RACISM OF DRUG WAR
In its Aug. 21 editorial "Big trouble in Tulia," The Journal discusses how
in Tulia, Texas, over 10 percent of the town's black population was
arrested in a drug sting based solely on conjecture.
Such racism, lying and injustice is an integral part of the War on Drugs
everywhere it rears its ugly head. The drug war was founded on racism, and
is racist in its application. For more information on the racial
disparities in drug-law enforcement, visit www.drugwarfacts.org
