4. Oh, Oh, Oh, Like There Never Was An Afro-American Governor Of Virginia

But wait a minute, there WAS an Afro-American Governor of Virginia—Douglas Wilder. Not during Reconstruction, not during the heady days of the Civil Rights era, but in the early 1990’s. And, Divine Providence smiling and the oligarchs thwarted in their efforts to undermine the popular vote, there will be another one.

Purists whining about Northam not resigning immediately should grow up. Stamping their feet and holding their breath until their faces turn blue really doesn’t become them.
