I recently followed you on twitter and am very interested in cannabis stocks and the future of cannabis. I am troubled by the above post. You used an image of a black woman as some kind of joke and also ( in my feminist opinion) posted a sign that is objectifying the female body. We are in a new era and as a privileged white male it is on you to really engage with your own isms. The cannabis space should feel safe for everyone. I really hope that you can take this in. Maybe you intent was not to harm but the images you chose to use do not reflect a trauma informed social justice understanding of the world we all inhabit.
thank you for the follow and appreciate ur perspective. honestly, just a huge fan of Sanford and Son growing up and I post pop culture references as a matter of course (it's actually how i think 24/7 tbh).
I am a woman and seriously, ignore the women like marge, because it's clear she has nothing better to do than gripe about her feelings and being so very easily offended. People need to grow up, and get a sense of humor. Anyway, I am recently came across your website and am interested in your articles in the cannabis industry, since I am invested!
Not good enough. Don't get me wrong, I am a white woman and have a lot of my own whiteness/privilege to address. We as white people unintentionally cause harm all the time. I still question the purpose of locating that bar sign and the black women as what seemed like jokes. I hope you engage in looking more deeply into your unconscious biases. As we all must do to move forward into a new dawn of more just democracy that recognizes the dignity and worth of all people.
Todd keep the sense of humor you have! Rock on !
