Racist Virginia Democrat governor Ralph Northam, known as “Coonman” in his medical school days is about to get some bad news. A law firm has completed its investigation into how a racist photo got into the Eastern Virginia Medical School 1984 yearbook and plans to announce their finding tomorrow. This is good news for accused sexual assaulter Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax, another Democrat. So scared is “Coonman” Northam that his office declined to comment.

The medical school in Norfolk hired the law firm McGuireWoods, which is also a top lobbying firm, to conduct an independent investigation.
Virginia politics was turned upside down in a matter of hours in early February after a conservative website posted a picture online of Northam’s medical school yearbook page. The Democratic governor issued two apologies within hours, initially indicating that he was one of the people in the picture. By midnight it appeared his entire political base was gone, with the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, other key Democratic groups and top allies calling on him to resign.
Northam reversed course at a news conference the next day, saying he was convinced it was not him in the picture, while revealing that he did in fact wear blackface once decades ago, to look like Michael Jackson for a dance contest. Defying calls to resign, he said he wanted to focus his remaining three years in office on addressing longstanding racial inequities. While he was all but invisible in February and much of March, the governor is making routine public appearances again.
