The US policy of turning minority men into felons is even worse than making blacks sit in the back of the bus.
The back of the bus policy was humiliating, a symbol of how blacks could not be hired into white collar (color) jobs. But the war on drugs has escalated into masked men armed with assault rifles breaking into houses in the middle of the night.
After arresting mostly blacks and browns for drug sale and.or possession, the war on drugs makes it impossible for the poor kid to get a job, an education, and/or a home. If it were my children, I would be totally p***ed.
THIS HAS TO STOP. We can NOT keep large portions of the population in prisons just because they use or sell an unapproved drug. If you are serious about stopping addiction, fund treatment centers.
FERGUSON: Please use non violence. I know we are all tired of children being killed, but violence will NOT solve the problem.
