Oh sweet summer child, everyone smokes weed. Cannabis prohibition was about giving police the power to arrest anyone they want to - and they used that power to arrest Black people.

And if you don't smoke weed? Well what about this little baggy we "found in your pocket"?

I really, really, really hate the phrase "Oh sweet summer child". Is it possible to be any more patronizing? Couldn't you just say it normally?

Not that I care about either of you guys or your argument, but I gotta point out that it's a phrase intended to be insulting and condescending. You're just letting the other guy know they got to you by writing this.

Based, but I never denied that. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I've unironically seen people saying stuff like this without realizing that it has a negative connotation.

I guess the fact that you were more willing to believe that Black people have a natural inclination towards drug use than to understand that cops are bad leads me to the conclusion that you aren't a great person with smart ideas, and didn't see the necessity in being super nice about it when responding to you.

I could have laid into you for the racist-leaning narrative, but instead I insinuated that you were naïve, so truthfully I did give you the benefit of a doubt in regard to the racially insensitive question you asked.
