The war on drugs is a war on minorities and the poor. The numbers don’t lie. The Civil Rights movement won a major victory in the late sixties, and in the early seventies we began to wage the war on drugs. We didn’t miss a beat.
— E.D. Kain
It’s an absolute immorality that the “war on drugs” is slanted so heavily against minorities, especially poor blacks. Marijuana is a clear example of this, but there are others: the penalties for crack cocaine are ten times the penalties for powder cocaine, and about twice as many arrests are made for crack cocaine as for powder. Guess which one is used by poor minorities and which is used by whites?
