Done With Pot, Moving On To Heroin

[jtuck004]

44. "...seem short sighted..." Well you do have that privilege. Clearly.

More of the same...

Black folk make up around 11% of Seattle's population, yet

"Black people are arrested at four times the rate of whites for dealing pot, even though whites are up to 32 percent more likely to sell the drug.
--Here.

Not only are they vastly outnumbered, by white folk who are more likely to be selling, they are arrested at 4 times the rate of white folk. Further, the new rules make legal only certain activities, and to join the club you need to be relatively well off, who own property or can get their hands on it on either side of the state.

Guess who that describes in Seattle - black or white folk? Try it in Spokane, not even close.

One of the wealthy or connected white cabal - the organization - the new "mob" in your words - growing 4000 or 10,000 or whatever plants which might sometimes be covered in powdery mildew or infested by insects, killed with pesticides that you would likely not use on your vegetables...they are perfectly legal if their paperwork is in order. Those "safe" products are in the stores.

The mob has been insulated by these new laws that put them in a position to profit from the rest of us.

They can go to cocktail parties, political fundraisers, the movies, out to dinner- no worries, mate.

That "poor drug dealer" characterization - she/he sells a gram to someone, jail. That was quick, eh? Black kid has to hide in a stairwell, white kid walks off down the street - but neither has the money to join the club. All they are trying to do is make it.

The wealthy white majority has made laws that target people of color who don't - who can't - act in the pre-approved white manner. For people who don't have the money to join the club.

It seems pretty open and shut, and not that hard to understand if one wants to.

I really don't give a shit what the useless bureaucrat ass hat in DC said, pot ain't heroin. The pres needs to fire his stupid ass. The fucking real estate agent running against Clinton is smarter than him.

Stopping this purposeful vengeance against people of color is the thing to do. Now.
