He wants to monopolize the marijuana industry to minorities because he thinks that's the only thing they can do?

How the hell are you people still supporting this psycho?

Imagine if Trump had said that: this board would be up in furry and there would be riots in cities and crowds at the White House trying to hang Trump.

Why is this ok to all of you?

He's not my candidate, but there's a big gap in minority entrepreneurship in the legal cannabis industry, with less than 20% of legal cannabis businesses being minority owned. There's less minorities applying for licenses because minorities are approved for loans at lower rates. There's also states that prevent people with past drug convictions from getting licenses, even as data shows that a minority is more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person, even as marijuana use is nearly identical between the groups. 

The article goes into more detail. Hopefully you will check it out and readdress the topic.
