LePage looks like a slave owner so I am not surprised by this.
The bigger problem is that these are people in government who are making our laws. When the people making the laws and policies are racists, prejudice, elitist and stereotype minorities the effect is far-reaching.
This comment is so dripping in ignorance it is coming out of his pores.
“How about John Lewis last week?” LePage said on WVOM Maine radio’s George Hale and Ric Tyler Show. “Criticizing the president. You know, I will just say this. John Lewis ought to look at history. It was Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. It was Rutherford B. Hayes and Ulysses S. Grant that fought against Jim Crow laws. A simple ‘thank you’ would suffice.”
We have a President who doesn’t care about anybody but himself and governors, mayors and politicians who would be very happy if black people just disappeared.
So, you tell me, how fair do you think our government is to minorities?
