No, it wasn’t a black thing. But it WAS more of an urban thing. And a celebrity thing. I grew up in the suburbs in the 70’s and heroin wasn’t even something anyone even contemplated.

It wasn’t *only* a black thing. But it was primarily a black thing, before the crack epidemic began in the 80’s. For opioids, it’s primarily been a white thing for a couple of decades now, with Rush Limbaugh probably the most famous white celebrity hooked on the drug class, until he kicked the habit.
