It's hard to imagine in 2017, but there's a major issue of racism in the Virginia governor's election. Democrat candidate Ralph Northam changed some of his election materials to drop both the picture and any mention of the Democrat running for Lieutenant Governor, Justin Fairfax, who happens to be African American. According to reports, Democrat Northam dropped the black man off his materials because some of his campaign supporters said that they didn't want to distribute materials that mentioned him. Shown below is a picter of the original materials (on the left) and the revised materials in which the Democrats dropped mention of their African American candidate for Lieutenant Governor. This is the kind of stuff we would have expected of the racist/segregationist Democrats of the 1960s and 1970s. Today, however, this behavior is unacceptable. Northam and his party should be ashamed of their conduct.
