That's an old hat of theirs. They used to pull it out when all the cheap, easy pro-weed arguments failed against men of any principle.
Its only racist because blacks apparently just can't function without it. So even those who aren't doing anything else wrong still always have some pot on them during any random search*, meaning they are constantly being jailed for it.
Which means, like most crimes, blacks end up disproportionately arrested for it compared to their population size. And because of states with no tolerance 3 strike type policies, even tiny crimes like that keep them in the slammer.
*I won't discount a chunk is entirely due to cops planting it to force an arrest/search, but after 2020 and BLM I barely care how the cops treat them considering how they treat the cops.
There's also the matter of some people tending to be more stupidly careless, with attitudes that lead them to getting arrested, often in flagrante delicto. I'm not even thinking of north american blacks, I'm thinking of a different bunch of stupid n's.
