Mom Becca Edwards is "pissed" about a racist remark that her state's governor made, and she's calling him out on it, offering her own biracial family as an example of how very wrong he is.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage issued his offensive comment at a town hall meeting in Bridgton on Jan. 6 while speaking about the influx of heroin in the Pine Tree State. "These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty -- these types of guys -- they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home," the Republican blasted.
"Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road."
Though the crowd at the town meeting didn't immediately react, social media's response was swift -- and seething. The Portland Press Herald reports that Marlon Marshall, Hillary Clinton's director of state campaigns and political engagement, issued a statement calling LePage's comments "racist rants," while Maine Democratic Party Chairman Phil Bartlett dubbed them "outrageous" and Michael Tyler, the Democratic National Committee's director of African-American media, declared them "disgusting."
But in Edwards's now-viral Facebook response, the self-described "white girl in Maine," took it one step further and called for LePage's ouster. "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," wrote the mother in her Jan. 9 post, which has been shared more than 216,000 times in just two days.

I look at it like this...God loves all children - biracial or not.
Knew a older woman hwo moved to a white area, she was rich. She searched and searched for a black family and then found one in the town.
First thing she did was to set up a play date and get to know this family. Course she never talked to her next door neighbors.
As for Facebook etc, well you hit the nail on the head.
They see a homosexual person, two homosexuals who state they are dating, different race couple and all the comments of “ you look great”, “ What a nice looking couple”
These people are sick in the head and show their ignorance evertime they make these comments.
Beautiful. God loves all of them.
I absolutely agree with you! But the Governor’s point (poorly expressed) was males are coming into Maine and spreading their sperm around, leaving and not accepting responsibility for what they’ve done.
More than likely.
Maine moonbats' latest crusade is impeaching Gov. Paul LePage because he's a conservative poopyhead. The heroine of the story thinks that his removal from office is called for, as dictated by her hive.
How do people who cannot think before they speak get into positions of power?
Don’t know.
On election day way back in 2008 a friend of mine was working at an upscale grocery store in Boston. She was stocking shelves late in the afternoon and her shift took her close to closing time.
Her entire shift white dingbats kept smiling at her, giving her the thumbs up and she had no idea what was going on.
Finally it hit her - and she got more than a little pissed off.
” You think I voted for him - don't you? You think because he's black and I'm black I voted for him?! I didn't vote for him! “
She was giving both barrels to these idiots whenever they started the “ white guilt such a good liberal atoning for my sins “ pantomime.
The reactions were hilarious. These people either started sputtering about why she should have, or apologized or just quickly walked away.
For a few days after the election, clueless whites kept asking her about how proud she must be, how they voted for Obama and how proud they were to do so. Same reaction as she had to tell all of them she did not and would never vote for the man.
wasn’t around Beacon Hill was it?
I assume there because of the many white guilt fools who live in that area.
“Nothing pisses off a democrat (progressive, socialist, communist) like the truth.”
So true!
- not too far from there!
But they are everywhere in that town. Mostly in the more affluent neighborhoods and man, the numbers of white guilt liberal women boggles the mind.
By far the more perpetually offended, militant of the two genders.
Edwards -- who didn't respond to Yahoo Parenting's request for comment -- revealed that she has a master's degree and "an excellent job in health care," and that her "daughter's father (the black guy) is....wait for it...my husband!" "Even more crazy," she continues, "he's not a drug dealer! What?!? He's a well-educated man with an excellent job in education, in fact. And our daughter, was so wanted. Do me a favor and share this status to show the world what the picture of a biracial family in Maine really looks like, and that we do not support the ignorant (expletive) that is our governor.
Beautiful family.
“The truth can be painful and offensive, but....its the truth.”
Which is the reason why liberals hate the truth. They are all about emotions rather than facts.
I saw a thread where she was arguing with others constantly and someone posted her words how she supported or supports Clinton or how Clinton was good.
______________________________________
I saw that too. There was an actual link to her pro-Bill Clinton remarks.
And her viewpoints on this thread are iffy as well.
Just saying.
The Gov shouldn't have made such a blanket statement.
But there is no denying the problems exist all over the country, mostly in the Black Urban communities.
Escaping those hell-holes is the 1st step at a productive life.
You pinged me to this thread, bonehead.
What did you suppose would be the outcome of that?
I will not be responding to the content of any of your posts to me, either now or in the future. If you continue to post to me, some on Free Republic may conclude that you are a stalker.
Now that’s funny! Your date was looking for Snoop Dog and got Ben Carson!
