Same target market as abortion, droopy.
Well she is right in one way. It is a stupid war and should be stopped. She is wrong that it is racist. It is not the fault of the law that blacks are the most likely to break it.
This line of thinking directly leads to the point that the War on the Unborn is Racist.
Who knew Susan Sarandon had libertarian tendencies?
Yeah, well cotton is racist too cause it’s WHITE. About as bright a comment as saranwrap made.
But if the police ignores crime in a minority neighborhood, that’s racist also
The war on drugs might not be working but the reason is not racism. It is because we have too many dopers like her which were spawned from her generation.
Poor kid.
Her mind was never the same after the Rocky Horror Show.
The once-formerly lovely and well endowed Hollyweird actress comes forth with another intellectually brilliant charge against normal, law abiding Americans.
Susan Sarandon, a white, priviledged, millionaire is proxy-offended for urban blacks.
And, which urban balcks have asked this white, priviledged, millionaire to speak and be offended on their behalf.
Some y’all negroes need to wake-up and speak-out. Us rednecks are plain embarrassed at these fools who open their mouths “on your behalf”.
Actors! What don’t they know?

Sarandon is a fool — she has proven that over and over again. But I have to say as a conservative who rarely takes the cries of “racism” seriously, that there is some truth to the idea that the application of drug laws impacts the poor and blacks much worse than it impacts rich and middle class whites. We all see the stories about how rich and famous white adults and kids usually get off, or get a second chance, and poor and blacks are more likely to have the book thrown at them. I don’t think racism is the reason for the policies, but I personally can’t deny that they impact poor and blacks harder than rich and whites.
She's right about that - too bad she had to play the stupid race card.
Sarandan is a fine example of idiocy. She once said that she taught her then-young daughter that there IS NO GOD!
Now she has the audacity to say that the people in this country are racist.
Personally, I am tired of the Federal Gov’t protecting other people from their bad choices. It applies to everything from drugs to welfare. The greatest irony is that the more our Gov’t tries to “help,” the worse the problem becomes.
Perhaps it is time for the cost of lack of personal responsibility to increase greatly.
I am absolutely against drugs, and my kids know and understand it 100%. I have never relied on Uncle Sam to do my work as a parent.
I am happy to hear that she is alive still, at her age.
Susan doesn’t have to live in the drug/crime infested neighborhoods. It’s easy to have such lofty, enlightened opinions from the safety of Malibu, Beverly Hills, or some other gated, patrolled community in CA.
It was “black community leaders” that called for the criminalization of crack cocaine 20+ years ago, because they wanted the dealer locked up and kept away from the community. Perhaps Susan ought to remember that.
