Every city has former D Boys who went straight and opened businesses, but opening a few small businesses and creating infrastructure/institutions are two different things.
As black people, creating a LARGE infrastructure, and the money coming from drugs, is not going to happen. The war on drugs is nothing but the war on black people. It has finally been admitted by a Nixon aide. Others such as Italians, Jews, and Asians, didn't have the fight we did, and still do. In fact some of them conspired with the government to hold us back.
That's why blacks who do go legit, and build up businesses that are maintained for decades, or they go on to do other things, they get the highest props from me. Everyone else has it easy, except certain Latins. A black drug dealer who makes it without getting caught, or doing serious time(without snitching), is the BEST OF THE BEST.
Report: Nixon aide says war on drugs targeted blacks, hippies - CNNPolitics.com
""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."
