Poor Ralph Northam. He must be THE unluckiest guy on earth

First, his friends give him a nickname which he is powerless to separate himself from. Then someone either forced him to include that nickname on his VMI yearbook page or they put it on themselves completely unbeknownst to him.

And THEN someone dressed him up in a straw hat, eyeglasses, a bowtie, sportcoat and plaid pants and smeared black shoes polish on his face and hands, told him he looked just like Michael Jackson and then tricked him into going to a "Black Entertainers and Friendly Ghosts We Respect and Admire" party and, without his knowledge, took a picture next to a guy he thought was umpersonating Casper the Friendly Ghost.

And to make it worse, they put that picture on his yearbook page and then his all copies of his yearbook so he would never know.

And then, after he spent the next 35 years not doing racist things (at least not that we know of yet), somebody released that picture! And then, instead of praising him and giving him extra credit for not being racist in the last 35 years (at least as far as we know), people are trying to destroy his life by making him not be governor any more.

Poor Ralph. He just can't catch a break.

This is Kafkaesque.
