WHERE'S GENERAL SHERMAN WHEN WE NEED HIM?:
Virginia AG says he too wore blackface as leadership scandal deepens (Gary Robertson, 2/06/19, Reuters)
Virginia Attorney General Mark] Herring said he now realized he showed poor judgment and caused pain to others by dressing as a rapper, donning a wig and brown makeup to perform a song with similarly attired friends."I had a callous and inexcusable lack of awareness and insensitivity to the pain my behavior could inflict on others," Herring said in his statement. "It was really a minimization of both people of color and a minimization of a horrific history I knew well even then."
