AOC Says Olympic Ban On Marijuana Is ‘Racist’

[Rigby5]

So adhering to a policy that’s been there forever is racist? You know the rules, so don’t break them if you don’t want any punishment. Swim caps for “natural hair”? Try wetting your hair before putting the cap on. Hair never seems to bother the top swimmers. What stupid thing will be the subject of the next complaint?

No, they have not always checked for pot.
She did not know they checked for pot and it is not well known that they do.
Wetting the cap before putting it on defeats the whole point of the cap, and also does not make the cap large enough to fit unless it is simply a bigger size.
Hair does not bother swimmers who cut their hair short.

 

[WEATHER53]

It’s about the USA and not her thoughts of her own special uniqueness.

 

[Rigby5]

How many times do we gotta say the same thing?
If the special minority does not want to follow the law or rules then the law or rule is racist
Now maybe 15 years ago some discussion would occur about the aggrieved party trying to follow the rules or laws but that ship has sailed.

Wrong.
The whole point is that different races have different cultures, like values.
And the whole anti-pot thing is a racists European cultural thing that is wrong.
Even Europe now things anti-pot is wrong.
The US is one of the last hold outs, and that is based on pilgrim and puritan religious insanity of the US.

No, its about those in the USA who are wealthy, racist, puritanical, and fascist.
They have to make pot illegal because it is too Rastafarian.

That rule about pot is not new. It’s been there for a decade or more. With previous suspensions. There was no new punishment added. If you don’t know that rule as a former collegiate athlete now trying to make the Olympics, that makes YOU a moron. I didn’t say wet the cap, wet your HAIR. You’re jumping in water anyway, so that shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

Does she not realize that George Washington smoked weed? It wasn't till the greedy democrats figured out they couldn't tax it, so they made it illegal. Lol

This isn't about whether grass is legal or not.

Ifs about whether its against the rules in regards to the Olympics.

That is the whole point, since pot is legal and not a performance enhancing drug, then the Olympics have no reason to ban them.
Rules have to make sense, not be based on what a particular culture likes or does not like.
That IS racism when you apply a value from one culture onto another, by force, for no reason.

With long hair, a cap may be more than just to keep your hair dry, but with most people, that is all a swim cap is for, to keep your hair dry.
So wetting your hair would make the cap pointless with short hair.

The rule may be not new, but it is senseless now that pot is legal and there is no basis for testing for it.
Pot is used in inner cities way more than white suburbs, so then a pointless pot restriction is totally racist.

You can tax pot, and they do now.
But pot has always been associated with Blacks, by way of the Caribbean.
Pot laws have always been racist.

Black people aren't the only folks who like to get loaded on grass you know. In actuality, it transcends over all races and ethnicities. Neither Cheech nor Chong are blacks, yet are renowned for their toking aptitude.

I have always associated Crack Cocaine with black people, after watching New Jack City and other films about the drug.

First off, IOC did not ban this woman from competing, the US Track and Field Association suspended her for the marijuana result. However, had she tested positive for marijuana at the Olympics, she would have been disqualified.

In either case, marijuana is hardly a performance enhancing substance. In fact if somebody wins an athletic competition while stoned, it’s really fucking amazing.

The greater likelihood is that she smoked pot a day or two before being tested. THC stays in your system for days. You can test positive for up to three days after you’ve smoked.

While don’t agree that this whole thing is racist, it is stupid. Incredibly stupid. The woman set a new world record and they have tossed her off the team.

First off, AOC said the IOC banned the woman, read the fricken tweet. The only thing(s) stupid are AOC for her comment and you for attempting to defend what is clearly against the rules.

What is your problem? I did read the tweet. The tweet says the IOC banned her and that’s incorrect. Which I pointed out.

The IOC will strip you of your medals if you test positive for marijuana which is ridiculous. Marijuana isn’t a performance enhancing drug.

There have been cases of figure skaters taking the wrong cough medicine and getting suspended.

By all means come down on athletes using performance enhancing drugs, but let’s not be stupid here.

She knew the rules. An athlete at that level has to be aware of everything they put in their body due to all the drug tests.

"racist and colonial policy".

She is truly a low hanging fruit idiot. Here is the danger, there is a more than an inconsequential number of Americans who imagine her one day being the President.

Yet she dictates the policy of the Demonrats party, thus America. Truly the idiots are in power.

"The criminalization and banning of cannabis is an instrument of racist and colonial policy," Ocasio-Cortez said Friday. "The IOC [International Olympic Committee] should reconsider its suspension of Ms. Richardson and any athletes penalized for cannabis use."

All the hub blub is just another reason to completely legalize pot. There is no valid argument for keeping it illegal. It's rampant, it's everywhere. people who use it will use it.

Must keep the populace sedated.

If you believe that people know what's best vs the govt, most people want it legalized. Present an argument against it.
