more violent and also sexually aggressive towards white women? Hmmm, very scary and how convenient that they got to arrest a lot more black men because they were obviously a real danger. Bingo - racism wins again!

I find it curious that that's what this video says, but then at the end the summary says that it was "fear of the unknown". Yeah, right.

Perhaps I picked up on that because I already knew something about the history of pot.
