Billy-Ray Cyrus’s weed stash picture perfectly illustrates “white privilege”
With daughter Miley’s approaching wedding, proud dad and country singer, Billy-Ray Cyrus shared an image of the preparations he hand his wife have been making for her wedding reception.

Did I say “wedding”? I meant “weeding”, because that is what’s known in the business as an enormous stash.
The thought occurred to quite a lot of people that such a large amount of marijuana would almost certainly result in a hefty custodial jail sentence for people of colour, despite being passed over when tweeted by a rich white man.
Think of all the people incarcerated right now on marijuana charges. And you wonder why so many people understand that criminal justice is often neither fair nor just. https://t.co/mKNpzxGEVk

Can we look forward to tweet announcing that you’ve laid groundwork for the Cyrus Foundation to offer legal assistance to help shorten sentences of those serving major time for pot possession? Or, that you’ve donated to politicians who support de-criminalizing? Then we celebrate

Perhaps he’s so stoned he thinks he’s using an iPhone.
