Not only did he explain social equity wrong. He is okay with this narrative. Racism is real folks.

What are your thoughts on this ? Is #SocialEquity All bad?

The City of Seattle created a Race-Based Toolkit to lay out a process and a set of questions to guide the development, implementation, and evaluation of policies, initiatives, programs, and budget issues to address the impacts on racial equity.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to support minority-owned cannabis businesses as one very, very small step in undoing the damage that the war on drugs has disproportionately done to the black community and other communities of color. Unfortunately, there are very few minority-owned marijuana businesses here in Washington state, and only two are black-owned.
