A politician posed in blackface back in the ’80’s; either
that or he dressed as the Klansman next to the person in blackface—he can’t
remember which. Or if he even did it. His memory is apparently very, very fuzzy.
It was a crappy Halloween joke, and people are upset now that
it’s been discovered. It’s chilling that anyone could dress as a Klansman at any
age and think it was a joke.
He may have evolved as a person (bad memory notwithstanding),
or he may not have. He apparently did enough good things to get elected
governor, but people want him to resign.
A few years back, Britain’s Prince Harry dressed up as a
Nazi for Halloween. Considering all the ways the Nazis harmed Britain—as a country,
and as the individuals who suffered the effects of the War; and considering
that he comes from the ruling family of Britain…it seems incredible that he
could have been so insulated from the effects of the Nazis to think that any
sort of costume like that would be acceptable. He was excoriated; but now
people have moved on and think he’s A-OK.
They were both jerks in the past. The question I would consider when deciding their fates is,
Are they
making life better or worse for their countries now?
