    Sounds like fun. He forgot to add Alien to the list of D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty.

    I think he's eyeing a VP spot with Trump.

    Would that sentence carry the same weight if he simply said girls instead of white girls?

    The speaker's racial implication regarding both dealers and citizens is overt and obvious, so speculating on the audience's inference is a little misaligned.

    There isn't much to discuss.

    Maine is almost all white.

    The Governor doesn't want urban blacks selling drugs to the white people in Maine and impregnating young white women in Maine and not supporting their off spring.

    I am pretty sure no one wants this, I sure don't.

    The Governor should start severely punishing those whites that but drugs from out of state blacks and implore his white citizens to stop raising girls that want to have unprotected sex with drug dealers.

    You guys immediately jumped on the politically correct bandwagon without even asking one simple question...


    Is it true?


    Sometimes the truth isn't politically correct.


    Now, if this guy is just making stuff up, then you can tear him to shreds.

    The problem with that.....the LARGE majority of people being arrested in Maine for dealing are WHITE.

    It is not even close.

    I will revise.......they do have a problem with out of state dealers because of the profit margins. However, to blame all your problem on out of state dealers.......is the problem. Dealers wouldn't come there if there was no demand.

    I'm sure it is true, but that doesn't make the quote less problematic. The problem is not that he maligned or defamed someone, or admitted an uncomfortable truth, or misled anyone. The problem is that when he threw 'white' in there, he showed where his heart was. It makes it sound like his priority is to protect white people from black people. That he sees black people as predators and enemies. I don't know if we want to just disregard that he has shown a hostile attitude toward blacks because of some contempt for political correctness. I don't see it as an issue of political correctness. I just don't appreciate the combative stance he takes toward his black constituency.

    Anyway, I think its unfortunate that he threw 'white' in there because the problem he's talking about is real. I wish him the best in addressing Maine's drug problem. The Clinton response though was like a monosynaptic reflex -- a Republican somewhere committed a fumble; quick, get on twitter and siphon off some of his publicity!

    It isn't about "political correctness." It is racism.

    It is telling that the Republican governor is blaming white people's problem with drugs and dead-beat dads on "out of state blacks" when it is mostly the 94% of white Maine citizens buying and selling the drugs and not paying child support.

    A lot of white Republicans like to blame their own problems on other people.

    It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The way he worded his statement clearly shows where his feelings truly lie. LePage is not fond of black people, period.

    All he had to do was leave out the "D-Money, Smoothie and Shifty" stuff and the "white"...and there would be no controversy with his comments.

    LePage clarified his statement to make clear that, yeah, he was talking about black drug dealers.
