Of course you're going to find black face in a 1960s-70s yearbook. It was common to even see it on TV during that time.

I hold elected officials and certain others to higher standards, so I will take their pasts into consideration when making judgments about them. It was wrong to do it, and I'd hope that their good judgment would steer them away from it.

But I'm not going to be outraged that some frat at UNC or UMD took blackface photos. That's what they do.
