THE 'WAR ON DRUGS' TARGETS BLACK PEOPLE
To the Daily:
I'm writing about Mike Eber's column earlier this week about subtle
racism in our society (Is that just the way it is?, 11/12/2007). It's
obvious that the so-called war on drugs is actually a war on certain
people - politically-selected people, who happen to be black people.
Where is the outrage for these unfair drug laws? Where is the outrage
from the black community? Where is outrage from black leaders? Where
is the outrage from America? Where is the outrage from the rest of the
world?
The whips and chains of slavery have been replaced with prison
cages.
