Calif NAACP to back pot legalization initiative

Full story: Daily Democrat

The California chapter of the NAACP is announcing its support for a marijuana legalization ballot measure, saying current laws are unfairly used to target non-whites. The group plans to highlight findings at a news conference Tuesday that it says show young people of color have faced a lopsided number of arrests for low-level marijuana crimes.

The white devil uses this one issue to lock black people up over it is just another tool to reenslave blacks! Legalize it! it is as natural as dam collards! Should they make them illegal too?

(rolls eyes) get over it (and yourself) already. Nobody wants (black) slaves. This horse is almost 300 years old and should be put to rest. Besides, who in the heck would want a loaded slave. LMAO!

Black Power,
Says the fokes who love to use reverse discrimination and look as if there is nothing wrong with the pot calling the kettle black (I love it two puns in one sentence!). Lets be real, the reason the NAACP is getting behind this is simple, the more black folk who are high are going to need welfare services, so there will be more need for government handouts, which means the NAACP will be given more grant dollars to show that for some reason since the legalization of mary jane, a disproportionate amount of young black men are out of work.... seems a little self serving if you ask me.

The fact is that there are more **** smoking that **** than any one! Also you **** are the ones that is bringing that **** into the country in the first place! You only use ignorant blacks as scape goats to sale it and get caught and get put into prison as a buffer between you and the law and the real pusher never gets caught!

Black Power,
I am glad you a forum to get your issues out in the open. Let's be perfectly clear though, I don't smoke, sell, or transport any illegal drugs. Nor do I call wellfare anything else but wellfare... well maybe just government candy. Also as you are simply taking my statements here and assuming that I am a white person, I rest my case on where the rascisim lies. I don't know what color you are and I don't care, the NAACP (Never Assist A Colored Person) has a long history of supporting legislation that was never intended to help the black population. I wont argue with you that there are also many whites, hispanics, and asians that are smoking as well, but the reason the NAACP is backing this is because of that there is perception that there is a disproportionate balance of blacks that would be "helped" by the legalization of marijuana. This is ludicrist, if you want to help people you help them get off the drugs not stay on it... no matter if it is minority of the population or the majority of the population.
Get out of the haze, read some history on the organization, and then take a look at what they are trying to do.

You forget, it is you crackers that bring the shit in here in the first dam place! You are not going to go against your own interest in trying to get people off of drugs and not just pot either! Pot is nothing compared to the other shit that you are pushing or your people are pushing into the black community and the United States! That would be defeating the white man's purpose in getting people off of drugs, they will not make any money by doing that shit! Also it is the main reason that they were introduced into the black community is to arrest their development! First the crackers created a climate of hopelessness by not employing blacks and then they introduced drugs! So it is you crackers that are implementing Satans plans here on earth for him and there is nowhere else for you to go but to hell to be in the presence of the one that you serve, for satan is the one who spawned you all!

Why, other whites of course! It was never intended for them but since they want to get caught up in the web of white devil's greed then so be it! They are like many animals in the wild kingdom that eat their own young! So one could certainly look at the white man's greed as a sort of cannibalism! lol!

I guess growing up white all my life I missed out on those secret societies, perhaps I was not entrusted with such important information as to how to ruin the black society.....hmmmm, we should all go looking behind those secret doors and find all of those people who are plotting and running things and hating blacks. Of course we have a Black leader now, so, perhaps he can weed out all those powerful whites who live only to destroy blacks.

I see a lot of hate on this thread.....yes I do.

Just for the record folks, cannabis has nothing to do with those (black, white, etc) on welfare. it's the laziness of the person and their own lack of responsibility and self control that puts healthy people on welfare. Millions of people smoke/vaporize cannabis yet still live normal, healthy and responsible lives. Let's stop placing blame on everyone and everything except for those who are actually responsible for their lot in life.

The devil isnt of the Human race...and if he was he'd be dark red....not white.

Its just something black slaves say to feel better about their sorry situation.

Who told you the devil is a 'he' and is 'red?'

Does s/he eat chocolate cake for food, too?

Or did you just make that up?

Intheloop you said "growing up white all my life" that hits the nail on the head. Your reality is being white in America and always will be. When you have the opportunity to live as a colored you will have to right to speak on the experiences of a colored person, which of course you will never be able to do and in turn your opinion regarding the subject will always equate to nothing.

Good: Well from my perspective what I can attest to is the racism I have experienced from people of other races towards whites, what I can attest to is that as much as I hear that there are these monumental societies that are working together to hold the black man down, I have not seen them. So you see, we all have our perspectives and reach our own conclusions based on life experiences. I just don't think someone who goes around believing they are a victim and feel that there is this organized effort to keep them down will ever be anything but a victim. Further, spreading that kind of hate to their children and grandchildren just breeds more victims. But I get what you are saying.

70% of all black babies are born out of wedlock. As a percentage, there are more single black mohter than any other race. Why? Where are the black fathers? You need to get your own house in order and have some respect for yourself and black women before you blame anyone else for your own, self-made problems. It is called personal responsibility. But, you will continue to rant because you sound like one angry, ignorant fool. And, fools do as fools be.

Nope: Just don't pick on black folk. The stat you quote is not a stat but only someones best guess. Real studies would indicate 50% of black children, 50% of hispanic children, 33% of white children, 59% of swedish children, are born to unmarried women. But what the stat doesn't show is that so many people cohabitate and have children. This doesn't mean they don't have a mommy and a daddy. But it is true that given the prison population across the US, blacks account for almost 1/2 the prisoners, hispanic and whites are about even. Black men aren't home because they are locked up.

The state with the lowest rate of out of wedlock children is Utah which also happens to have the highest rates of marriage. Imagine that.

It is not about race fella. It is about morals and the loss of religion in our country. Religion historically kept families together but with churches shutting down at all time highs, we are losing ourselves in immorality. No question.
