    Democrats didn't legalize weed, most legalization stemmed from ballot initiatives and referendums.

    And I said legalize drugs, not just weed.
    Well if you make the argument that it's anti-hippie I'll buy into it. But then who cares, right. No but if you call it racist you can get people to scream and **** in the streets. But it's only against black DRUG ADDICTS and WHITE DRUG ADDICTS, not black people.

      I'm not saying that black people aren't treated unfairly by the criminal justice system. I'm saying that it's not racist to keep drugs illegal because of that. Are there more black people incarcerated for other crimes that you want legalized, or is it just drug laws?

      its racist when the drug laws are enforced more often and more strictly against black people. Just drug laws... The enforcement of those is largely arbitrary, enforcing a law against murder is not.

      So you don't think homicide laws are racist if there are more innocent black men in prison for homicide and the black community is more affected by the laws?

    Like the white drug addict in the oval office who does cocaine?
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      Kind of a wannabe neogreen Michael Moore, but with less finesse.
      Your comment works for An Inconvenient Truth as well, so I predict major film awards.
