38. So now we are not debating a stupid graphic

Most likely because you know it is stupid. You now have to change the debate to different things that definitely do make the point you think was being made by the dumb OP graphic.

The fact that you had to move the goal post so far pretty well makes my point for me.

And this part I find insanely stupid.

which is why I don't and won't support the legalization of marijuana until people of color are pardoned for serving long jail terms for simple possession, with FULL citizenship rights restored.

You know that it disproportionately affects POC yet you would rather it continues to do so than stop it in it's tracks because you want pardons. That is so mind numbingly dumb I find it difficult to take anything else you might say seriously.

Yes much better we should continue to throw POC's in jail disproportionately over a law than change it.
