The Governor of Maine, when asked about why he refused multiple invitations to MLK day events, told the black community they could "kiss my butt".

I'm so embarrassed.

If the straight white male is one of our countrys most influential human rights activist, I'd go too.

This isn't about special interests as the gov seemed to want to make it. It's about a public display of respect for one of our country's heroes.

rdmcandie Those days already exist. But you may know them by the names of Washington's Birthday (President's Day) and Columbus Day.
Glad to educate you on that fact. (Unless you can prove they are gay.)

Columbus was gay, for sure. Unless we're following prison rules.

Wouldn't have been a hero if you didn't treat blacks like **** for 200 hundred years. Just saying.

I know it's fanciful thinking, but if I'd been around for the last 200 years, I like to imagine I was anti-slavery for the full duration.

Well, it's true. Sometimes you do have to cut one open and crawl inside of it to stay warm.

Caribou and muskoxen make for a terrible burger.


Also, as a Canadian white male over 18, I'm still the majority. And quite frankly, I don't care who they give a holiday to, so long as I get to enjoy the benefits of it as well.

True but you wouldn't really be celebrating Independence day itself as a day if it wasn't for the french. If they didn't shut England down at sea you would be a Commonwealth nation just like Canada.

I doubt that. Americans are a contrary lot and would have just tried it again later on.

we already had the brits where we wanted them by the time the slow *** french finally set up their blockades.

Also, I think that debt has been paid back 100 fold thanks to WW2 alone.

So we should celebrate the French, but not MLK? Or both? Or neither?

Fuck that.

Just two little overlooked facts:

1) Allegedly he said the NAACP could kiss his butt, not 'the black comunity.'
2) The guy has an adopted black son.

Exactly. Elinda, you have nothing to be embarrased about. In fact, I would be proud of this guy. He clearly stated WHY he refused the NAACP's request: 1) They are a special interest. and 2) There's only so many hours in a day.

Here's something interesting from that video. Consider these facts:

1) This man adopted a black child.

2) The NAACP had invited him to visit black inmates at a prison. When he said that he would go but visit ALL inmates (regardless of color), the NAACP was not satisfied with that. They wanted him to visit ONLY black inmates.

Question: Who's actions qualify as racist? His, or the NAACP's? Think about that for a minute.

Think about what? No one accused him of being racist. He's a governor. In a public interview he told the NAACP they could kiss his ***. Having an adopted son from Jamaica is irrelevant.

It's just plain ignorant.

Edit - Haha, this mornings local paper....Lepage joins rally against abortion. So much for not catering to special interest groups eh.

Some other Lepage goodies HERE.
