"Negro cocaine Fiends are a New southern Menace!" screamed Dr. Edward H. Williams in The New York Times, Feb. 8, 1914, while Harrison was in committee. Old Doc Williams didn't let the facts stand in his way: "But I believe the record of the 'cocaine nigger' near Asheville, who dropped five men dead in their tracks, using only one cartridge for each, offers evidence that is sufficiently convincing."

Yes, that was a long time ago. People are more 'enlightened since then...right?

"For those who think that the rationale of American drug law isn't inherently racist and anti-tribal, or that it's different than the industrial fascism of alcohol Prohibition, we have the KKK-supported Rep. Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama. In the 1920's Hobson was the most famous anti-heroin crusader in the country. In 1911 Hobson was the man who introduced what became the Eighteenth Amendment, Prohibition, in Congress.

One of Charlie Rangel's favorite lies is that Drug Prohibition and Alcohol Prohibition are separate issues engineered by separate forces. They were, in fact, part and parcel of the same political program engineered by exactly the same individuals, most of them anti-Black racists."

I can just hear them: You said it yourself! That was a long time ago!

Okay, let's take a more contemporary look, shall we?

In the yellow press the single most common synonym for "nigger" was "drug dealer" or "addict," as in the sharp-shooter from Asheville; these words are racist code to this day. Anyone who thinks that racism isn't a major factor in contemporary American politics should try living in the hick White sticks for a while; it's enough to make you puke. If the Drug War were doing to the White community what it's doing to the Black, it would have ended years ago.

William Moffitt of The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, agreeing with the defendants in a case before the Supreme Court that the statistical evidence proves racially biased enforcement, was rebutted on the Today show, 2/26/96, by Attorney General Janet Reno. Reno, also determined to out-Republican the Republicans, insisted that "crack is a tremendously violence-inciting drug," and that therefore the Republican hicks have it right. How is that a defense against selective enforcement? Niggers are violent?...

In December of 1990 Judge Pamela Alexander in Minnesota's Hennepin County Court threw out the crack possession convictions of five Black defendants as racist. Minnesota's Office of Drug Policy had officially concluded that there was no pharmacological difference between crack and powder, and therefore, concluded Judge Alexander, the Draconian sentence for crack was culturally, or economically, prejudicial

Now, you tell me, antis - if you have the guts to - why you believe that the drug laws of this country were not inherently racist from the git-go? When every scrap of historical data points to exactly the same conclusion?

There is some coralation to the mentality of how money is even spent to begin with. DC is maybe more than 60% Black and the way they spend money is to fill the dog bowl of the gravy train of prohibitionist politicieans instead of education, which is what helps the future citizens. That stat above indicates the black kids have been sold.

But because the practitioners of it simply can't be shamelessly open about their prejudices anymore - not being 'sensitive, don't you know - they utilize 'code' to hide their meanings amongst mixed company.

But the savage result is always the same.
