    The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity."

    The $30 million grant program, which closed applications Monday and will begin in May, will provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to help make drug use safer for addicts. Included in the grant, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, are funds for "smoking kits/supplies." A spokesman for the agency told the Washington Free Beacon that these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and "any illicit substance."

    Buying votes with free crack pipes. Ensuring equal opportunity for illegal drug use. Can it get any more absurd than this?

    You know this will probably save more money right? Fund safe ways to get drugs, and use drugs, and at the same time connect them with resources that can help them with addiction. Stigmatizing and criminalizing drug users hasn't worked for decades. Arguably the past 50 years taught us that criminalizing drug users does not work. But what does work and helps lower costs? Helping drug users safely access those drugs.

    *facepalm*

    Well, not much different then the distribution of clean needles to junkies.

    I wonder if there is a program for people who pay their bills, save a couple of bucks each month, don't drink or smoke and pay their taxes....

    Reading between the lines, Democrats are essentially saying that black people are crack addicts without pipes, and white crack addicts are privileged to their ability to afford pipes.

    The justification given is the most racist I could conjure up. How did they top Joe Rogan for most racist news of the day?

    Your assertion about saving money is based on your apparent belief that the Federal Government must perform roles that go way beyond their Constitutional scope. The way to save money is to limit the role of the Federal Government to functions established by the US Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it say the Government should pay for crack pipes? Perhaps liberals should set up a charity to buy crack pipes for crack users instead of wanting to spend taxpayer money to enable recreational drug use.

    Always, liberals propose to save money by spending money. Yet somehow the US gets deeper in debt and still more spending.

    Appears the “racial equity” claim is just overt racism by the author. I’d urge the OP to spend less time on these blatantly racist RW blogs.

    I don’t care about your “ constitutional argument”. The feds can spend money on improving the general welfare of citizens. And yes it will save money. Because unsafe drug usage leads to things like STIs, infections and other social diseases. So give them safe pipes to use and at the same time you can connect them to resources to help get them off drugs.

    They quoted "Racial Equity" from the speech. We all know Democrats are really talking about one group.

    Dude... I'm trolling at this point. Biden is not a serious person. The Democrat Party is joke. They can't anything done and they're trying start a nuclear war. You guys doing great. Keep it up.

    I think all of this is just stupid - let’s decriminalize all drugs and then talk about using the savings from disbanding DEA towards such purposes.

    Do they have the funds to spend that money on crack pipes? Are they going to be taking that money from Covid-19? I think this is really about Democrats buying votes from crackheads. lol. It's called the Hunter Biden Crackhead Initiative.

    I noticed today that the Biden Administration has decided to stop hospitals from counting Covid-19 cases. I guess Democrats want to fake more statistics.

    These pipes will make it safer for people, but there's literally hundreds of things to spend money on.

    At best this unethical behavior by an administration that's about to start nuclear. Nothing they has any real merit. They're just panicking cause they've royally screwed themselves.

    "Dad, you know what would be really cool? Free crack pipes!"

    "What's a crack pipe, son?"

    "Don't worry about it, just sign right here...."

    see the quotations before and after racial equity
    do you understand the purpose of those quotations? it is to let the reader know those are words used by the Biden admin. not the articles author
    did you not learn that in school or were you to busy trying to remember the hundreds of pronouns you are required to use?

    Is this a serious argument or is this just some strawman? I am genuinely confused.

    Hunter is about to get a birthday gift. I guess Joe will have to send it to their investment company in China.

    Don’t defend racism just because you enjoy the racist blog that spouts it

    I’m denying the overt racism in the OP is something we should promote in this forum. You wanna defend it then go ahead. Btw most crack users are white

    You can’t take a quote out of context and attach it to something else and pretend it’s anything but dishonest and racist.
    Just say you like the racism from the blog and stop wasting our time.
