ME Gov. LePage makes racially charged comment at Bridgton meeting

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Why all US policitians of Canadian ancestry are pretty much awful?

I'm so sorry than his family left Quebec at some point (his grandfather is from Rimouski).

Tbf he would probably be leader of PQ by now if he had stayed in his homeland.

Doubt it, nominations in that area of Quebec are pretty much controlled by unions.

I doubt he has a pro-union record.

I'm going to bet over 80% of drug dealers in Maine are white.

They more than likely are, but there are a lot of drug dealers that probably come out of state, I don't really care if there white or black it doesn't matter they are drug dealers.

If you were a successful drug dealer in New York or Connecticut, why would you go out of your way to reach a place with a smaller, more rural population with fewer customers and zero personal connections?  That literally makes no sense whatsoever.  I'll give you a hint: Maine's drug dealers live in Maine.

probably a lot from NH too.

A lot of them might be coming from Vermont too. Those Green Mountain State niggas are a shifty lot.

I chuckled when I read this.

As someone who lives in an extremely white area that also has a massive meth problem, I can confirm that there are MANY white drug dealers. Plenty of them are racist hicks who would probably vote LePage in fact!

Maybe LePage was referring to out of state white drug dealers impregnating young white women. Hey, anything is possible.

I'm going to assume that you're not joking. There are actually people of different ethnicities that are into hip hop and street culture and would adopt the nicknames that Paul LePage mentioned.

I didn't think LePage's comment was necessarily racist until he mentioned white girls.

Is it any surprise that a lot of white conservative men are screwed up when it comes to their fear of black people (especially black men), their sick obsession with their daughters' sexuality, and when the two cross?

LePage's views are not unusual at all. Hell, even my white dad says some nasty stuff about blacks, and I've heard plenty of these kinds of things at work.

How could he say stuff like this but have a black adopted son? How awkward.

Awkward, yes. But this cognitive dissonance usually comes about because LePage knows his son, and knows his son is a "good" one, but any random black stranger on the street is suspect and to be feared.

It's probably resonating subconsciously from literally the mitochondrial level. Caucasian DNA is arguably the weakest and most recessive in terms of physical characteristics, and males in general are the more insecure of the sexes when it comes to anything sexual in nature (look at most species in nature: the females decide with whom to breed and males are often forced to "show off" or compete). Add to this the fact that black men are considered to be "bigger" and that African DNA is very dominant in terms of physical manifestation, and of course genetically-insecure white males are going to freak out about "their" females "interacting" with black males.

The combination is enough to send many a white male into total meltdown. They're literally being bred out of existence and emasculated simultaneously through such an occurrence.

I honestly thought he was talking about Italians until I got to the part about "impregnating white girls". Shows you where my prejudices lie

You have a problem with us guidos bro?

Yes, see Jersey Shore

Safe assumption, with the only risk of error being understatement. The worst thing that any drug dealer could do is to not fit into the ethnic mix. It is more likely that white dopers travel from Maine to visit black or Hispanic drug traffickers in Boston and then return with their poison than that black or Hispanic drug traffickers go to Maine where they would never be confused with black or Hispanic middle-class tourists visiting Maine for coastal scenery or lobster dinners.

You realize there isn't such a thing as "Caucasian" or "African" DNA, right?  Just checking.

My question is if you are that clueless about American culture why do you have a constant need to comment on it?  Only complete idiots and racists would say he was referring to anything other than black men with or without the "white girls" reference.  I refrain from commenting on the nuances of Canadian culture/politics.  I wish the same courtesy was paid to us.

He could have made his point without the white girls bit.

That was his point.

Lepage has not adopted a black son.  He might have lied and said he did in a vain attempt to save his butt.  That story I could believe.

Pseudo scientific and racist bullsh**t

Let's take USA's most famous biracial person and compare him to his nearest male relatives





Obama clearly look more like his grandfather than his father, his facial structure, his physical traits, even his skin colour are closer to his grandfather than father.

But because of how USA set a social structure for race, where all people with visible subsaharan traits are put into the same arbitary category, you people become unable to see the rather obvious truth, biracial people in general look like a mix between their parents. There's a reason that many foreigners who live in cultures where the racial categories are different don't really see Obama as a Black man, you more or less need to be American to see him as that.

Oh hello. I see from your posting history that you are a jackass. Well, I'm too old for that nonsense. Ignored.

I think it would have to be a pretty ironclad and damning case to get Republicans in the State Senate to sign off on impeaching their own Republican governor. Maybe it will work out if Democrats can win back the State Senate this year, though.

Democrats are, in my opinion, likely to get back some seats they lost in the wave last year, and they have a good chance of retaking the chamber. However, even that may not be enough: they'll need 24 votes of 35 to convict.

On the same day that LePage complained about people with names like D-Money, Smoothie and Shifty selling heroin in his state, the Maine DEA arrested three individuals named James Millay, Jody Daniello and Donna Johnson for dealing heroin in his state:

Well aren't they just great specimens of whiteness?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'd love to see Daniello or Johnson 'impregnate a white girl'. It'd be a very Simoun twist to this whole fiasco.

The one in the middle looks like he could be Smoothie.  On the left is Shifty. Which leaves the woman on the right as D-Money.

I kind of wish that three guys would pose as heroin dealers named "Shifty", "Smoothie", and "D-Money" and try to "sell" some fake heroin to Paul LePage as a big joke.
