> It may be dumb law, but it's not racist. I didn't say it was racist. I said it disproportionately affects blacks. Even if it were true that blacks use drugs at higher rates than whites (and this is disputed: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/17/racial-disparity-drug-use_n_3941346.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/17/racial-disparity-dr...), reversing an unjustifiable war that affects blacks the most would be a step towards fixing the problem. > If you think there's a racist conspiracy I dare you to prove it. I don't think there's a conspiracy. Few people believe that cops get together and make evil plans about how they can treat black people unjustly. Here's a bigger point though: I mentioned three things that are clearly broken today, and which fixing would work towards repairing some of the problems we are experiencing today. And instead of finding common ground there, you focused on rebutting an accusation of "conspiracy" -- an accusation I didn't even make. That, right there, is why we collectively spin our wheels and never really get anywhere.
