On top of that I don't think he is right anyway because drug use (meth, syringes, etc) is more commonly consumed with white people than with other races. Our society (including other industrialized countries) is such a funny species. It's a good time to sit back and laugh at the shortcomings we have as people.
For those questioning whether or not LePage's comment was racist, consider that 99% of the young girls in Maine are White, so stating the obvious was done to make a point that in his mind Black guys should not be fucking White girls.
Heroin abuse has spiked in the last decade among whites in places like Maine where there aren't any black people, yet black people are somehow still to blame according to Republicans. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/crack-heroin-and-race/401015/
You know, I have just realized something. Maybe the prerogative for his tirade is because of how easily available interracial oriented porn is between black men and white women. Anybody can go on there to view it and download it and that's not appropriate for everyone to see. As a matter of fact, BM/WW aren't even the most frequent viewers of their own porn. White men are actually the largest consumers of it.
I heard this story last week. I don't think his comments were focused on drugs. It was code tallk for "The Others". I think what is happening in Maine is there is a growing number of non-whites migrating there. He stated that he submitted a new bill to enforce his view. I think he wants to create a element of fear toward non-whites to keep them from moving there. Make them think that if they move there, they will be threaten with harassment by the law.
LOL. You know that. I bet some of the most bigoted White folk have a secret love/hate thing with IR porn.
A response to the Gov. "Last week the governor in Maine, my state, suggested to the world that if one were to see me (the white girl) and my daughter (the biracial girl) walking down the street, that she is a product of my involvement with a drug dealer from out of state. And even worse, that she wasn't wanted," Edwards wrote. "Things he says don't usually get under my skin, but these words were cruel, infuriating, insulting, and full of hate and should not be tolerated." "I have a Masters degree and an excellent job in health care. My daughter's father (the black guy) is... wait for it... my husband," Edwards continued. "Even more crazy, he's not a drug dealer! He's a well educated man with an excellent job in education, in fact. And our daughter was so wanted."
Some progress has been made recently regarding impeachment for the governor. The reasons for politicians trying to mount an impeachment are unrelated to the topic, it's based on corruption and abuse of power. It will be somewhat difficult to flush him out of there.
