That's not racism; it's self preservation.
The non-white people here in Maine live basically the same lives as the white population.
I’ve seen several black employees at my local WalMart....they, like their white counter-parts, work hard and are friendly to the customers.
Portland, in southern Maine, is a sanctuary city and is a somewhat different story. It’s more like a miniature version of Boston; BLM protestors, some clashing with the police; muzzie demonstrators, etc.
There have been BLM protests elsewhere in Maine, but the participants are usually young white liberals.
Lewiston has a large population of Somalis, but they seem to stay there; I’ve never seen any in Eastern Maine; maybe I don’t get out enough.
My local TV stations always air the booking photos of individuals who get arrested. There are drug dealers from New York City, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc. getting arrested, and in their booking photos, they are overwhelming black.
That confirms (sort’a) my contention that CULTURE rather than race is the defining factor in behavior.

Little Becky, proof that propaganda works. And that decades of it works very well.
I spoke with both my sons on how to deal properly with police officers and the dangers. Sir ‘em, do exactly what they say to do immediately and shut your big mouth until you have a lawyer. They are tricky and not your pals. I’m white.
All responsible parents who are paying attention, warn their children about police officers. We are not in Kansas anymore.
Thanks, but I pretty much know how.
Over the years, I gotten out of at least a dozen traffic tickets that I should have gotten, including the last 3 times that I was stopped.
Every body appreciates a little respect and honesty.
