So you're saying that the problem is people trivialized the civil rights movement and THAT'S why the voting process does not work...but you totally ignore those things I listed? Which have been pointed out time and time again as reasons why there are so many irregularities in voting? But it's somehow black people's fault that these folks don't have it within them to NOT oppress people. And it's been that way since we've been here. Okay

Irrelevant. Discussing marijuana legalization in a post about police brutality/ murder is not something I'm about to waste my time doing.
