I think most of our politicians are on crack.
Coke is not crack, seems like semantics, but the Rich do not see them the same. It wasn't a war on drugs to stop cocaine pouring into the US being used by white communities, it was to stop crack being used by poorer people of color. If drugs had stayed expensive and exclusive to white folks Regain wouldn't have felt as strongly for sure.
The same thing with unemployment/social security being a great thing when white people had it to protect their "hard work", but when people of color got to use the same system it turned into "welfare queens" based on a the story of a single black woman that abused the system.
The entire war on drugs was to limit liberal political power from day 1. The racism was only part of it.
And now it’s . . . . whatever the fuck this is.
