    Please read the link above in its entirety if you're going to post.

    I've got to say, while I don't support racist policies such as this one, I at least appreciate the candor. They're at least openly admitting to race based extortion.

    Additionally: If their argument to justify reparations of this nature is that blacks are disproportionately effected by the war on drugs, they are literally holding those persons ransom so they can get a payday and wet their beaks.
    I find it disgusting, myself.

    Thoughts?

    They're literally saying "our people have been imprisoned by this, and its terribly unjust and we want it to stop. However, we will obstruct the cessation of this unjust policy if we are not given sufficient pie with which to wet our beaks. We shall determine the amount of this pie and you shall give it to us or we will **** in the pie and no one will be eating at all. "

    I think its sad they would let their own people rot in prison if a handout is not offered. Once legalized, anyone of any color can start a business.

    Call their bluff, take a vote on it and then let them explain to their constituents why they voted no and will still be arrested. While I agree marijuana related offenses (non-violent, simple possession) should be expunged this racial quota bs has to stop. It is unequal by design.

    All people should be treated equal not some more than others.
