The Next ‘Civil Rights' action...

Rev. Al Sharpton argued that the fight to legalize marijuana is the next civil rights ...........

Sharpton, said it’s crucial to decriminalize marijuana because laws against it have oppressed minorities over the years, making it difficult for them to get good educations and other opportunities.

Sharpton continues..."generations of Americans, overwhelmingly people of color, have been imprisoned and starved of access to higher education, housing, and economic opportunities, and stripped of their inalienable right to vote thanks to non-violent acts.”

Rev.Sharpton said the plan to fight marijuana laws would free the next generation of minorities from the “oppression” that their parents faced due to marijuana laws.

 A lot of stereotyping of blacks going on here AL..This man is a complete embarrassment to "the cause.".

Yeah,and cocaine also, i know it has health risk and i don't really like it but it smells wonderful.....

A couple months ago,,Al Sharpton called for more minorities to be involved in the legal marijuana business...

Sharpton plans to show the ways that black people can get more involved in selling weed legally..

"I will challenge the cannabis industry and its distributors in states where it is legal to support civil rights movements and ensure that we ( Blacks ) are not disproportionately excluded from business opportunities.”

Sooooo........ what's wrong with this?

I'm with Stu. I don't see what's wrong with this? Weed should be legalized at the federal level. 

Well saying that ."generations of Americans, overwhelmingly people of color, have been imprisoned and starved of access to higher education, housing, and economic opportunities, and stripped of their inalienable right to vote thanks to non-violent acts.” = marijuana drug offenses...


Marijuana being illegal did not prevent them from getting an education etc. ...it was the using it that did.

finally I can agree with mr Sharpton on something....

just because we made alchohol legal did not mean we needed to make Maijuana illegal , cause treasury agents needed something to do.

we been growing weed here in America since the pilgrims arrived.....

anything on on an ocean sailing shi not made of wood or steel was made of hemp.... we been blazing since we landed and took the new worldfrom the natives but oh well what does the facts mean in this tweet of the day world.

did a player kneel for theanthem banish him oh yah trump does not have owner ship of any teem in the nfl. and the nfl does not need a dime from the federal government unlike eric and Donnie jr which just soaked the us tax payer for 100 millionin accodamations at trmp plaza property....

well it was 9 months and the best thing I can say about the Donald he no killary sad fnn day in America.

maga ha we be lucky to not have a full race riot in every state by the end of three years.

Why not also include mushrooms and cocaine, both or natural?  Everybody has rights......  We have enough problems already.
