132 House Democrats Think Lots Of Black People Do Fentanyl

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s always interesting when Democrats start yammering on about inequities and expose what they really think about black people. Even the Elitist blacks think the black peons are a problem

132 Dems vote against bill cracking down on fentanyl, cite ‘inequities’ in criminal justice system

The House on Thursday passed legislation that would permanently classify fentanyl-related substances (FRS) as Schedule I drugs that are subject to the toughest federal prison terms and penalties, over the objection of most Democrats.

Lawmakers approved the Halt All Lethal Trafficking of Fentanyl Act in an 289-133 vote that saw 132 Democrats oppose the bill even though the White House signaled support for it. In the final vote, 74 Democrats supported the bill and only one Republican voted against it. (snip)

But during floor debate on the bill, several Democrats argued against the bill by saying the penalties it imposes for producing and selling fentanyl analogues would fall unfairly on minorities. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., said the bill is a repeat of the “war on drugs” from the 1980s that will result in jail time for “Black and Brown” people.

Apparently, these Democrats think black and brown people are selling and doing a lot of drugs. Isn’t that rather racist?

“Did we learn nothing from the war on drugs? I guess not,” she said.

“Back then we enacted ineffective and punitive laws that only worked to expand mass incarceration, mostly of Black and Brown folks,” she said. “This legislation will enact ineffective and punitive drug laws that only work to expand mass incarceration.”

Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., said Democrats support permanently classifying FRS on Schedule I, but only if the bill is “carefully designed to avoid exacerbating inequities in our criminal justice system.”

Yes, it is racist. Perhaps if Democrats weren’t trying to keep black and brown people in poverty while being reliant on Government there wouldn’t be some much crime and use of drugs in their neighborhoods.

Republicans dismissed these worries and said tough penalties against FRS need to be made permanent because tens of thousands of Americans are dying every year due to fentanyl or FRS overdoses. Report language on the bill said more than 71,000 Americans died this way in 2021.

“If you are selling fentanyl to our kids, you deserve to be incarcerated,” Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., said in response to Democrats’ arguments. “We don’t apologize for that.”

And the government needs to be going hardcore at the flow of fentanyl coming across the border and slapping massive penalties on the biggest importers and dealers. But, you know, we apparently do not want to upset all the black and brown people Democrats say are dealing and using fentanyl.
