I have a question about the made-up word “racist”.
Governor LePage said that most people arrested in Maine for drug-dealing are black or Hispanic. (He actually said, “over 90%”). Maine is the whitest state in the nation.
Now, it seems like that would be pretty easy to fact-check. Either it’s true, or it’s not true.
If it’s true, how could it be “racist” to say it?
The sad reality is that the Governor is correct. A grossly disproportionate percentage of violent crime is perpetrated by men from those two groups. The failure of Obama to acknowledge this is why black urban crime has escalated under his watch. Instead of dealing with the underlying problems he blames whites and the police and makes it easier for people to avoid responsibility. Obama has set back the plight of black Americans by a generation.
I am willing to place a bet that the number is actually between 80% and 90%!
I heard one of the talking heads say there was no way to know if it was true. I know arrest reports have a race description on them.
I live in Maine.
The local TV stations show the booking photos of individuals arrested for crimes, and they air these booking photos on the local news broadcasts.
Most of the heroin dealers coming into Maine are coming from New York City, Connecticut and Massachusetts and yes, most of them are black and “Hispanic.”
The local guys and gals arrested for operating meth labs are white.
There are gang members from NYC, Bloods, Crips etc that have been arrested in Maine for selling drugs.
Because facts are racist.

The “Truth” to a Democrat/Leftist is whatever they want it to be. They never let facts get in they way of their delusions.
