Kansas Rep Steve Alford says african americans cant handle weed cause genetics

christ man.

"going back to the 30's. african americans were users and they responded the worst to the drug. its because their character makeup. their genetics"

“What you really need to do is go back in the ’30s, when they outlawed all types of drugs in Kansas [and] across the United States,” Alford said, according to the Garden City Telegram. “One of the reasons why, I hate to say it, was that the African-Americans, they were basically users and they basically responded the worst off to those drugs just because of their character makeup, their genetics and that.”

Doubt it.

His district is overwhelmingly white and he's already issued an apology. Doubt he'll go down in flames.

And you posted a video so we can hear him talking this way. ty .

Anytime you start a sentence with, "and I hate to say this." You know it's going to be bad. lol

Apolog y

I may be wrong though, because it looks like he's already resigned one of his Chairmanships.

But, I'm still willing to bet that if he goes, it'll be a resignation rather than being recalled or voted out.

Yah whoops, quickly redacted his statements, not his opinion.

This guy's only education on weed and drugs is when he watched Reefer Madness when it was new.

thanks

so he said this first

I’m not going make any more remarks about that. To me, that’s neutral. Basically, I got called a racist, which I’m really not, and it’s just the way people—the interpretation of people. To me, I’m trying to look at what’s really the best for Kansas.

then the sorries

“I was wrong, I regret my comments, and I sincerely apologize to anyone whom I have hurt,” he said in the statement. “Substance abuse is a blight on our society, and legalizing marijuana only opens the door to harder drugs. I have seen firsthand how drug abuse destroys lives, even within my own family, and I remain committed to fighting the spread of addiction in our state.”

sure buddy

# this dude

he also said

He even went so far as to argue that jazz musicians were creating “Satanic” music all thanks to the influence of pot.

what an asshole

Shut up Steve.

My weed stocks take a hit because of you I might have to move to Kansas and vote you out.

Are you sure you wanna give him this much credit? He's probably just seen a few Cheech and Chong movies.

This is the guy who probably keeps a bottle of bourbon in a desk drawer for his morning coffee.

Politicians are so because they're not good at anything else but being idiots.

What I'm curious about is... What brought you to the point that made you think "I'm going to google 'black people can't handle their weed'"? I have to know this.


Think before you respond. Someone might call you racist

i dont give a # what people call me
i saw the story so i posted the vid THEN i searched black people cant handle their weed hoping to come across a gem. only came across this dude

katt williams came up in the image search too
the dj porter remix is gold
you should check it out

I'm so glad that this happened, and that it was recorded.
Seems he felt comfortable enough in his surroundings to let the genie out of his bias bottle.
He can apologize all he wants for saying it out loud. But he said it because thats what he really thinks.
And not just that, I believe he expected others in the room to nod in agreement.
I'm pretty sure i did hear a gasp/groan in he background.

He's toast, I think.

An old racist Republican from the South?
