White Americans are more likely than black Americans to have used most kinds of illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana and LSD. Yet blacks are far more likely to go to prison for drug offenses.

This discrepancy forms the backdrop of a new legislative proposal in California, which aims to reduce the disproportionate incarceration of black people in the state. Supporters of the bill, SB 649, point to some striking national data.

Nearly 20 percent of whites have used cocaine, compared with 10 percent of blacks and Latinos, according to a 2011 survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration -- the most recent data available.

Higher percentages of whites have also tried hallucinogens, marijuana, pain relievers like OxyContin, and stimulants like methamphetamine, according to the survey. Crack is more popular among blacks than whites, but not by much.

Still, blacks are arrested for drug possession more than three times as often as whites, according to a 2009 report from the advocacy group Human Rights Watch.

Of the 225,242 people who were serving time in state prisons for drug offenses in 2011, blacks made up 45 percent and whites comprised just 30 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

The powers that be are paranoid. Rooted somewhere in Americas psyche is the myth of black on white crime. The reality of the situation is that blacks are almost exclusively victims at the hans of other blacks. Whites are most certainly going to be victimized by their white brothers.
Where the myth of black on white crime most surely evolved from slavery and ante bellum civil war hate groups (think kkk). I believe cops or the very hierarchy of policing is based on and perpetuates the black man as a deranged subhuman raping multiple white women and eating their babies. If whites were scrutinized with the same intensity as blacks, the crime rate would be off the hook.
 
They did mention in 'The house I live in' that it is starting to change, that everyone is starting become a victim of the drug war. Meth has played a big part.

Here's the clip:




The bit I mentioned is around 1:18:00

Your video won't play=U S copyright probs. I do agree that change is occurring. I love America and no disrespect to anyone but our experiment in democracy is still an ideal model for free people.
 
How many white people do you see standing on street corners selling rocks ?

When you make you self an easy target you get hit.

I've never seen anyone selling meth.

Years later and it still hasn't really taken off in the northeast.

We've got heroin though. Yessir yes indeedy.


I've known plenty of white people who've been arrested for drugs. Myself for instance. Mainly for prescription pain-killers, namely oxy, and other prescription meds.

The only people I see selling meth around hear are mostly white and latino our jails and prisons are full of them. Most get pulled over while driving easy target. Not as easy as peole standing on street coners but people don't do that here so they go to the next easiest target.

I don't know why everyone wants to play the race card ?

"I was selling drugs on a busy street corner and they arrested me because I was black." ??? hmm... maybe it was becouse you were selling drugs on a busy street corner?
 
Black people are more likely to sell drugs, more likely to do it blatantly, and more likely to be in areas that receive lots of police attention. White people are more likely to do drugs\drug deals in private settings such as at their apartment. I don't see white dudes hanging out by a gas station and selling weed. If I saw one I would assume its a cop.

The reason I said that is because I know a lot of blacks who sell meth... It was nothing more than a rhetorical question...

What you see is not always the case... all races are standing at a corner somewhere slanging...

I know tons of whites who stand at a citgo slanging all types of shit...


The point is is that lower-level more desperate dealers are the ones standing at blatantly obvious locations. It is so easy to make money if your access is where your clients are... on the street...

A corner is a junction between 2 or more streets... I see 4 blocks get conquered by one corner... thats very easy access for cops just as much as the addicts.

Of course it's easier to get caught that way.


Now on the other note... There is not a lot of white drug dealers I know on the lower level. Most white drug dealers I know are also users...

The majority of white dealers are further up in the chain... Mainly bulk suppliers and smugglers... They are rarely in the spot to be caught.
