What if he portrayed a prison guard at Auschwitz and the person next to him wore a concentration camp uniform replete with a yellow star?

His alleged offenses took place decades ago.

Northam should resign immediately.

Dumb old nobody me would have known back in the 80's that blackface and KKK dress up wasn't fucking funny in any way, shape or form so Northam should do the right thing now and step down IMO.

That was 1984 and he should've known better. A totally stupid thing to do. Resign now.
