He got involved with the Sandy Hook murders and came to Newtown, CT to make a speech and West Hartford, CT University of Hartford campus with Mr. Malloy the Governor of Connecticut.

Let's see if he goes to Sanford, Florida to protest the fact that one juror was selected despite her husband being an attorney in a criminal-murder case????????

How about the juror selection pool was that fair too Obama too ?????????

Saint,

I clearly see that the solution to your frustration is Black Americans becoming a sovereign people on a reasonable and fertile portion of this continent as I have been saying all along am I right.

Many of the Children of Israel were frustrated over the injustices of the Egyptian people as well. Have you paid attention as to how God resolved that issue?

Well Black America is on target to receiving the same permanent solution as the Children of Israel received. Are you happy about that?

You need to embrace the permanent solution of Black America’s sovereign and get all that other stuff out of your mind of whining and complaining all the time.

Get with me and support me as did some of the intelligent Hebrews did with Moses instead of blaming Obama.

@Harry

I don't need to join your mission because according to our beliefs it aint going to happen.

Not because I support the so-called whiteman's system. Because soon the Righteous Kingdom will appear on earth and the Israelites will be the rulers of the earth.

America is old news and is in rapid decline.....

I don't concern myself with an entity that will soon have an expiration date.

However my motivation comes from the words and prophesy of the Most High!!!!

Yaiqab----

Trayvon Benjamin Martin was tracked, and Murdered by George Zimmerman
-----------Ist Degree Murder in myMind.............and should be avenged!!!

but

Our President -Americans' Greatest President - Baraaka Hussein Obama should not and will not go to Sanford Florida

because, in my opinion

Trayvon Benjamin Martin was in Sanford RATHER than Miami because He had been SUSPENDED from High School for 10 DAYS as a Marijuana Smoker.......IN Miami Public Schools

because

Mr. Tracy Martin WAS not at home and supervising HIS SUSPENDED son for Marijuana Possession!

He did not KNOW something was going on in the complex of his girlfriend?
He did not find his son that night(at the morgue), "because he thought he was with his brother"?

WHAT IRRESPONSIBILITY and (bs)--- do you WANT Our President to Step into?

powell robert Friday, July 19th 2013 at 7:31PM


well I guess he was at the time of my last writing

AGAIN

GREATEST citizen of Democracy that America Ever Produced......President Baraaka Hussein Obama

Marijuana Arrest Stats Based on Race

E-mail Print PDF





By Dianne Anderson

The buzz around the bud lately is that if it becomes legalized, where will all the black people go?

Cannabis, known as the “the joint,” is often physiologically compared to a single glass of wine, and as popular in America as ever--the place where blacks also bear the brunt of possession arrests three times more than whites.



Jon Gettman, Ph.D., public policy analyst and adjunct professor in criminal justice at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, reports that blacks indulge in the weed about one-fourth more than whites, but are three times more likely to be arrested for it.

With an overall marijuana incarceration rate that has doubled since 1991, at last national count in 2007 whites were arrested at 195 per 100,000 while blacks are at 598 per 100,000 for possession of marijuana. In general, youths age15 to 24 made up over half of all possession arrests.

“Blacks account for 12% of the population, 14% of annual marijuana users, and 31% of marijuana possession arrests,” the report states. “While these are national survey figures it is unlikely that local variances in the prevalence of marijuana use among blacks and whites account for the tremendous disparities in arrest rates.”
In other research, Gettman cites over 21 million pot plants were grown in 2006 statewide, with an estimated $14 billion street value. In California, his recent report finds77% of cases drew a ticket and a $100 fine. In 2006, of the 51,838 charged with marijuana possession, 39,798 were cited, and 10,087 were booked.

Gettman’s study concluded, “The disproportionate arrests of blacks for marijuana offenses in the Unites States is not a local or regional phenomenon; it is a national characteristic of marijuana law enforcement, evident in every state, most counties and most local police agencies in the country.”

