Bernie Thinks Minorities Can Only Sell Drugs

Why wouldn't he have been campaigning to help them open other businesses?  Why only marijuana?  "That's good, not bad," makes you sound like Bernie when he was talking about people lining up to get bread in socialists countries, so is that good, too?

As I pointed out below, white men use marijuana at a higher rate than minorities, but he only thinks that minorities would be motivated by the idea of selling legal marijuana?  Or does he think it will be easier to do?  Isn't that racist?  Why not other businesses?

So why would starting a business to sell legal marijuana be any different than starting any other business?  Does he believe marijuana is a drug for only minorities?

To repeat a point made by at least two posters--a racist system of penal control has unfairly targeted the minorities in question. That's why B is proposing programs to help a few of them get started in small businesses peddling a weed whose penalties were formerly used to control them.

The racial targeting--that's why he is pushing this resolution towards minority communities, to help repair that damage, even though "whites use it more."  So you are assuming Bernie assumes minorities can only sell drugs, when there is no reason to assume that at all. He made plain his reasons--none of which were "blacks and Latinos are already good at it."

One final point on that subject--he was not campaigning on any restriction of help for minorities to only selling marijuana. You are injecting so much into his statements that is not there.

Regarding Impeachment: According to my inside information, he obstructed justice regarding TWO different investigations (remember when he ordered McCabe to falsify documents?), and abused his presidential power to hijack US foreign policy in hopes of damaging a political rival.  His party chose to exonerate him, though a number agreed that he had committed the crimes ascribed to him.  One did in fact vote for impeachment--a historical first.

Of course this is the first time this has been mentioned on this message board, so you may not have heard this.
