As an African American, I will never trust someone who wore blackface at 25 to look out for my best interests. Yes we have racist in the highest office of the land but he gets away with it because Dems don't call him out about it enough.

Northam should resign. BUT, within the next hour hour Dems should hold a press conference reading every racist statement tweeted or made by Trump and ask their republican counterparts if he should remain in office. Better yet, they should given a power point of his racist and vile tweets.
