Governor Ivey Apologizes For College Black Face Incident

“I have now been made aware of a taped interview that my then-fiance, Ben LaRavia, and I gave to the Auburn student radio station back when I was SGA Vice President.
“Even after listening to the tape, I sincerely do not recall either the skit, which evidently occurred at a Baptist Student Union party, or the interview itself, both which occurred 52-years ago. Even though Ben is the one on tape remembering the skit – and I still don’t recall ever dressing up in overalls or in blackface – I will not deny what is the obvious.
“As such, I fully acknowledge – with genuine remorse – my participation in a skit like that back when I was a senior in college.
“While some may attempt to excuse this as acceptable behavior for a college student during the mid-1960s, that is not who I am today, and it is not what my Administration represents all these years later.
“I offer my heartfelt apologies for the pain and embarrassment this causes, and I will do all I can – going forward – to help show the nation that the Alabama of today is a far cry from the Alabama of the 1960s. We have come a long way, for sure, but we still have a long way to go.”

Last February, Ivey was quoted by WCYB TV in a story about the Governor of Tennessee wearing a Confederate uniform in a fraternity event:

"Ivey said "there is no place" for blackface and that she had never worn it. When asked if she had ever made a remark perceived as racially insensitive, she replied that she hoped she had not."

NOTE: As of 3:15PM, neither the Governor's written nor videotaped statement had been posted on her state website where her press releases and statements are normally seen.

Question: if you had ever put on "blackface", don't you think you would remember doing so? Especially as each and every controversy about blackface was in headlines in the decades that followed? Yet Governor Ivey says she doesn't remember it. 
     I'm not sure which is more damaging. That she apparently did it. Or that she apparently did it and didn't think anything of it to the point that she forgot it.
