I’ve heard the same said by black activists, met with no outrage at all.

Yeah. Black neighborhoods need more drugs. And while you’re at it, chase all the cops out before they shoot somebody. Let the ferals just police themselves while everybody gets high as a kite.

And, you know, if it all goes badly, we’ll just blame Trump. Because racism.

Damn, hoping she would keep it together long enough to do some damage to Cueball.

Oh well.

Someday the rants and true disposition of condescending liberals like Cynthia Nixon will help the black community finally realize how badly they have been hurt by the Democratic Party.

What she misses is that legalizing pot will eliminate the market for “inner city” pot dealers, transferring it to legitimate store fronts, probably owned by Asians.

Let’s face it, where do you think a suburbanite wanting to get some pot would prefer to go? Some seedy urban neighborhood? Or be able to just get a bag at his local liquor store?

Nixon has a paternalistic view of black people like so many wealthy white liberals do. Such an asinine statement, but hardly shocking from the likes of her.

Whites are already put at the back of every line by affirmative action.

Those damn reactionary right wingers just don't care about the black minority.

Free dope to blacks would make it so much easier to keep them happy and content on the plantations.

The pot laws in CA and MA both fast-track licensing for those “adversely impacted by the War On Drugs”.

So if your pot shop will hire greater than 50% of people with past pot convictions (preferably with jail time), and are in an “area significantly impacted by the WoD”, are a minority, you get sent to the head of the line for expedient, lenient processing of your application.

So the concept of “reparations” is in the legal pot structure even if it does not call out any particular minority.

You'll never get there with half measures, Cynthia.

Throw in free Cheetos, purple drank and fried chicken, then we got something.

From MA:

“The first round of licenses will also be open to applicants in a special social justice category.

Those applicants should meet six different criteria to prove they’ve been disproportionately affected by marijuana prohibition, such as with a marijuana-related arrest, or by living in an area where those arrests happen more often.

“A lot of these urban areas where people were adversely impacted by prohibition because of the disproportionate number of arrests for people of color compared with people who are Caucasian,” said Jim Borghesani, of Regulate Mass.”
