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.

So I see you apparently think a FReeper needs to tone down otherwise some disparaging conclusion can be drawn about personal observation.
Okay then. Please read the below excerpt and tell me just how it compares with Becca Edwards’ situation in any way other than race? The only commonality between Becca’s family and the subject of the governor’s comments is racial. That is the only issue she, and apparently some FReepers, can see.
-Does her husband live in CT or NY? No.
-Is her husband a drug dealer? No.
-Is she raising the children without support from their father? No.
-Are her children having to be supported by the State? No.
-Are her children bi-racial? Yes.
All aspects of her husband and her children are moot to her other than their race. She’s a race-hustler on the level of Rachel Dolzal.

I am deeply saddened by this unfortunate circumstance.
Clearly we are all the poorer for it.

The conclusions of others do not interest me, only your opinions matter to me.
this is an outstanding potboiler! please know, however, no offense or bias is directed to either the pot or the boiler.
haha
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.
The odds are pretty good that a White Girl gets pregnant in Lilly White Maine.

Throw a rock into a pack of dogs...
Ditto for Red Hampshire. The line used on naive white girls is "Why won't you go out with me? You racist, or something?" Politcal correctness syndrome kicks in, and nine months later...
...or worse, a few months later at Planned Parenthood.
That sums it up really, you are spot on.
I believe that is exactly what he meant...
I'd post that picture of the crowd applauding, but I haz no HTML skillz.
a thread of platitudes canards and naivete
Stats in this world do not lie about where most problems lie
Maine is just another naive Yankee state about race beating itself up rather than facing truths
Imagine I gloat on about the beauty of that pure white child with her beautiful skin and blue eyes and thick blonde hair
A non mixed child isn’t she lovely Gods creature and all
It’s not the same is it?
Diversity is killing the white developed world and people are going to find out how it goes for them from here to Eastern Europe
Muslims and out of control fatherless blacks and Amerindians Hispanic from gangs no different in brutality than Isis streaming across open borders are all disastrous
Who’s going to be the new top dog culturally?
Asians?
Let’s see how people of color enjoy their magnanimity
Or whites could wake up and grow a spine and quit Merkling
And we’d all be better off
You know you set this up as a bait thread
Why
Why do people do this here....it belies why you are here
But don’t fret plenty will trot out white guilt enough to satisfy
What this guy said is real and its ubiquitous in the white trash south
It’s not a good thing
Thug culture and endemic illegitimacy spreading is not something conservative forums endorse
Or shouldn’t
Check the NBA or the NFL.
This is a bait thread HG
To admonish us as racists
They find an exceptional mixed race family to trot out and attempt to disprove what is the reality 95% of the time
A knocked up white girl with no husband and a slew of mixed kids
He comes around for some tang and cash and she drives him around
And she’s a fat sloven pig
I see this every day in Nashville poorer white areas
Just like Maine but more of it
That Starbucks family pic is the rare exception of mixed race sex down here I can tell you
“Blessed is me, when men shall revile me, and persecute me and shall say all manner of evil against me falsely, for My sake.”
Matthew 5:11
Yep.
Parading the rare exception as a reason to ignore the obvious majority.
Plus, little baby-mama gets a lot of attention.
I know there are many fine bi-racial couples.. but it’s
probably hard to find one that wants to be paraded about
as part of a liberal propaganda scam.
Years ago my brother-in-law and his wife adopted a Black baby, a boy. He is now grown. He served a tour in the Navy and is now on the faculty at a small college in New England. He is married to a white woman. At their first visit to our house, I asked her how they met. She responded "In a bar." Why did they get married? They fell in love, just as his step-parents did, and my wife and I did. Good a reason as any.
Stop misquoting Jesus.
You set this thread up to preen and cry foul for your own personal reasons whatever they are
Most race mix copulating I see is ugly as hell down here and just as problematic as in Maine
Platitudes notwithstanding
These realities have to be faced
Few blacks bother to marry anymore
And we all pay the price
They destroyed my hometown and turned it into a Lagos type cesspool dangerous as hell with 100,000 fatherless kids
Your Subaru commercial mixed race family you’re pimping counters the weight of that like a BB gun against an Abrahams
