Governor LePage's Poor Adopted Son
|
Remember when Governor Paul LePage told the NAACP to kiss his butt, because they criticized him because he wouldn't meet with them during a Martin Luther King day event? Governor LePage responded by accusing them of "Playing the race card," and used a young man who lived in his home from Jamaica as proof that he wasn't a racist. I would have been totally embarrassed. |
Just because LePage has a black son (by adoption) doesn't mean no one can or should question his racial sensitivities. I mean, Justin Volpe, a white New York City police officer who violated Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant, in a stationhouse bathroom in 1997, had a black girlfriend at the time. |
