Do people who imagine being Black is a Crime really exist.

I get that you are reality challenged.

Yes, there are people who act as if being black is a crime, or at least an indication that a person is a criminal. It's part of the everyday experience of many black people.

babe said:
Even slavers and slaveodrivers didn't think like that. Being Black merely meant there was someone you could buy and have do hard work, and the food and cloth and house they needed made the package a good deal.

"Merely", as if that is better than an assumption of criminality, or as if the notion of criminality being a part of being black was not one of the justification used for slavery?

babe said:
But today's marxists are making being white a crime, actually.

How many times in the last year have you been questioned by the police because they thought you didn't belong where you were standing?

babe said:
Well, anyway, as I said, above, the common use of weed seems, empirically, to cause bad logic and insjupportable arguments about everything. I highly recommend just not using it

Sure, just like alcohol or tobacco. That's a different question than whether it should be legal.

you mistake your narrative talking points supplied by your community organizers for "reality". I have never known a single person who has believed Blacks or any racial or ethnicity should be labeled "criminal" or locked up for being "Black". I have known some who would do that for a "Jew", but in this country that's maybe less than 1000
"Nazi" believers. You can find quite a few on the unpurged webz, if we have that anymore, taling about Zionist bankers as criminals. Some say such things about Trump, or Obama.

So put up or shut up. Find me o ne person anywhere anyhow who actually says "Being Black is a Crime".

Today's reparations chatter isw littered with racist charges that""Whites" should pay reparations. Some counter that with the fact that it was the Dems in the old South who supported slavery, and Republicans from the North who wanted it abolished. After the Civil War, many blacks were Republicans, and many needed guns to defend their families and businesses and their own lives and property....... from the likes of KKK folks, of whom Sen William Fulbright and Sen Byrd...... prominent Democrats, and Pres Woodrow Wilson, also a Progressive advocate and a Democrat, supported.

Todays Marxists are schooled to exploit racial issues to push the cause, some cells being "fer" and other cells being "agin". In fact, I think there is good reason to believe that the extremists who show up to face off with Antifa are also in real life, Marxists. It's a puppet show. You would be delusional to believe race is a real issue escept for planned paid demonstrators lining up to give the mainstream Press something to yammer about.

In fact, I don't know a single racist white person today. But Barry Obama is a racist. And Biden is a racist. And Harris is from a slavde-owning family fairly recently in Jamaica. And she locked up a helluva lot of blacks for minor "crimes" like pot, and even fought against the Supreme Court when order to release 5000 non-violent offenders.



How many times in the last year have you been questioned by the police because they thought you didn't belong where you were standing?

Well, without explaining.......about twenty times just this year so far. But it's nothing like the stop and frisk idiocy many Blacks are subjected to. Police of all kinds have been taught to do illegal stops and stuff. Just to keep track of and demean the public. No law enforcement required, no reason required to stop, detain, and question Joe Public.

But I don't deal with it the way the Black man in the Sacramento mall parking lot handled it. I watched for an hour as no less than six police stood around while the detained Black man was extremely agitated and literally shouting obscenities at the cops. In the end, he did nothing and the cops left. I guess a white man with a phone camera on the scene might have cooled some heads.

Lots of stuff affects us one way or another. The Government has no expertise, and no reason to get involved. If you push stuff that harms people, that's a civil complaint, should go for damages in court. But if you either support government laws agin it, or support regulating laws "legalizing" it, you are asking for the government to assume power it has no legitimate business having.

Again, you missed the point of "Being black is not a crime", and I will not bother to explain it again. Nor do I see the need to engage yet another white man who thinks racism is not an issue or that Harris' parent being raped by a slave-owner is a some sort of negative for Harris.
 
Lol at the poll results. 24 say yes. Babe says no.

It doesn't work that way. Alcohol consumption dropped during Prohibition, and there is every reason to think legalizing cannabis will/does increase consumption, including among kids. This is not an argument for keeping it illegal, just pointing out these two positions are false.



There will also be an increase in people driving under the influence of cannabis.

That said, the negatives do not outweigh the positives.

Actually, Cannabis taken MODERATELY increases alertness when driving, at least while you're high, kind of like caffeine. I did it once during a long distance trip at night and it really kept me going when I probably would've had to stop at a motel.

I would like to believe you understand the difference between thinking you are being more alert, and actually being more alert.

