😁I'd honestly be worried if people like you weren't frustrated when reading my articles Max, so I'm delighted you feel that way. It's that little bit more evidence that I'm doing something right. The source of your frustration is that your thinking is limited and one-sided. I can’t force you to fix that unfortunately.

But to be clear, one doesn't need to be "harmlessly smoking a doobie" to not deserve to go to prison for life for marijuana possesion. Three strike law or not, that's a broken system. Nor does this address the central point, which is that black people are over three times as likely to be arrested for it.

Of course, in your mind, this is in "no way proven" to be related to racism. And there's no way to prove it to you. After all, as we've already agreed, you’ll only be satisfied if I say that racism doesn't exist. I promise you, I want this to be true more than you do. It simply isn't. The lip service you pay to wanting to "help people" rings incredibly hollow.

I see from your comment history that you didn't take my advice last time and continue to get your kicks from race-baiting on Medium. It's sad, but to be fair, I partly understand. If I didn't have better things to do with my life, I might also be tempted to waste my time arguing with some of the worst takes I see here. But thankfully I do.
