Benefit vs blame is not a weird distinction unless you are just grouping all white people as one entity.
Would be even better for cannabis companies to work for the release of people arrested on drug charges and then hire them. Even better if they admit they’re benefitting from decades of using police violence to hurt the competition.
Pretty sure that's not the fault of a legal dispensary in the 2020s.
Is this trolling or not? Clearly wealthy white people are the beneficiaries policing. It’s ridiculous to believe otherwise.

Ben and Jerry’s is in on the conversation too.
I think Ph's point is absolutely valid. I blame local, state and the national government for not addressing this from the beginning. The companies seem to be tuned in and in agreement with Ph's concerns.
I wish more white people could have a discussion about institutional discrimination without trying to explain how it's not their fault. Just do something about it.
I dunno. That old testament god was a real asshole.
A fucking men.
It annoys the fuck out of me about how protective white people are of the legacy of their ancestors. Your relatives did some pretty terrible shit, had awful opinions, and if there is a heaven they probably didn't end up there because the god described in the Bible is putting up with their racist/bigoted/misogynist shit.
They sucked. Deal with it.
tax hike proposed....https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/22/business/economy/biden-taxes.html
39.6% top rate, plus the SAME rate on cap gains. I don't see a chance in hell of this passing as written. Raising the ordinary rate seems likely; raising the corporate rate too....but not that cap gains tax. I'd say it gets raised back to 28% max.
