“So, why are the prisons full of black and brown kids?”

Outstanding question! Maybe they are doing other stuff, and the drug charges are on top of them! Rape, murder, theft, every single other crime you can name! Maybe, just maybe, that has something to do with it. Do these people live in the real world? Spend some time in the courthouses and emergency rooms. Hell, just walk around for a little while, though I strongly recommend you go armed. There are no secrets, except the ones you choose to keep from yourself.

Paul completely ignores secondary factors such as gang violence, other criminal activity, and generational poverty (created by leftist policies) that explains the reason why blacks and browns are incarcerated more than whites.

I agree with you, but the biggest gaffe that Rand is making using unproven surveys on drug use. These surveys that Rand alludes to are SELF professed. They aren’t surveys based on actual test findings. What is found by actual tests is that drug users will frequently lie about their usage.

Rand Paul is becoming more of a waffling lefty every day. I wonder what is in his closet that he doesn’t want Obama to release?
