Governor Paul LePage of Maine has a binder filled with black and brown people.

Not just any black and brown people, either. In LePage’s deeply paranoid imagination, they are the kind of people who trek to Maine to infest his state with drugs and hang around to impregnate impressionable young white Maine girls.


I’m not making any of this up. He unveiled the binder — he’d previously just talked about it — at a press conference Friday. He has commented on the link between black male drug dealers and Maine’s innocent white women multiple times, most recently just a few days ago.

But if you think any of this behavior suggests LePage is a racist, you’d better be prepared for serious blowback. Like the kind he directed toward state Representative Drew Gattine in a phone message that went viral last week.
