Sounds like a good reason to let Putin just move into the WH for a sleepover. And then he can take over since Donnie get's too tired for Prez stuff around mid afternoon. He's just a helpful guy, helpin us all out.

If you really wanted to, there's a decent argument that white people with weed is a strong display of privilege considering how little trouble they'd get into if caught compared to say...a black person.

Legalization in Colorado was a big problem because people were mad that a whole bunch of white people flooded the industry to profit on something black people were doing time for.

Yes. There is a difference between the corporate interests having to buy leverage and just outright putting their leaders in office. There is a huge difference. Now we've cut out the middle man to make it a more efficient, streamlined system of loving the average American.

You're all misunderstanding Nut's argument.

His assertion is that people are enlightened enough to not discriminate, and if they did, they would be justly destroyed by social pressure.

If you disagree with the assertion, that's fine, but doing that means that you're ultimately saying that you think people need to be talked into positive behavior by the threat of legal punishment on top of social punishment.

That's fine until you actually look at human history and realize that human slavery of black people didn't stop until the US government forced it to stop with actual warfare. It would not have just stopped on its own.

And its not about people needing to be threatened into good behavior. It's recognizing that some people will do intolerable things if they are allowed, so we as a society better not allow it. It's okay to stop people from doing bad things with policy. It doesn't have to mean you think people are inherently evil or that you think the state is the ultimate arbiter of good/evil.

What world do you live in where "human slavery of black people" (:wtc:) is over?

I don't believe all slavery the world over was abolished forever. You got me on the mistake.

As for other places abolishing it without war. Fine cool good. The debate in the US wasn't just one day in congress. It spanned a loooong time and there were plenty of attempts to end it peaceably. But it wasn't happening and I am never going to agree that we should have just waited it out until slavery faded away because those were actual living people being held in servitude who deserved freedom right then and there, no questions asked.

Just like it's moronic to blame all black people for violence because they are arrested and incarcerate more for violent crime, it's moronic to blame all white people for the actions of what some do, unless you are the type of person who like to group people together and hold the many responsible for the actions of the few. I think there is a word for that, starts with racist.

Spunky is trying to brush aside killing off native americans as an accident, and when it was pointed out that he was a very stupid person he backpedalled to "well both sides were bad actually."

also, you are not addressing anything related to my point in any way.
you're trying to come in with a "the real racist....is you" but you're doing a bad job.

Instead of using phrases like "the white man's actions" perhaps you should use less racist language then? I think there is browser plug in that changes "white man" to "black woman". You should install that to see how stupid and racist it sounds when you use those kind of broad, generalizing terms.

I was parroting Spunky's own words to mock him. gee willigers you seem to be flailing about randomly at me and not based on any understanding of the posts involved. I'm sure you can do better if you slow down a little and think though. I believe in you.
