Critics: Ralph Northam can't possibly come up with another way to explain himself out of the yearbook mess. The embattled Virginia governor says he's certain he's not one of the two men shown in a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook -- because the men in the photo are holding beers in their right hands while he’s left-handed. Northam reportedly told his staff that the photo struck him as odd because, while attending the medical school, he particularly had trouble using his right hand and even struggled to use a scalpel with it. He claimed that his left hand is his dominant hand and pointed out that another picture in the yearbook shows him holding a beer with his left hand. The books include the 1976 Alex Haley novel “Roots” in addition to the Ta-Nehisi Coates 2014 essay “The Case for Reparations."
