The midwest Fentanyl/Heroin epidemic debunking 80's crack cocaine myth

[scuzzy]

While late 80's-90's crack cocaine laws and convictions were unbalanced to punish blacks harder, the idea that the gov't injected high volumes of crack cocaine into urban neighborhoods as a strategy to disrupt an ethnicity is a hoax

There will always be people of every race who use drugs

Drug addicts will always look to find a better, cheaper, stronger high

Pharmaceutical companies and the US government aren't conspiring solely against middle american white rural areas to eradicate their population.

It's simply the most profitable consumers

But Tupac said

"First ship them dope and let them deal to brothas / give them guns, step back and watch them kill each other"

Was he talking about something else?

All of the 60s civil rights leaders who acknowledged its less of a race thing and more of a class thing were all murdered. Hampton, king, x etc.

And it continues to this day with the media pumping out racially charged news to keep everybody distracted.

FBI CointelPro and the Iran-Contra Affair were not myths dude.

They were largely declassified 15-20yrs ago.
Elements within the CIA&FBI allowed shipments of nicaraguan Contra's yola (sourced from bolivia) to get into the hands of the skinny cali ricky ross, and smaller dealers thru Arkansas.

This was allowed for several reasons:
1. to help the Contras raise funds to purchase weapons and pay mercenaries to kill the Sandanistas.
2. to "prevent the uprising of a black messiah" (these words are actually used in official gov docs), and do some population control on the populations that are the most costly for the US govt.

Cali (due to freeway ricky ross) and Arkansas (due to new installation in Mena) were the main points of distribution for that Contra yola.

Drug use tends to more preferable in low income poverty areas because the urge to escape reality tends to be higher. Specifically in cultures where the rich and poor are integrated daily and live next door to each other

There's a very distinct connection why prescription opiate epidemic is rampant in small old midwest towns who use to be built on old trades. (steel, coal, mining, etc)

That's why they call oxycotin hillbilly heroin

It aint a myth.

It's been studied and detailed extensively. It isn't something that people just sorta started to create on their own. There's legit evidence of this happening and it's been documented for years.

Just because midwest America is hooked on drugs today doesn't mean what happened in the past was like Bigfoot.

Yes the CIA wanted to shake governments and fuel proxy wars. We know this

The talking point is racially
