Pop Quiz: Who would be the first person to jump up and down and demand resignation and public burning of a Republican/Conservative photographed in blackface?

If you answered, Joy Behar, it would be hard to disagree with you.

In the wake of both the Democratic Governor and Attorney General of Virginia embroiled in blackface photo controversy, Joy Behar's “African Woman” photo has resurfaced.

In a clip that was shared by Jon Levine of The Wrap, Behar is seen showing a picture of herself with curly hair when she was 29.  Former host Raven-Symone joked with Behar in the clip asking, "Are you black? Are you my auntie?"

Behar went on to explain that the picture was taken at a Halloween party and that she "wore makeup a little bit darker" than her skin.

WHAT?!

What's good for the goose...

Why hasn't Joy Behar offered to step down and leave our consciousness forever?  Is being in blackface okay for her?  It's either right or it's wrong.

To me it's like being a "little pregnant."  There's no such thing.  You either are, or you aren't.
