Do you think this is a good thing, FXE?

I'm not really familiar with the usage of the term dank, so "Dank Brandon" in the thread title has me confused.

Yes, I'm in favour of any moves that weaken (or ideally ones that would end) marijuana prohibition.

Dank Brandon is a pun on Dark Brandon.

Ah right!

Yeah, cannabis should be legalized in this day & age.

Since the War on Drugs was just an excuse to throw non-whites in jail and disenfranchise them, I welcome this move 100%.

Gotta force your hand on governors like Abbott and DeSatan.

^ Yeah, a disproportionate number of black people are incarcerated for cannabis related crimes. It seems like a systemic issue.

You want to talking about systemic racism, urban planning (the field I studied) was chock full of it.

This is a book I've read (I don't read that much non-fiction). The title may seem misleading:

Do urban planners have some rule that when you're building a freeway you should always demolish the black neighborhood first?

Interesting. My life was saved recently in one of the hospitals with his name.

Whites stole the land from the Indigenous, and then parceled out the land for urban usage- including residential, including the ethnic and social class of the residential areas. Blacks fleeing rural servitude in the South would migrate north and end up settling in certain urban neighborhoods of prexisting cities. It wasnt as if Blacks stole the land from the Indians first before Whites stole it from them.