True. I sometimes am more awake and energetic but i still would rather not drive. Im also more easily distracted.

You missed the fact reported by yet another "anecdotal" data point.

For many years I drove without caffeine, and could credibly claim to have been "high" on milk. Milk has some factors that cause babes to fall asleep, whether it's a nursing human or a bovine critter, but it also has some balanced nutrition including sugars and protein and fats, which constitute a reasonabl3e "whole food" that can keep you going for miles without a food stop.

In the past few years, after some near-miss events like waking up in the wrong lane with a Semi blowing his horn, or going off the road asleep, and scaring my daughters with my drifting, I chose to use caffeine. Eenie didn't claim much more than some enhanced neural function, natural to being high, and without the commonly understood poor judgment of intoxication being reached at a threshold perceptible level.

It's probably a fairly narrow zone where alertness is favored and poor judgment not achieved yet, but I think Eenie-Meenie might have a valid point here.

I think saying there is no downside is a stretch but it's definitely far less dangerous and impactful than tobacco. Legalize it and tax the hell out of it, just like tobacco.

I say set up a grand jury in every State, and county, to investigate abuse of prosecutorial powers and police powers in relation to weed, and throw a lot of corrupt politicians in jail for padding the accounts of cartel (monopoly) jail owners with posh contracts for housing non-violent offenders, and throwing kids/blacks in jail disproportionately, and keeping them there longer, for minor "offenses" that are in fact unconstitutional "crimes" which no Federal, State, or County should be allowed to criminalize, and pass new laws making "sin taxes" illegal forms of regressive tax policies.

Let's throw all the Bidens, Clintons, Bushes, Romneys and Huntsmans in jail for profiteering from dynastic exploitation of government offices, to boot.

And Trump too, if he does **** like that.

We have laws now that make authoritarian figures like school teachers and church officials and business owners exploiting vulnerable..... underage, credulous, or hired "slaves/workers" a factor in rape or abuse allegations. I think the reality speaks loudly in these circumstances, and should indeed increase the punishment/sentencing for crimes.

I have no way of assessing Harris' ancestral history, but like Thomas Jefferson's historical slave love affair, there are some adult circumstances that might not really be the same thing. As I understand it, Thomas Jefferson loved his black illegal consort, and according to her descendants, she loved him, and it may not have been that much of a black/white moral argument. The relationship, perhaps, helped to form his more general concepts of what human rights should be, and how society should move towards more protection for human beings generally. I bet he would have favored ending slavery if there were any practical way to accomplish that in his time. I don't enough to make any solid judgment on the matter, but I hope there were quite a few white men who did not really miss the point about the humanity of their slaves in that era.

I am sure there were plenty of callous unthinking abusers too. People who should have gone to jail not just for being slave owners but exploiters of human beings, like Xi Jin Peng is today, and the whole Epstein/Clinton/ fascist worldwide3 UN elite set who infamously meet up several times a year at world policy confabs well-supplied with groomed underage sex slaves. And no reporters willing to tell the story.

People like Romney, Huntsman, and Reid should be excommunicated for their LDS Church standing for even showing up at places like that.

This really is a major moral issue, and the JFC club/cell are on the wrong side, morally. You have no excuse for supporting the UN governance schemes. You are the modern slavers du jour. You have no ground to stand on, morally. Unthinking stupid believers in fantasy politics.

In either case, if the Left could muster the honesty it takes to be consistent about labelling all whites abusers, whether the white ancestry had slaves or not, and would look for unbiased factual context in discussions, Harris' ancestry would indeed be a non-issue. Black is not the issue. White is not the issue. Historical slavery is not the issue.

The issue today, with Harris, is her extreme prosecutorial misconduct and her factual exploitation of young black males to fill up the cartel-owned, "Progressive-owned" prison system, for which she received abundant compensation in terms of campaign support.

Harris is a dishonest dirtbag, nothing less.

House votes to decriminalize marijuana at federal level

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic-controlled House on Friday approved a bill to decriminalize and tax marijuana at the federal level, reversing what supporters call a failed policy of criminalizing pot use and taking steps to address racial disparities in enforcement of federal drug laws.

Not yet. It has to pass the Senate and that doesn't look likely unless the Dems win in the runoff election in Georgia. In fact, the timing of this was an attempt to motivate voters in Georgia to vote for the Dems.