In January, the Assembly goes back to Sacramento for their second of three meetings around the new hot-button bill, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act.

Authored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, (D- San Francisco), AB 390 wants to decriminalize regulated usage of the seven-pointed leaf. If it passes, it faces the same control laws as alcohol, and is expected to create revenue and save the state money in the long run.

“It is time to take our heads out of the sand and start to regulate this $14 billion industry. By doing so, we can enact smart public policy that will bring much needed revenue into the state and improve public safety by utilizing our limited law enforcement resources more wisely. The move toward regulation is simply common sense,” Ammiano said in a written statement before the hearing.

Ammiano, chair of the Public Safety Committee, presented AB 390 before Assembly members last month.

Working to highlight the extent of racism in the drug war, Human Rights Watch published its report in the Stanford Law and Policy Review, and highlights the extreme disparity of incarceration in its “Race, Drugs, and Law Enforcement in the United States.”

Earlier this year, HRW cited the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration data showing that 82.6 million whites have used illegal drugs in America compared to 12.5 million African Americans. The federal estimation is that 49% of whites and 42.9% of blacks age twelve or older have used illicit drugs in their lifetimes, the report states.

“All other things being equal, if blacks constitute an estimated 13% to 20 % of the total of black and white drug offenders, they, should constitute a roughly similar proportion of the total number of blacks and whites who are arrested, convicted, and sent to prison for drug law violations. But all other things are not equal. The data demonstrate clearly and consistently that blacks have been and remain more likely to be arrested for drug offending behavior relative to their percentage among drug offenders than whites who engage in the same behavior,” the report states.

Whites in America, just by virtue of their numbers, make up about six times more than the black population and majority of drug users. However, black males were jailed six times more than white males as of 2007, and black men are 11.8 times more likely than white men to be incarcerated for drug use or possession. African Americans comprise 54 percent of all those convicted of first time drug offenses, the report states.

The federal government’s 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health also finds that 2.5 million whites sold drugs, compared to 700,000 blacks.

Bruce Mirken, spokesperson for the Marijuana Policy Project in San Francisco, said prohibition is clearly not working. Marijuana is widely accepted, and is used by many responsible adults, but it is not subject to regulation or control.

“Instead of producing tax revenue for roads, and schools and police, it produces profits for criminal gangs,” he said, adding that while the public sentiment is shifting, politicians are skittish on the issue under a strong police lobby.

The historic bill could also open the door for a future proposition to be passed by the people, similar to medical marijuana that first passed as legislation, but was vetoed by the governor before it was enacted at the ballot.

“There is precedence for those two processes having cross pollination,” Mirken said. “All of this stuff furthers this discussion. The more this issue is aired, the more the facts are put out there, the better we do.”

Still controversial, but inching forward, medical marijuana is legal under state law in 13 states, but federal policy hasn’t changed since1937 when the substance became illegal.

In California, murky areas remain, such as legal storefront dispensaries that are now being hashed out in court, he said.

“But at least there’s a sort of tolerance from the Obama Administration that they’re basically going to leave people alone if they’re clearly following their state laws,” he said.

Mirken called the race disparity between black and white arrests “hair raising,” and that there is a larger social cause of these policies.

“When you look at the differentials in unemployment and poverty rates of young black males, you have to wonder how much of that is being exacerbated by the fact that we’re giving so many of them criminal records and making them harder to employ,” he said. “It’s your tax dollars at work.”

Yaiqab

you POST many Blogs about a good MAN, good FATHER, good Husband etc
........I thank you for most on many times.....

---can you revisit my thought Above....?

hey I am an oldeMan and As a Man, Father and GrandFather of more than average American Children I am aware that in life; "a little rain must fall"

and I had a problem with

1. Trayvon Benjamin Martin was in Sanford RATHER than Miami because He had been SUSPENDED from High School for 10 DAYS as a Marijuana Smoker.......IN Miami Public Schools

2. Mr. Tracy Martin WAS not at home and supervising HIS SUSPENDED son for Marijuana Possession!

3. He did not KNOW something was going on in the complex of his girlfriend?
4. He did not find his son that night(at the morgue), "because he thought he was with his brother"?

