I'm just glad someone else sees the issue. It's infuriating to me to know the risks, know the statistics, and still be lied to by the government and persecuted for it.

We all know the correlations with poverty and of course biases in policing and whatnot so there is no way those ratios are that close together.

Guessing any data or study that fits the "Blacks and other minorities Bad - White man good" theme is automatically accepted as unquestionable truth, but any study depicting whites anywhere near being just as bad or worse, must be wrong? So you believe the part about the Black men, but then something went wrong when polling the whites that flagged your B.S. meter? Makes sense being that Blacks are criminals, Mexicans are illegal gang banger, Native Americans were savages (that was before most of them were killed off of course), and Arab are terrorists...

Obama smoked as a young adult yet is allowing others to be locked up for it. How many politicians are addicted to prescription meds but don't get in trouble because its "prescribed"?

The reality might just be that with such a monolithic voting block, they have no leverage politically and are therefore screwed either way.
I'm not gonna disagree with you on that one. There's lots of Democrats and black politicians who don't have the black community's best interest at hard.

Blacks do not vote for their interest. They vote against the people who many of them believe are rasist, out to get them, and who could care less about their vote. This is the fault of some Republicans who energize their base by making degrading remarks and push targeted laws, and just about all Democrats and Liberal media who capitalize on that fact by feeding the stereotype that EVERYTHING that Republicans do or say is some how racist... That all it took and takes to get the Black vote and many of them do not even notice or could care less about the fact that Democrats do nothing for them...

Indeed. Cocaine is the drug of choice for the elitists! Perhaps that is why they are so blinded by their greed? From what I've heard blow makes you feel like you're 10 feet tall and bullet proof.

I agree.

Support libertarians and end the so called "police state".

Yep. My concern is that the game is rigged anyway. Money talks. Louder than votes. Still something is needed to break the control of the 2 corrupt main parties.

It's also undetectable after 2 days so they won't fail drug test. Brilliant!
