That has never been a part of the GOP platform.
:roll: Guess again.
The drug was is primarily being waged by inner city Democrat administrations.
Not true. Sixty years ago, the Japanese were the most hated race in America and we did our best to exterminate them.
How many black people do you actually know Gip? I mean actually know
It is certainly a heavy part of their rhetoric.
Actually, that was implemented federally under the Reagan administration, and blacks are jailed extremely disproportionately to both the percentage of drug users they comprise, and the percentage of drug users brought to trial.
Maybe...some were white too....The rise of single motherhood as the default African American family model undoubtedly played a large role in this as well.
Whew, that was close! She almost had a child out of wedlock.Born in Uvalde, Texas, she had a tumultuous early life. She was born in 1912 to T. Hillman Smith and Bettie Sue Wood, and was named Lucille Wood Smith at birth; the name was changed to Frances Octavia Smith while she was still an infant.
At age 14, she eloped with her first husband, Thomas F. Fox, to whom she bore one son, Thomas F. Fox, Jr., when she was 15. A year later, she found herself in Memphis, Tennessee, a single parent, pursuing a career in music. She landed a job with local radio stations (WMC and WREC), singing and playing piano.Divorced in 1929,
Who would you like to see do something, and what would they do?
Failure to reply with a Yes or No is noted.
Did you just infer that the federal justice system used race as a determinant criterion in incarceration?
No.It is certainly a heavy part of their rhetoric.

It is the Democrats at war against the citizens of the USA.
Ah, the old "racism has ended" argument.In this day and age, any problems the black community or any other groups has (I don't know what the OP is specifically referring to) are their own doing.
Who did Reagan arrest for crack possession in Detroit in the last year??????"I don't care if objective facts say I'm wrong! The GOP are the superhero good guys NO MATTER WHAT! Waahhh..."
:lol:
Sorry, dude. That was Reagan.

Anyone who thinks that systematically dismantling a people's names, language, belief system and family structure isn't going to have disastrous generations-long consequences is kidding themselves at best and intellectually dishonest at worst.

That's nice. Thank you for sharing your opinion with me, even though I didn't ask for it.
That goes both ways, unfortunately. There are plenty of African Americans out there who look at Caucasians as being "white" first and fellow citizens second.
I blame the same people that I blame for any issues of these sort - the people themselves. There is NO reason for anyone to live in poverty their whole lives. Choices are what matter, not what the world throws at you. You can rise above your circumstances and be a success if you choose to make the effort to do so.