WHAT IRRESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

can an olde Responsibly Father and Head of an American Family think this with 2013 hippityhoppers?

Harry Watley Saturday, July 20th 2013 at 1:49PM

Saint,

You asked me to read the Bible. Well, I assume that you have and are well verse. Then tell me where Black Americans is talked about in the Bible.

Black Americans are known by such labels as colored people and Negroes. Where in the Bible does it say anything about colored people or Negroes like the labels Romans, Egyptians, Persians and others? The Bible is clear about the people written in it and Black Americans who are descendents of slaves are definitely not written in the Bible.

You are an ignorant liar.

Black Americans will soon be writing our Bible if you will since we now have a genuine Prophet Harry.

Harry Watley Saturday, July 20th 2013 at 2:02PM

Stupid Robert,

What ills and inefficiencies Black Americans have can be traced back to White Americans who raised and taught Black Americans what we know.

So, what ever we are White Americans are responsible. Black Americans have never played a roll in raising and educating our selves academic and morally.

Now that we have a prophet and soon to become a sovereign people in a country of our own we can raise and educate our selves academically and morally that we now will stand responsible for our short comings if there be any stupid.

Likewise, what the Children of Israel were at the time Moses came is what the Pharaoh made of them and Moses had the responsible of cleaning them up and the 10 Commandment was one of the ways Moses cleaned them up and I have to do the same to Black Americans.

Compare apples to apples stupid.

Yaiqab Saint Saturday, July 20th 2013 at 2:45PM

@Harry

You are not a "Prophet" from God and since you are not spiritual and it's very clear you would not understand the Biblical text anyway to connect the dots........


Besides Prophets always hit the highways and byways something you refused to do.....

So by your own admission you exposed yourself.....

Afraid that your beloved so-called whiteman will lock you up in Jail or a Mental Institute or both.

The elites of the so-called white people have read the Bible extensively particularly the Caucasian so-called jews.....

Any Rabee would laugh in your face with your theories.....

Harry Watley Saturday, July 20th 2013 at 3:15PM

Saint,

You say that I am not a genuine prophet. I would like you to do more than just saying so. Put forth something that would show that I am not a prophet.

One of the things about a prophet is that they give revelation and I have given the revelation that prophets are racially different. Another revelation I gave is that Black Americans are a new race of people. And, both of these revelations are true.

So, explain why I am not a genuine first Black American prophet?

You said that prophets always hit the highways and byways. Prophet don’t follow other prophets especially if the are racially different. Every prophet has he own attitude and his own way since all prophets only follow God stupid.

Harry,

Jesus had people flocking around him. Am I right?

No one has commented on any of your last 5 blogs. Am I right?

Steve,

Would your stupid and premature logic hold up five years from now when thousand of Black Americans convert over to me?

You should be concern about the truth that I am revealing and if you think that it is not the truth then call me out stupid otherwise I am not the Jewish Jesus.

You and every one else have not been able to say that I am wrong about anything, am I right.

Harry Watley Sunday, July 21st 2013 at 12:43AM

Robert,

You are inherently stupid to think the Prophet Mohammed and his Arabian people can lead you to God when you are not an Arab man.

You don’t have the intelligence to know that only your own prophet that you are a racial match to can lead you to God. Prophet Mohammed is a racial match to his Arabian and you do not racially match Mohammed. You are seriously stupid.

You can give any body any scholarship until you correct yourself and abandon the religion of Islam and convert over to me and our religion LIFE.

Steve Williams Sunday, July 21st 2013 at 5:34AM

Uh Robert, hate to break it to you but the President made free use of "black" and "race" in his speech.

Steve Williams Sunday, July 21st 2013 at 5:37AM
