It was a 3 pronged attack - export their jobs, flood their neighborhoods with crack, and ramp up the prison system. This destroyed the black family and they were the beta testers of the globalist plan.

It makes sense. It's the same reason they did human medical experiments on rural blacks, because they knew no one would give a poo poo.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the crack epidemic happened when the CIA had its fingers in Colombia specifically and south america in general.

And then when they have Afghanistan and 90% of world poppy production there's a heroin epidemic.

Pretty suspicious, pretty coincidental if you ask me.

I mean the CIA is involved in the drug trade all over. What's up for debate is whether they're weaponizing it to control the American population or just as a funding source. I think probably it's both.

I wouldn't say it's their fault, but considering Trump was a party outsider and former New York Democrat, the Ds really could have tried to make deals and pull him to the left instead of straight obstructing and refusing to even meet with him.

Yes, black Americans were, before the 80s, experiencing very real improvements in civil rights and social mobility in the 60s and 70s.

This upward trend started to plateau in the 80s and 90s as the economy chilled and waves of drug and gang wars sweeped across the now abandoned inner cities.

Black Americans were on the working class road to the middle class until that road was shut off, for both blacks and whites, by the end of the 80s and 90s.

Nobody is saying that. But crack completely destroyed communities and broke up families. You don't think it's a little suspicious there's a drug epidemic that corresponds to whatever country we're invading?

Yes. Trump was open to discussion and they spit in his face. In the face of such vitriol, moderates ran from him as fast as they could. The only people left were the worst of the worst, the nuttiest Republican hardliners with nothing to lose.

It'd be interesting to see what would happen if the Democrats do win the house and the senate in '18. It's not going to happen with the pelosi anchor around the dems weighing them down, they'd have to ditch her and get someone that was working class friendly.

The war on drugs is a goddamn monstrosity that absolutely is just an excuse to crack down on black "criminals" and it has had more negative effects on their communities than anyone else's. But that ain't new, the drug war was just a new excuse to do the same poo poo they did during Jim crow and the same poo poo they did during the days of slave patrols.

Today black men are 6 times as likely to be incarcerated than white men. In 1960, before the war on drugs, they were still 5 times as likely to be. It's exacerbated problems that already existed and lots of you seem to get in the habit of thinking the war on drugs is the main driver of whatever problems you perceive in the black community when this poo poo goes back to the colonial days.

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/09/06/incarceration-gap-between-whites-and-blacks-widens/

W.E.B. Du Bois posted:

Moreover, in the case of the Negro there were special causes for the prevalence of crime: he had lately been freed from serfdom, he was the object of stinging oppression and ridicule, and paths of an advancement open to many were closed to him. Consequently the class of the shiftless, aimless, idle, discouraged and disappointed was proportionately larger.

In the city of Philadelphia the increasing number of bold and daring crimes committed by Negroes in the last ten years had focused the attention of the city on this subject. There is a widespread feeling that something is wrong with a race that is responsible for so much crime, and that strong remedies are called for. One has but to visit the corridors of the public buildings, when the courts are in session, to realize the part played in law-breaking by the Negro population. The various slum centres of the colored criminal population have lately been the objects of much philanthropic effort, and the work there has aroused discussion. Judges on the bench have discussed the matter. Indeed, to the minds many, this is the real Negro problem.

That was in the 1890s, and he talks about blacks having a disproportionately high incarceration rate going back to at least the early 1800s.

I don't get what is so hard to acknowledge what a deleterious effect racism has had on our country. It doesn't take much to imagine how racism has limited all kinds of opportunities for black people for generations now and how those limited opportunities in education, jobs and homes can compound each other and have nasty consequences. And I think it's extremely disingenuous to claim to be in favor of progressing race relations while steadfastly refusing to acknowledge the effect of racism historically. What the heck kind of progress can you possibly make when you ignore some of the largest root causes?

I grew up in the south and the older I got the more and more I've lamented what this place could've been but most definitely isn't. It's just plain stupid as gently caress to let racism dictate policy which limits the economic potential of a huge chunk of your population, if you want to take race entirely out of the equation. I mean just imagine what the south would look like today if Jim crow never happened and black people had been seen as equals worthy of good educations and good jobs, homes etc.
