African American? Is that code for black people? What do you call a black person whose family came from Haiti? What about those who came from the Bahamas? Wouldn't calling them African Americans be a slander? They don't call black people in Canada African Canadians, or those in France, African French, or those in England African British.

I don't request people call me English American, I'm just plain American since I was born here.

Have you ever met a black person that requested you call them African that weren't born there?

Meh, if I meet a black person the last thing I'm going to mention would be race. That'd be really awkward:

Person1:Hey man, nice day right?
Person2: Yeah man, having a good one?
Person1: Yeah, so...you're black?

I remember reading a news article several years ago where some white American female liberal went to Africa.

She didn't want to use the label "black,so she kept referring to the natives as African Americans.

A black man walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The barkeeper says "Awesome, where'd you get that?" The parrot says "Caw, Africa, there's millions of them."

I have this movie based on Buck's life.

Killjoy

When a black teen is bullied to death, a white clown named Killjoy exacts revenge in his honor; who thinks murder is a laughing matter.

It's been a while since I've been active in the forums, mostly due to the fact that I stopped growing. However, I have taken up a new cause. There are quite a few initiative petitions currently with FL Division of Elections approved format. The one in particular that I am apart of is called Florida Organization of Reform (F.O.R.), however, we do tell everyone to sign every approved cannabis petition. The following link will take you to the FL Division of Elections website initiative petitions list: http://dos.elections.myflorida.com/initiatives/

FOR's petition is Cannabis as a Dietary Supplement for Personal and Medical Use; Funding for Teacher Salaries.
It would allow up to 4 oz possession and 10 flowering plants. If you wanted to start a business there is a 10% sales tax; of that 10% all of it goes to teacher's salaries in the State of FL. 25% of the sales can be used for teacher new hires; effectively raising the existing teacher's salaries with remaining 75% of that sales tax. I don't know if any of you are aware but teacher salaries in the State of FL are among some of the lowest in the nation. There are also protections in the petition against asset forfeiture and for parents, DCF (Department of Children & Family) cannot remove a child simply because they possess cannabis in the house (possession or cultivation). It also allows for edibles (including oils and concentrates)

If you would like a copy of the FOR's petition it can be found by searching through the link provided above or directly with the link following: http://www.communitypac.us/uploads/3/7/3/4/37346047/approved_form_(3).pdf

And if you're interested in volunteering email: [email protected]

It's a great organization with an even better cause. I hope some or all of you will join us. I completely understand why some of you cannot, but we will carry on with you in spirit.

Adelson will defeat this just like the last time.
Take the money out of it.
Legal to possess And grow
Illegal to sell

FOR has done pretty close to that. The sales tax on sale is the lowest I've seen.

Medical pot didn't win the 60% needed votes because the anti votes were convinced the pot would be diverted to non medical.
My argument says let people supply themselves but not allow them to sell.
Eventually that can be changed as well
