Michelle Alexander, an associate professor of law at Ohio State University, a civil rights, advocate and writer of the 2010 book "The New Jim Crow" had this to say about the new marijuana laws: "Here are white men poised to run big marijuana businesses, dreaming of cashing in big-big money, big businesses selling weed. After 40 years of impoverished black kids getting prison time for selling weed, and their families and futures destroyed. Now, white men are planning to get rich doing precisely the same thing?"
What are your thoughts on this statement from "The New Jim Crow"?
