> He can take on the same risks that society deems appropriate for black kids who had a joint behind their ear. I spent 10 years incarcerated in TDCJ, and I don't appreciate you spreading falsehoods like this. There are a lot of reasons that people go to prison, and a very small number claim to be innocent (and some are, I just don't know which ones). But I never met anyone who was down for just a joint. Maybe if the joint constituted a violation of probation for aggravated robbery or statutory rape or something like that, but never for just a joint. Most of you who talk like this don't even know the people that you think are so oppressed. It's no surprise that you complain about imaginary problems while being completely ignorant of the real issues.
