Just watched the video. Calling it racist is an extreme stretch since it affects anyone that it happens to but I agree with his points that getting busted in your own apartment that falls within a "school zone" and getting an extended sentence/more charges than you would if you happened to walk down the block is really fucked up

Blm is such a fucking joke

How would that be racist?

THATS racist

Saying that it's racist to punish students for using drugs implies blacks use drugs more.

this is why people think BLM is stupid. there is no single leadership and anyone can call themselves a BLM leader and say stupid shit that represents the group. I don't know why they won't unify. it makes no sense to me

For anyone not interested in trolling, I believe this is the article

https://thinkprogress.org/what-happens-when-an-entire-city-becomes-a-drug-free-school-zone-46c5cb8760f9/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

It's a pretty good read. Essentially, school zones have been widened to include vast areas, often in communities of color. The opposite is true in whiter communities. It's being used inappropriately to jack up sentences. Most times, arrests don't involve children in anyway. It's manufactured leverage, often being used to get criminals of color to accept plea deals, further feeding the prison industrial complex

This, basically. I wouldn't call it racist, like at all, but the school zone thing for people who are busted in their own place is fucked up.

Isn't this the idiot that thought Planet of the Apes was racist cause they had a monkey in a blue vest and he thought they were mocking him?

i think the author / speaker is saying that the rules are disproportionately applied to people of color / minorities, which is racist, not that the rules themselves are inherently racist. of course Mal_Fet totally misses the point because BLM NEEDS TO BE INVALIDATED!
---

Just remember there are liberal and conservative members of BLM.

its funny how Mal_Fet's goal was to discredit BLM and ended up just discrediting himself by making an ignorant post

If "near" was the other side of the playground fence, sure.

The entire question is the boundries of "Near a school."

Outside of a school, sure. But if you're contesting that the zone has been widened to intentionally target people, then yeah that becomes pretty questionable.

Um, just because a law doesn't affect all groups equally as a percentage of their population density doesn't mean the law is bigoted against the overrepresented group

And lol @ aspirin doing a victory lap after making such an elementary mistake.

and when the application of those rules are disproportionately applied to minorities. that's EXACTLY the point in the video and it wooooooshed right over Mal's head.

right, but the point is the author is making a claim that "these rules are disproprotionately applied to black people, which is racist".

you CLAIMED he said "this rule is racist". and thats NOT what he said. you're free to disagree with his point, but dont invent points he never said in an attempt to discredit him. you do that A LOT and i honestly don't even know if you're aware you do it.

Seems to me, the ideal situation presented in this video is to start a crack house out in the boonies.

Won't somebody please think of the poor, innocent drug dealers????

What a load of shit.

I mean most people should have an issue with governmental over charging for the sake of it. If you're dealing pot out of your apartment and a school is a few blocks away, you shouldn't also get an additional charge.

The law is not "disproportionately applied to black people. Anyone of any color selling drugs in a school zone have the same rule applied to them. What's the racism?
