The Opiod epidemic vs the Crack epidemic: America’s double standard approach

[KyokushinKarateMan]

It isn't a "white mindset" it's just a mindset that doesn't see it your way. You aren't the arbiter and the final say of what is or isn't "black" anyway. I don't care how many websites and blogs you've listened to and read.

And yes, people wanted violence to end, but pre crack, violence was high, but the crack epidemic highlighted the crimes plus it became much much worse in a 5 year span. Check the stats in the crack era (basically 1985 give or take). THe homicides (using NYC as an example) NEARLY DOUBLED 2600 in 1990. It peaked, and people finally said "enough is enough." 3-4 homicides related to drugs everyday in the news. So yeah, it caught people's attention.

I lived in Philly, dope had always been around, but crack put things into hyper speed. It was new, and people did anything for it, they beat, robbed, burglarized anyone, everyone and at anytime. A lot of people got caught up in the BS with it even if they didn't sell it.

Like I said, if you weren't there to witness--you won't get it.


Addicts are a tricky issue, it isn't as cut and dry as you're making it; actual dealers (unrelated to using) were the real problem, but what defined a "dealer" was anyone in possession and involved in ANY type of sale (hand to hand, third party etc).

Dealers aren't DUMB, once they understood the laws, they set up operations with look outs and sometimes they USED addicts to recruit NEW addicts in promise of getting MORE drugs. Get it?


Crack was so in demand that users would also sale and use their own stash. Dealers in some cases became addicts themselves.

SO the law, from my observation, took all of this into account, and basically swept EVERYONE into the same pile.

Whether you agree with that or not will depend on a lot of factors.

What is your point right now?

I want you to take a really deep breath right now, and ask yourself that very question. Then reply.

Statements like this is why I don’t take you internet nikkas seriously... You ain’t got sense enough to recognize the type of nikka you having discourse with......

Your entire post is shyt, and then had to nerve to say that dealing with addicts is tricky, when these crackas just showed you that white addicts deserve empathy and treatment, while black addicts deserve contempt and jail time... you typing like a fukking chump right now

On top of it, he makes the weak assumption that he was the only one to be alive during that era as if that validates his flawed opinion

I simply posted an article young man, how did you turn around and perceive that as hostility?

What..because it didn’t agree with your misguided idea that the opiod epidemic has not increased crime in the white community?

I lost too much respect for you after that pussified comment to even read your reply any further. Have a nice day sir.

why are you pretending to be dumb. I presented an opinion you came with a slick remark, i had to regulate it…and that is that.

Then you attempted to be obtuse by attempting to compare crime rates in 2015, to those in 1990. In your brain…an increase in 2015 in the same increase in the 80s…knowing damn well it isn't even close to warrant a legit comparison.

call it "internet nikkas" all you want…you just don't know what you're talking about lol

you can't refute a single thing that i've stated, and your so hard pressed to stick to your narrative that you'll make up anything regardless of how intellectually and factually dishonest it is.

Like I said, if you can't think beyond your blogs, forums and what others have told you--then you won't get it.

Relax young man. You can kick and scream as much as you like, you will not convince mature thinking adults with actual life experience and knowledge on current events, that the approach to the opiod epidemic is not blatantly less violent, less damaging to the community, and less life altering, than the approach to the crack epidemic-

nor that the difference in approaches isn’t born solely of racial bias.

You obviously did not breathe deeply as was recommended, before replying.

I've been peeped this. There are so many programs and money being put in for the opioid crisis but the tone was different for the other demographic's drug crisis

still can't refute it huh.

atleast pretend to be literate and go back to my first post

Relax young man..

stopped reading here,

My point remains as is…comparing the enforcement in the opioid epidemic and the crack era is just retarded

 

[mykey]

Crackers are evil, souless people. Here they are openly using heroin in broad daylight in San Fransisco.


Just imagine if it was black people doing this.

Theres a lil scheme going on with cops and the opioid epidemic believe me.

The same way cops bossed up in the inner cities is how they rollin round with machine guns and shyt in the burbs. Im in jersey and cop straight told me they dont even want the dealers.

They just break all the laws to arrest you and expect you to cop out. “Body and car cams werent working that day” shyt. Knowing a fiend prolly cant get a lawyer... Its a big numbers game rn. They keeping crime outta places like AC to keep it looking good and arresst ya in the lil towns to show they tough on crime. The garden state parkway lined with cars waiting for dboys to do the drop.

They want drugs to flow keeps the OT coming. I been caught on to the scam for a while now.

Police are arming all cross america off this shyt best believe it. Ill take pics of the new riot shot they got in a peaceful shore town with lil to no crime. Cops there make 2,5x more than nyc cops working the toughest neighborhoods and only arrest nobodys. Its a hustle.
