Okay, so now we have a thread on the War on Drugs being based on racism to add to the threads about gun control and criticism of this year's Nobel Peace Prize being based on racism.
This is getting to be a bit ridiculous.
Wake up man, you really need to see the truth.
Or you really need to get a new mantra. The drug thing is getting old fast.
Racism and the KKK did not start the drug war. :doh
If you don't like the thread then don't post on it.

Actually with Nixon inventor of the Southern Stragety being the one who started the War on Drugs it does have racial undertones.
Didn't you see the video?Has nothing to do with the KKK.

Until the inclusion of marijuana in the Uniform Narcotic Drug Act in 1932 and the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act in 1937, there was no "national" public policy regarding the drug. However, as early as 1914 the New York City Sanitary Laws included cannabis in a prohibited drug list and in 1915 Utah passed the first state statute prohibiting sale or possession of the drug. By 1931 twenty-two states had enacted such legislation. In the succeeding section, we shall delve into the circumstances surrounding the passage of several of these early laws and the ensuing judicial acquiescence in the legislative value judgments concerning marijuana. We conclude that the legislative action and approval were essentially kneejerk responses uninformed by scientific study or public debate and colored instead by racial bias and sensationalistic myths.

The Genesis of Marijuana Prohibition
Didn't you see the video?
KKK started the war on drugs in the 1916.
Wake up man, you really need to see the truth.
In 1902, the Committee on the Acquirement of the Drug Habit of the American Pharmaceutical Association declared: "If the 'Chinaman' cannot get along without his 'dope,' we can get along without him." In 1909 the United States' international "war on drugs" began when California prohibited the importation of smoking opium.
The New York Times published a story that alleged "most of the attacks upon white women of the South are the direct result of the 'cocaine-crazed' Negro brain." The story asserted that "Negro cocaine fiends are now a known Southern menace."
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US,
and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers.
Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage.
This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations
with Negroes, entertainers and any others.
-Harry J. Anslinger
in 1927, the Butte Montana Standard reported a legislator’s comment: “When some beet field peon takes a few traces of this stuff… he thinks he has just been elected president of Mexico, so he starts out to execute all his political enemies.” In Texas, a senator said on the floor of the Senate: “All Mexicans are crazy, and this stuff [marijuana] is what makes them crazy.”
the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races. - Harry Anslinger

I don't think racism has anything to do with it. I think puritanical religious BS is behind it & why we haven't legalized prostitution, gambling & other "immoral" things.
We keep trying but the old axiom is true: "You can't legislate morality." (it isn't enforceable)
You need to read some of the information in the thread. Religion had nothing to do with drug criminalization, nothing at all.
I'm not sure about Nixon's War On Drugs but the initial prohibition efforts in America were based largely upon racism, marijuana especially.
That's your opinion & you are wrong. The base motivation for all attempts to legislate morality is religion.
Clearly, your study is satire.

I rest my case.
Charles H. Whitebread dies at 65; USC law professor was well-respected and well-liked
A nationally respected expert on criminal law, the Supreme Court and juvenile law
After briefly working at Wilmer Cutler & Pickering, he became a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, where he taught for 13 years, and then moved to the University of Southern California Law School.
Again had nothing to do with the KKK. :roll:
