    “All my jokes are quite racist lol,” he said in a text, adding: “What do you call 2 old black people sitting on your front lawn.” “Antique farm equipment,” he said. Republican Mayor of 2nd largest city of Maine just resigned after racist texts released.https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/433239-maine-gop-mayor-resigns-after-calling-elderly-black-people …

        I remember hearing that joke in high school. I wish I would have called it out then. Racists assume that they can say these things around other white people so it is important to call it out when you hear it.

        This is my home town. What makes it even worse is the candidate who lost to him lost because in his campaign emails he said that some people in Lewiston are racist. Ben Chin was the candidate who ran against him and was the focus of many racist attack ads.

        The only good part of this story is "resigned."

        This is not intended to sound dismissive, but who thinks of these things? Something like that would never even cross my mind. I honestly don’t understand and feel bad that I don’t understand this way of thinking.
