Maine officials are coming under fire after handing a $132,000 contract to a racial justice group, only for it to conclude with a 30-minute webinar on 'problematic' place names.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

But she doesn’t see the name “black box” as racist?
Good point.
Maine has RCV for a reason...
I get the “Old Maid” thing, but Norway, Nipple, and Paris?
I do, however, suppose that political correctness led to the moniker of the Washington, as opposed to Big Dick, Monument...
Meadow Dibble. Now there’s somebody who needs to be renamed. Meadow Nipple would sound a lot better. Wow, a Karen who spends her life tracking down names of sh*t that offends her. I hope she didn’t pay to go to college. She needs to give Pedo Joe his money back.
“..Can Maine give the counties close to the Atlantic Coast back to Massachusetts?...”
The local Mainers in the 2nd Congressional District call everything south of Augusta: “little Taxachusetts”. They outright despise the bassturds.
‘Franklin County was named after founder Benjamin Franklin, who was an active participant in the slave trade and an enslaver before becoming an abolitionist,’ she said.
I had never heard that first part before, and will only assume for sake of argument that it’s true. As to the second part, really? I guess if one does a bad act, then nothing you do to reform and atone counts. How I loathe these simpletons
“They” will eventually.
PORTLAND AND AGUSTA spend that money. Free ME is angry.
This is bullshit.
The French stole Maine from the Indians. We just stole it from the French.
