of restitution.

@RalphNortham To be clear, this philosophy does not apply to those beyond redemption, actively involved in current racist, sexist, etc acts...they can go kick rocks in solitude ostracized from society.
