Yep, what's his infamous quote about them again? Ah, yes; "Well, what were they doing there?"

Which is VERY strange.. considering all races are "consuming" cannabis at nearly the same rate.
So why where blacks so heavily targeted and jailed compared to others?




Cannabis is illegal for white people too.

If you are consuming cannabis and it's illegal the ramifications are possible jail time. Know how to solve that? Don't break the law.

black people, for the most part, always vote democrats. no matter what that democrat politician did in the past.

Biden is right "you ain't black if you don't vote democrat"


if trump was a democrat, he would get black votes too.

Notice the huge uptick the exact moment that NWA released Straight Outta Compton? Since then it's been all downhill for the black community.

Trump was a Democrat. About as liberal as any other New Yorker, but was very pro-corporate as well.

functioning brains to vote for a guy who helped to write 1994 crime bill, or a woman who prosecuted black men for smoking weed? These two people have combined of 70+ years as politicians. what have they done for black people in all those years?

Trump was known to be a business and moral failure already in the early 90s over here in Europe...


But it seems he actually convinced a lot of Republicans he was the fictional character they wrote for him on a TV show.

You voiced an O-P-I-N-I-O-N which is fine.

Truth can be proven and you supplied proof of nothing.
