The war on drugs has white racist roots. When the preferred drug of white folks, alcohol, was prohibited the law was revoked. Drugs preferred by minorities like weed, opium, and coke became the most dangerous drugs by law. It gave our white racist governments more tools to control and abuse minorities. That lead to mass incarceration of minorities and privatized prisons. You can always find greed and racism at the root of our problems. Sadly, all lives don't matter in this country. They never have.
