and our other masters?
Hmmm...it couldn't be that they break the marijuana possession law two to four times as much, could it?
The first drug laws were just like the first gun control laws, racist to the core.
How about the war on auto theft, home/business burglaries, convenient store robberies, black on black murders? Is that racist, too?
Maybe if the NAACP concentrated on out of wedlock births, high school dropouts, single female households, financial responsibility, the black community wouldn’t have such a drug problem. The time for excuses is long past.
I live in a racially and ethnically mixed little neighborhood where there are a lot of mother/father/children black and Hispanic families and they seem to be doing well. Nice cars, nice yards, friendly, take their children to school, they go to work. It really comes down to “conservative values?” They seem to work for everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity.
I think that in order to save time and effort, the NAALCP sould just tell us who or what they do NOT consider to be “racist”.
And when you are unable to support yourself, well you feel sad and how do we handle that? Drinking and drugs!
The Libs have created a self-perpetuating way to get elected. To Hell with the country, all the Libs care about is getting elected.
and if the drug war was not being fought that would be racist..........ya just caint win
Bureau of Narcotics chief Harry Anslinger actually testified before Congress in the leadup to the passage of the first federal marijuana prohibition law in 1937 that it (marijuana) makes 'white women have sex with black jazz musicians'. In this case, unlike so many others, the NAALCP's accusation of racism vis-a-vis pot prohibition is spot on.
94% of Americans don’t use drugs.
Recall the recent news story about how bad drug use had become due to the economy. “22 million Americans used drugs in the last year.” They made it sound so widespread, until you do a little math. That’s 22 out of over 300 million Americans—about 6%, or to put it another way: 94% of Americans did not use drugs in the last year.
Think the numbers are under reported? Fine, double, no triple the reported drug use. Now we’re talking a whopping 18%, which means 82% of Americans don’t use drugs.
Why do news stories always make drug use sound so much more that it really is? Why don’t we try trumpeting the truth for a change. It is just a small minority of Americans that use drugs.
We are dealing with the worlds dumbest man here,what more would you expect?They have been given everything ,Lowered every standard so we can’t compete in the world market,now want the LAWS changed just for them.
Suggestion NAACP grow a brain so you can function in a normal society!
ANY group that bases advancement on skin color has no right to call anything racist.
As always, that crowd blames its self-induced failure on Whitey. Year after year goes by, and that crowd continues doing what keeps it from succeeding. And year after year the race-hucksters keep blaming the failure on Whitey. And year after year it gets worse no matter how much money is extracted through White Guilt.
With the strictest drug laws in place crime in the black communities dropped significantly.
The black elites want to reverse that trend and inflict the murderous drug dealers back into their communities to prey on the citizenry.
When drugs became a serious problem in inner-city areas, these groups complained that law enforcement officials were "racist" because they were ignoring the problem.
When police departments at all levels of government began cracking down on drug trafficking, they are now considered "racist" because so many minorities are getting arrested, convicted and incarcerated.
I wish these people would grow up and make up their minds.
I can say one thing though: In NYC, there are often “welcome wagons” set up near buildings where suspected dealing is going on. EVERYONE coming out is stopped and searched without any other evidence. These are never used in a “white” neighborhood. Even with obvious dealing going on. It's too easy for cops to plant drugs in those situations.
Not lunancy at all. The War on the Drugs represents the worst sort of police state/nanny state and blacks are the primary victims. The only “lunancy” is that all too many conservatives don’t realize this.
Everything be racist.
Just like locking up criminals. As 13% of the US population accounts for 50%+ of the crime, it MUST be racism at work!!! Couldn’t POSSIBLY be FACTUAL!!!
