"Some Of My Best Friends Are Black"

You know when you hear that, there's bound to be some drama that follows.
The Governor of Maine was asked to attend some of events by the Maine chapter of the NAACP.
(Wait, I didn't know there were that many black people in the state of Maine to form a NAACP chapter)
ANYWAY................
The Governor of Maine was asked to attend some events sponsored by the Maine chapter of the NAACP to celebrate Dr. King's birthday. He refused, citing "personal committments".
 "I'm not going to be held hostage by a special interst group" is what he said about the invitation of the NAACP.
This is the same man who said he would tell Barack Obama to "go to hell" if he was elected POTUS.
If a sitting governor of a state turns down an invite to attend a ceremony honoring Dr. King, in my mind, that means, you disrespect everything the man stood for. And that also means, that you are......more than likely, a racist. Despite having an adopted son who is black and despite the disputed fact that "some of your best friends" are black.
