Maine governor: Drug dealers named 'D-Money' come to my state to sell heroin and impregnate 'young,

[FordLord]

As a Mainer, my Facebook has several large posts from biracial couples claiming the speach was racist towards black men, despite the only mention of race being white girls.
I lived in far northern Maine, usually when either a druggy or drug dealer moved in with a name like 'D-Money', 'E-Dawg', 'Swifty', etc. he was a scrawny white guy named Donnie, Ethan, or Shawn, etc.

It's rare to see a Black person travel there to sell drugs, usually white from what I have seen. Either way, I see no reason to drag race into it when it's not about race to begin with

Gotta get mad about something, so why not add connotations to a statement that were not included in it at all - its all the rage nowadays!

As a resident of Maine, I hate a good 80% of people here and I hate living here. Unintelligent, unmotivated, and anti-social people are everywhere here and it sucks.

I think white drug dealers have a strong potential market here with low-risk investment :v:

This isn't the first time he's said something like this and it won't be that last.

I'm a little surprised at how many other people from Maine post here.

Having lived in the middle of nowhere for the past ~15 years: I didn't even know my state had a drug problem until like a week ago.

American voters are pretty dumb, generally speaking.[/QUOTE]

Not quite how it works. Congress has a low approval rating, but everyone's individual congressmen/congresswoman has a high approval rating in their respective places. It's because they bring jobs in locally and constantly approve stuff that helps local politics, but they often fumble when it comes to national politics.

You can do what you want on your own turf as a politician, but when you get to national politics you better toe the line in your respective party or you can get ostracized.

The two-party system has it's flaws.

It's odd. The news here is almost 24/7 controversial/absurd/stupid things LePage says yet he still got elected twice.
