They think anything we do is a result of no personal responsibility, and culture, where as they’re the real victims of the system.Here's the thing you would think that white people would be much more wise about drugs after seeing what drugs have done to the black community. You know the whole thing with crack and all.
They would never see anything that happens to us, and apply it to themselves.
I read The New Jim Crow, and at the time the 3 prison industrial complex started, white people were doing more cocaine, and black people were doing more crack, and look which drug got the harsher sentence.White people have always been the main drug users, we were just made the face of it with crack. But whites smoked hella crack too. Always heavy on the coke and prescription pills as well.
I’m square too, and not only were the bad health explanations enough for me to never smoke, but the smell of cigarettes is disgusting. I don’t even like riding in cars with people who smoke. I don’t want my clothes to smell like that. And if someone gets in my car and asks if I mind if they smoke, I say yes I do mind. And I won’t date women who smoke either, and how the hell are people economically stressed, yet still buying cigarettes?Tbh, call me a square or lame, whatever but I legit don't understand how people still pickup the habit of cigarettes these days, as a guy who's not mid thirties.

I’ve seen this too, but upper middle class kids of other races aren’t doing hard drugs like that. At most, they’re smoking weed, and drinking.I'm white. Some of the answers in here are reaching.
We do drugs because we're bored.
Read that again. White people have nothing better to do so we do drugs.
I grew up in a poor city until high school when I moved to an affluent suburb.
My friends from the city would smoke weed and drink. Thats it.
My friends from the burbs would do that then throw in some acid, mushrooms, oxy, or whatever else they could get their hands on. Simply because they had the money for it and they had nothing better to do with their day.
Rich people do more drugs than poor people.![]()
Part of is it white people are allowed (weird way to put it) to get further along in their drug usage because they're not constantly living in a police-state like black folks.
I’m convinced crime statistics would be drastically different if white people were monitored by the police more.
