@jaybirdjetwings7516 it mainly targets people who use drugs whomever that may be. stop forcing racial divisions where none exist. do those experiencing the "4 times more harsh sentencing" have longer wrap sheets? committed more violent crimes? do you know anything more about them other then their skincolor? so you believe everything every racist says? if so, youll be amazingly easy to manipulate. how about recognizing it for that it really is. a psychological issue. people use drugs to escape. and btw, i also feel the war on drugs is a colossal failure and end. use the money for rehab and mental health resources. give people better options and they will (eventually) take them. it has nothing to do with race. stop making it about race. we need less divisiveness, not more.

@jaybirdjetwings7516 so blacks are the only ones affected by the drug war? who knew? so when do all the white inmates get their white privilege and get released? so let those districts decide for themselves. outside intervention is not needed. once again, not a race issue.

0:29 "america is A empire......" (cringe intensifies) try not to be the meme people. gee, who paid for all this slick, professionally printed signs and high powered lasers that they used to blind cops? those arent cheap. maybe some of the rioters got a part time day job to pay for them. "its become a useful tool" says the tool. biggest take away; "organized chaos"

@jaybirdjetwings7516 what policies are those?

@jaybirdjetwings7516 i mean literally why should i believe him or care? the drug wars DOES NOT affect only blacks. STOP PUSHING RACIAL DIVISION. as i said, i think it should be ended, drug use decriminalized, and the money spent more effectively. stop living in the past and lets get things done today. stop being a tool for those that wish to divide us. bs. go visit appalachia. suffering knows no skin color. stop pretending it does. start at looking at WHY and WORK TO FIX IT instead of whining about it on the internet. have they tried NOT BREAKING THE LAW??? i lived in heavily policed getos (for all the good it did) and managed to never fall afoul of the law. except maybe for traffic violations anyway. you know whats also a fact? if you dont break the law the police wont bother you. fact. make better life choices. did you ever think it might have something to do with culture and not something as unimportant as skincolor?

@Luigipotter and i would argue that republican policies help the poor and democrat policies hurt the poor. i mean take your pick of democrat controlled urban shitholes. poor people. because if youre trying to tie it to race, thats a pretty racist thing to say.

@jaybirdjetwings7516 who says republicans are against social security? and "a rising tide lifts all boats".

@jaybirdjetwings7516 cutting some frivolous spending IS NOT opposing it altogether. well, what useless socialist pork have the dems stuffed into those "anti poverty bills"? so youre generalizing and entire group based on your perceptions of a few. got it.

@jaybirdjetwings7516 so why are you generalizing that republicans hate poor people then? actually it is real, sadly too much government intervention has gotten in the way for too many people. no one says no one is ever born with a disadvantage. quite the reverse. we just differ on how best to help people overcome their disadvantages. some tax cutting and deregulation is good as it unties the hands of entrepreneurs from creating opportunities for everyone (ie a rising tide lifts all boats). however no regulation leaves the unscrupulous free to take advantage of others which is not good. id disagree. dems are altogether too socialist. socialism is damaging to people and economies.

@jaybirdjetwings7516 your opening statement was that republicans were anti poor people. you didnt preface republicans with any qualifier.
