Yesterday was 4/20.
Sure- that’s April 20th. For those of you who don’t know, that’s also a weed holiday. Don’t ask me why. Wikipedia it or something.
ANYWAY – I’d expect the libs over at Ben & Jerry’s to be all about it. They seem like stoners.
But nope. They’re not all about it. Why? RACISM. That’s why.
It’s hard to celebrate 4/20 when so many people of color are still being arrested for pot. We have to do better. Learn more: https://t.co/DPCcqND0SI pic.twitter.com/fLsngGteOF

Uhhh. Wut?
First off, that whole “most of the people making money off of legalized weed are white.” Yeah. Most of the people in this country are white. In fact, only 13% of Americans are black. If you ask liberals, you’d assume it’s 50-50, because anything less than that is apparently “under-representation” in their book.
ALSO – this whole “only people of color” are arrested for weed thing is complete and total BS. My fiance is a criminal lawyer in northwestern Arizona. He sees hundreds of weed cases go through our local courts. The vast majority of the suspects are white.
Why? Because the vast majority of people in this area are white.
If the area is densely populated by white people, you’ll see a lot of white arrests. If it’s densely populated by black people you’ll see a lot of black arrests.
There are of course a lot of other social, economic, and cultural factors, but the truth of the matter is that cops just aren’t looking to bust a bunch of “people of color” on weed charges because they’re all just a bunch of flaming racists. It doesn’t make any sense.
But whatever. Ben & Jerry’s has already made it clear that they’re far more committed to pushing liberal narratives that they are to ice cream.
I mean… these are the same people who honored flaming bigot Linda Sarsour for her contributions to “Women” …despite shaming a woman who didn’t support female genital mutilation.
So yeah…keep at it folks.
