Mayor resigns after calling old black people "antique farm equipment"....

Klu Klux Klan?

Racist remarks?

Tell me he's a Democrat.

Oops, he wasn't.

Obviously he's Republican, totally expected.

That's their party. It's who they are. Who they represent.

Cool your jets. This is a freaking mayor of a small town.

It ain't necessary to conjure up political party associations for EVERYTHING. It really ain't.
That's how they start.
 
What probably happened is he saw a meme with that old ass joke on Twitter and he thought it was so funny he had to shoehorn it into a conversation.
 
The mayor of Lewiston, Maine, resigned Friday after racists text messages leaked

Shane Bouchard, the mayor of Lewiston, Maine, resigned Friday, days after alleged racists text messages from the mayor, who reportedly said "old black people" were "antique farm equipment," were leaked.

The allegations were made at a March 5 meeting by Heather Everly Berube, who said she funneled emails to Bouchard during his campaign to help him win. Berube revealed messages between herself and Bouchard that contained the racist comments, the Lewiston Sun Journalreported.

At the Friday-morning conference, former mayor Shane Bouchard said that after "rumors" about him started spreading earlier in the week, he received "overwhelming" support to "stand and fight" against those allegations. Bouchard said he would do so, but not from the position of mayor.

"It's not fair to the people of Lewiston, and I strongly believe that that fight will be fought better as a private citizen. I've made this decision with deep consideration as to what is best for my business and my family. Please consider this formal notice that I am resigning from the position of mayor," Bouchard said at a press conference Friday.

He said he would work with the incoming mayor Kristin Cloutier on the transition.

Bouchard is accused of allegedly referring to a GOP meeting as a Klu Klux Klan meeting and saying that "old black people" were "antique farm equipment," the Lewiston Sun Journal reported. Bouchard is also the subject of an investigation by the Lewiston Police Department and the Maine Attorney General's Office for alleged involvement in criminal activity, the Lewiston Sun Journalreported.

Ha! That guy is a hoot. :lol:
There is a problem among the Blacks. The majority of the Black men and women are naturally muscular and firm. And that is a sign of too much testosterone. Too much high levels of testosterone can cause them to have a cave man like behavior. To settle matters with their strength instead of their minds. It makes them less passionate for others, as the way Ham didn't showed any respect for his father Noah (Honor thy father and mother). They need to start eating a balance meal that does not increase their testosterone levels. Which now in these times, since GMO's are out there. That the majority cannot afford to eat healthier.





 
wait......
After nearly 60 years of integration, desegregation, affirmative action, wealth redistribution, anti-poverty programs and forced diversity we STILL HAVE RACISM in this country ?????
I find that VERY difficult to believe.

But but....big government is such a great thing! Let's have MORE gubbment programs! Better yet, let's vote for Socialism and give government FULL control! :rolleyes:

Cool rhetorical hairpin turn, bro.

Your odd perception is duly noted.

I have no doubt you meant my wordy wit, and just couldn't find the words. :thup:

I don't believe that's how it starts, no. Racism, bigotry, Klanning, these are social structures birthed by one's upbringing. If they then go into politics ----- and there's no requirement that they have any political activity at all to practice racism and bigotry, but if they do ----- they simply align with whatever political party or group that will further or be receptive to those goals.

When the Klan thrived in Maine, the state was a solid Republican stronghold, the mirror image of the Democratic 'Solid South', meaning if you ran for office you either ran as a Republican or you lost. Therefore both the pro-Klan and the anti-Klan elements were all Republicans. The Democrats took the anti-Klan side but their influence was insignificant.

There simply IS NO political association here. And on the level of a mayor of a small town political ideologies are even more meaningless. Like most local elections this guy would run with whichever political party gave him the most support and the best chance (actually most local elections are nonpartisan). A political party is just a vehicle, a means to an end --- it's not a personality trait.

Lewiston has a large Somali community and it is not a "small town." They moved here some years ago from further south, where they originally landed, because they didn't feel welcome there.

I'm not sure what the Mayor was trying to say--it sounds like he didn't like what he heard at the GOP meeting (calling it a Klan meeting) and maybe he was repeating the insulting thing to say it was disgusting, too. We never got the context of it, did we?

My guess is the mayor is resigning because of the criminal charges being investigated right now.
