@ The notion Future is the reason people are abusing opiods. Man the disdain folks have for poor black folks & perceived attached culture of poor blk folks leads to some dumb ass conclusions.Here is Dr. Carl Hart discussing opioids/opioids abuse,amongst other things...

I love you, you know.
Pretty soon folks will start using pyro, setting fires and building walled communities.

Growing up in Southside Queens I was always accustomed to seeing dope fiends, this ain't nothing new for us...Nothing to me seems like it's changed all that drastically round that way...Only thing I see more of in the city is white fiends...
I guess it's not clear to me how that's relevant to America's current opioid problem.
You noticed it’s right by the Ave in particular right? Like towards right where Sutphin starts right? I noticed it too and it’s gotten worse since you made that post
Gentrification is gonna backfire when the bougie white people that buy up fancy homes start seeing the white fiends outside their buildings sleeping, doing drugs, etc. Will be irony at its finest

A community-focused response is necessary, when there is a lack of governmental intervention.
From support groups to townhalls and information sessions, to neighborhood drug testing sites and OD-meds available.
White people are going to ignore the issue when it comes to AAs, even with it ravaging their own community.

people will turn to drugs when their life have no meaning
our people are resilient but social media has turned nikkas into soft cacs
Economic assistance is needed
You're partially right.
I don't think social media has anything to do with it though.
We have high unemployment for young Black men (18-30), disproportionately higher. We also have less community resources as a whole, a lower higher-education rate, a lower trade school rate, and a lot of young Black men and women that do work do physical labor. When injuries are high and resources are low + there isn't strong familial and community support, drug use becomes drug habituation which becomes drug addiction.
We need a cooperative economic plan.
Its been that way tho
And black men of the past weren't junkies
Social media is showing them another world in their same country they'll never have access to because of their skin color
I can see why they would turn to dog food with no guidance...i dont blame them
Addiction has always struck the AA community, I can verify this from the late 1860s on.Its been that way tho

And it started with heroin/morphine/opium.
But yeah, social conditioning plays a role.

Fukk your corny debates
The city where I’m from, there was an opioid crisis among the black underclass since before I was born and I was born in 1980. Nobody ever gave a fukk though.
Black community been suffering from the Opioid crisis since the 80’s so what’s different now?
