This demon is writing laws for Black people, his wife is also sitting in a court room judging black people.
I swear I agree with Ta Nehesi Coats 100% that if we really want what we claim we want, we have to burn this whole shyt to the ground but I guess that might end up being pyrrhic.

1st Round Playoff Exits
During Saturday’s Legislative Coffee session at St. Catherine Hospital, State Rep. Steve Alford, R-Ulysses, made an ostensibly racist comment when citing domestic Jim Crow-era drug policies.

When Zach Worf, president of the Finney County Democrats, argued that legalizing marijuana could be a financial boon to cash-strapped Kansas, Alford told him he should look to the 1930s, the latter part of the prohibition era, for a history lesson. Alford said that a reason for the tightening grip on potential intoxicants at that time was to shield Americans from the consequences of drug abuse by “African Americans.”

Why is that such a far fetched concept. There's a reason why as ppl blacks have hypertension and are more likely to get it and it's due to bodies retaining stuff due to long voyages on slaveships.

Seem reasons why Indians might not be able to handle alc.
