Fox News host: Solution to high minority arrest rate is for them to smoke less pot
By David Edwards

Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Monday asserted that the solution to the arrest gap between black and white Americans was for African-Americans to smoke less marijuana.
In a recent interview with The New Yorker, the president had said that marijuana use was not “more dangerous than alcohol,” but he discouraged its use because “it’s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy.”
On Monday, conservative radio host Michael Graham told Fox News that the Obama administration “is screaming at me, ‘Put down the ice cream, stop eating those cookies!’” while he said the president was also “telling me, ‘Dude, pick up a bong, what’s the big deal.’”

Or in other words, Martha MacCallum is confirming my own observation that White people are pretty much free to smoke as much dope as they want without worrying about being targeted by the cops.
Go ahead, White Fox watching tokers, she's saying, the world is your smoke bowl.
