Should the Democratic Gov From VA-Ralph Northam Resign?

Same difference bro. Both had "allegations".

One has a calendar, the others don’t.

One has a calendar, the others don’t.

One wants an FBI investigation, the other did not.

Now think what it is that you're saying. A nominee to the Supreme Court, who's been on the next lower court for 12 years, is going before the Senate Judicial committee before facing the entire chamber's vote, is looking to get confirmed but the administration that nominated him is keeping thousands of documents concerning him from being reviewed. Really?

You're telling me that the Democrats on the committee, who hate Trump with a vengeance, were saying Kavanaugh raped a number of girls but they weren't screaming about not having access to his rulings? That the newspapers and tv outlets weren't screaming about it either?

Yes.
It's a fact.
Glad you're caught up now.

Yes.
It's a fact.
Glad you're caught up now.

You're shooting blanks again.

Gayle King corrects Northam for referring to slaves as ‘indentured servants’

"CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King corrected Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) after he referred to slaves as "indentured servants."

The comment came in Northam's first televised interview since he began facing calls to resign over a blackface scandal, in which he urged healing.

"We are now at the 400-year anniversary - just 90 miles from here in 1619. The first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort, what we call now Fort Monroe, and while-," Northam said, before King cut him off.

"Also known as slavery," King said.

"Yes," Northam responded.”

I'm surprised you deny verifiable facts.
That's ordinary behavior for MAGAts.

Except she was wrong. The first Africans who came to America in 1619 WERE indentured servants, according to PBS.

Good post. Hope Northam clarifies with that info.

Sorry @Operational needs , they were slaves. PBS did not go into much detail about those first Africans and their life of captivity, brought to the Americas and ultimately into slavery.

Seems to me that PBS is saying there were no laws officially sanctioning slavery prior to 1641/61 so slavery hadn't occurred before then, and Historic Jamestowne is saying slavery was definitely happening prior to the passage of those same laws.

Have a feeling PBS is the incorrect party, between the two.

More like PBS didn't do their research. They may have not been " legally" called slaves but no doubt they were slaves.

Either way Northam should have known better. The guy is a disaster.

I think it depends on the source. Some are vague.

I know you want to argue semantics @Operational needs but you just can't accept the fact that they were brought to the Americas as slaves and bought by the English settlers as Slaves and treated as slaves.

Or you can’t accept the fact they were first indentured servants and eventually became slaves.

So you believe these Africans who were brought to the Americas by the Spanish as slaves and bought by English settlers as slaves signed an indentured servitude contract?

I believe it’s possible.

How can slaves taken from Africa and bought by English settlers be indentured servants?

I believe it’s possible.

Right.......
