Come on, man. The obvious implication is that weed use has been supposedly forced on blacks because of the alleged trauma they face due to white supremacy. If the black relationship to weed wasn't unique, why would King even make the statement? King is implying that black circumstance leads to marijuana use. Ok, fine, but if that's the reality on the ground, then it's going to manifest in law enforcement interactions with blacks who deal with marijuana.

The penalties for drug offenses might be part of the leftist conception of a "racist drug war", but the usage rates are constantly trotted out as being the SAME between blacks and whites when ARREST rates are discussed.
