Why is he only now concerned about helping minorities open businesses? Is it because he's a racist old guy that thinks only minorities use marijuana and that's the only thing they can sell?
What offenses did Trump commit that were impeachable? There was a lot of money spent to try and impeach him and did a lot of investigation but they couldn't, so seems weird to me that you'd have some inside information that they didn't.
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?
He didn't say he'd make it easier to open a business for marijuana than it would be to open any other business.
Studies say that white men are more likely to smoke marijuana at a higher percentage than minorities:
How so?
Why not start businesses for anything else? Why's starting a business for marijuana sale their only way to make it a living?
Sanders statement began with the criminal justice system, how people of color are disproportionately affected, criminal justice reform, legalizing marijuana, and then ownership of marijuana dispensaries.
He wasn’t discussing the food industry, legalizing the sale of hamburgers, or helping minorities own fast food restaurants.
He was as discussing a specific topic which is why he mentioned owning a specific type of business.
Had he been discussing small business ownership and only mentioned helping minorities own marijuana dispensaries then your point would be valid. But, since he wasn’t that’s why your point isn’t valid.
