> Minorities are not the only drug victims, a lot of the victims are also in people of the mainstream cultural segment of the population

Minorities are often the victims of the Justice system in the US. When drugs were in an “inner city” problem. It was all about “poor morals” and “absentee fathers”.

When it happened in “rural America” it was the fault of those evil “illegal immigrants” and the drug companies and “let’s treat it like a disease”.

“ It is not a police problem first and foremost.”

It is when you’re targeted because of the color of your skin.
