REPORT: Northam’s Wife Handed Cotton To Black Students, Asked Them To Imagine Being Slaves

DC: Virginia first lady Pam Northam is under fire for allegedly handing cotton to African American students during a recent tour of the governor’s mansion, according to a report from The Washington Post.

A state employee complained that the wife of embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam reportedly handed the students cotton and asked them “if they could imagine what it must have been like to pick cotton all day.”

Leah Dozier Walker, an official in the state Department of Education, said that the incident demonstrates that the Northams have not learned from past actions.

“The Governor and Mrs. Northam have asked the residents of the Commonwealth to forgive them for their racially insensitive past actions,” Walker said. “But the actions of Mrs. Northam, just last week, do not lead me to believe that this Governor’s office has taken seriously the harm and hurt they have caused African Americans in Virginia or that they are deserving of our forgiveness.”  more here

  1. First, there isn’t sufficient information. But I am going to go out on a limb and guess that she handed cotton to all children, of a variety of ethnicities. If that is the case then those blowing the whistle are the racists.
    Or maybe she targeted black kids. Insufficient info.

  2. The cotton was bad enough, but to play “hide in the wood pile”, and, “can you drink 2/5ths”, or sing “moonwalking at night in Georgia” well, that was over the top.
    Why is this negro and clansman still in the Goobernor’s mansion?

  3. 27 of 28 days of blackface history month are behind us here in Virginia.
    Maybe I can nap through tomorrow and miss the rest. At the end of the month
    we’ll still have our pediatrician Governor who endorses infanticide, a lt gov who is a serial sex offender who hasn’t been held to account; and AG blackface Herring, who smells like fish.

    Virginia’s media, if it weren’t a political arm of the democrat party, could have revealed all of this to the voters prior to this debacle. But they chose not to.

  4. PHenry, thanks sincerely for pointing that out..
    Relief, just like after Lent I can go back to eating collude greens on chicken neck Hot Dogs.
    During the past month of reflection of cultural contributions, I am looking forward to PBS almost getting back to regular programming without the reruns of What’s Happenin’, The Fresh Prince and Urkle.

  5. Did she wear her hood?

    I’m telling you, SHE is next to her blackface fiance in the Klan getup. Trust me, or prove me wrong. I’m serious.

    Read the yearbook photo caption. Someone is eventually going to break the Code of Silence.

  6. I say we go one step further: elective credits for “Slave Summer Camp”. Afro American students can go to an actual democrat southern plantation and pick cotton for 12 hours a day, six days a week all summer! They can live in shacks without electricity, running water, air conditioning and of course cell phones. They can get new names like ‘Coon Henry’ and ‘That High Yellow Bitch’. And all the corn meal, lard and collards you can eat before sunup.

    When they return to school in the fall, they can all share essays on there experience with the local BLM chapter and ‘knee trackers’ on the high school football team. Should be interesting for all.

  7. The delicious irony was Pam standing next to Northam at the (elevated) podium for the press conference. The irony was that they were out of costume.

    Think about how easy it would have been for the two “strangers” in the beer photo to come forward and clear Northam’s name.

    Truth has died all across America.
