“I want to see all drugs legalized”
Wow. Strike 1.
“You want a shot at getting some black votes for conservative policies and politicians? How about coming out against the drug war?”
LOL. You’re saying “blacks like drugs so legalize drugs then they’ll vote for you”? You do need to learn to be more pragmatic. Life isn’t like that.
Strike 1 against Thomas Sowell as well? He also favors legalizing all drugs.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said that "blacks like drugs so legalize drugs then they'll vote for you". I never even inferred it. If you're going to INFER something from what I said, here's a hint: DON'T put it in quotes. That is DISHONEST. I never said that black people like drugs. In fact, every study I've seen has said that white people actually use them at a higher rate. But black people comprise the majority of people put in prison for non-violent drug crimes. If we ended the Drug War, we could give these people a chance to succeed. As Milton Friedman said, many of the neighborhoods in inner cities are horrible, and they were nowhere near as bad before the War on Drugs and War on Poverty really kicked into gear. We need to end both wars. We needed to end them 20 years ago.
He ran when confronted with facts.
