When poverty is endemic in a modern industrial economy, it is tied to two things. Broken families, and substance abuse.
Add to that a generational welfare mentality and you have a toxic morass that is very difficult to climb out of.
There are NO honky’s in jail for drugs or drug trafficing . . . /sarc
Another washed up hag needs attention~~~maybe “Dancing with the Stars” ~ah forget it.
If one accepts Ms Sarandon’s analogy then she has marked herself as one giant hypocrite for surely abortion is racist by her same standard.
Aren’t blacks the rich dealers?
Aren’t blacks being racist for dealing drugs to poor white users?
This bullshit. If the only ones getting locked-up were the “lower level” scum then there would be nobody out there with guns shaking down and killing people for pennies.
And may I suggest that even if it were legal they would STILL be shaking people down and killing them to get money for their fixes.
> My dad would try to find racism in anything.
The rest of your comments are too funny. I had a Dad who carried over the seeds of racism from his forefathers who were slave owners and he was pretty much the same way (I figured out it was learned behavior later). Funny thing is one of my best friends was black after I got out of high school and I ended up playing guitar with him in an all black band in my twenties. I found out that if I didnt feel tense around them or act different that we got along just fine.
I’d rather have a respectful God fearing Blackman as my next door neighbor than a foul mouthed redneck any day... lol
Liberals are PO’d that reality opposes them.
Reality is racist.
Drug criminalization obviously hasn't de-infested those neighborhoods - and it has motivated crime by hyperinflating the price of drugs, and by channeling hyperinflated drug profits into criminal hands.
Perhaps - but certainly the lower the price, the less that will happen.
“Actors. Is there anything they don’t know?”
LOL!
Did liberal Susan ever stop to think that if you don’t use illegal drugs you don’t get locked up no matter what color you are?
Furthermore, if I knew the authorities were going out of their way to arrest people of my ethnic persuasion for possessing some illegal substance, do you seriously believe I'd mess with that stuff?
she doesn’t have libertarian tendancies..
she has lack of brain cell tendancies...
