AOC says Olympic ban on marijuana is 'instrument' of racism following Black track star's suspension

Since oxycontin is associated with the White Race ( its referred to as hillbilly heroin), should the limitations on that drug also be lifted as "racist" by the IOC?
 

First off, IOC did not ban this woman from competing, the US Track and Field Association suspended her for the marijuana result. However, had she tested positive for marijuana at the Olympics, she would have been disqualified.

In either case, marijuana is hardly a performance enhancing substance. In fact if somebody wins an athletic competition while stoned, it’s really fucking amazing.

The greater likelihood is that she smoked pot a day or two before being tested. THC stays in your system for days. You can test positive for up to three days after you’ve smoked.

While don’t agree that this whole thing is racist, it is stupid. Incredibly stupid. The woman set a new world record and they have tossed her off the team.
 
So adhering to a policy that’s been there forever is racist? You know the rules, so don’t break them if you don’t want any punishment. Swim caps for “natural hair”? Try wetting your hair before putting the cap on. Hair never seems to bother the top swimmers. What stupid thing will be the subject of the next complaint?

First off, AOC said the IOC banned the woman, read the fricken tweet. The only thing(s) stupid are AOC for her comment and you for attempting to defend what is clearly against the rules.
 
Stupid yes racist no. The irony here is the suspended Sha’Carri Richardson has handled the situation with far more maturity and class than many of the knuckleheads trying to speak in her defense as we see with this from the queen of the knuckleheads. I sincerely hope the powers that be will take note of this and consider reversing their decision.

Agreed I was very impressed with her statements
 
Yet, in 2009 a white athlete was punished for the same thing.
Doesn't sound racist to me. Rather, ensuring all players from all nations are required to be drug free.

Wrong.
It is not just racist, but illegal, immoral, and dictatorial.
The only thing the Olympics should be concerned with is physical enhancement drugs, which pot is not.
The pot was used in OR, where is was legal.
Many drugs like pot, have ritual native purposes, so it is racist.
Drugs are criminalized due to the fact they are a poor man's choice for recreation.
The wealthy can do skydiving, skiing, water skiing, skin diving, etc.
 
How many times do we gotta say the same thing?
If the special minority does not want to follow the law or rules then the law or rule is racist
Now maybe 15 years ago some discussion would occur about the aggrieved party trying to follow the rules or laws but that ship has sailed.
