They didn’t throw blacks in jail with tougher sentences for them to help them, that’s ridiculous. Should the drug squads descend on Appalachia to punish, I mean help, the poor there deal with opioids? Through them all in jail. Seriously, through? Where did you even go to school? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punish blacks, it’s good for them, but let Trump try and shake down another country to win an election, that’s ok.

American-Chop Suey American Chop Suey is a delicious and easy dinner recipe made with ground beef, tomato, onion, green pepper, macaroni, and spices. We call it American Chop or Chop Suey but you may have also heard of it called goulash or macaroni hamburger and tomato depending on where you live. So either way, the recipe has the same basic components and is a classic dinner most of us grew up eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 20 hours ago, billsfan1959 said: You're an idiot and delusional. LOL Let's not stop, I have more. The whole war on drugs is just a human rights disaster. Quote Washington (CNN)One of Richard Nixon's top advisers and a key figure in the Watergate scandal said the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight blacks and hippies, according to a 22-year-old interview recently published in Harper's Magazine. "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday. "You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." Ehrlichman's comment is the first time the war on drugs has been plainly characterized as a political assault designed to help Nixon win, and keep, the White House. https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-richard-nixon-drug-war-blacks-hippie/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also no doubt the war on drugs and crime in general have long been used for political purposes - as has any issue that can be politicized in any way. It still doesn't change my stance on the development of sentencing guidelines regarding crack cocaine. We are just going to have to agree to disagree.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "a government tool aimed at the black community." If you mean an overarching motivation of harming/oppressing them in some way because of their race, then I would say (1) nothing would surprise under Nixon; however (2) I don't see any evidence of that in, what I would consider, modern law enforcement times. If you mean legislation/enforcement of drug laws aimed at communities, that happen to be primarily black (we should add Hispanic/Latino communities as well), because of the intertwined relationship between drugs and violent crime in those communities, then I would say yes. There is more than a nuanced distinction between the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I recall an Eddie Murphy skit from SNL on "white privilege". This is from 1984 and I found a clip of it here on youtube. While its comedy it provides a glimpse into the mindset of the black community and their perception of how they are disadvantaged by what they believe is some covert social order working behind the scenes. If you're white I'm sure you'll find all the scenarios very familiar! Especially the bank scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
