        He needs to give up his seat as well...tired of these Jim crow throwbacks thinking they can say whatever they want. Old white men are an endangered species because there are more people of color occupying political office and that scares them to their rotten cores.

        WTH is this guy talking about? African Americans responded poorly to marijuana because of "character makeup"? Huh? There are a million reasons to outlaw marijuana use, but if THIS is the best defense for non-use politicos can come up with, then no wonder it's being legalized.

        I would like to respectfully request that you look into the actual uses of medical marijuana. I think you'll find "millions" of reasons to legalize it not ban it.

        Yes, we’ve got Brownback as our governor, Kobach as sec of state, and this jerk in the legislature. We are so far beyond screwed it’s not even the least bit funny. But the other 49 are getting a kick out of us, so there’s that.

        Lets forever put this argument away there is nothing in genetics that says that one group is genetically superior to another. If black Africans were huns or Vikings they would have been as good if not better. Just as nubia eventually conquered Egypt. A Lab is as good as a shepard

        I happen to agree with this Congressman. If you look at the statistics, it would be perfectly normal to think that a majority of Colored Citizens have Criminal Intent in their DNA. Coloreds are 13% of US population & 70% of our Prison population. That stat speaks volumes. @NAACP.

        This isn’t racism it’s bold face truth. Why won’t the NAACP & other Colored proponents try to end a cycle of birth to prison for so many people who could actually offer so much potential & value to their/our country. Look no further then Dr. Ben Carson. How much is being wasted?

        Not saying everyone in prison is another Dr. Carson. There is a better way to live a productive crime free way to live. My thoughts always begins at a home w/caring parenting. That aspect is clearly missing from 70% of Colored families. Colored leaders unfortunately don’t care.

        He’s 75 years old. Sensitivity levels are so high around minorities that every word must be weighed before speaking. But.... it’s ok for blacks to kneel during Anthem disrespecting the entire country but.... old man, do not error in your words.
