Quote:What kind of bigot are you?

 

Black people are still suffering the kind of open air prison treatment in their own nation that the Japanese suffered for a few years.

 

You want to talk about confiscation of property? How about 12 trillion dollars worth in the war on drugs? Almost 2 trillion in 2010 alone. http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/forfeiture

 

This right-wing war on drugs started by Nixon to keep black men down needs to end, it's the worst social offense by the government against this people since slavery itself.

 

So you're saying that black people can only deal drugs?  And that only black people deal drugs?  That sounds pretty racist.

 

The anti-drug precedent was set by good ol' LBJ.  And keep in mind that even he had his reasons -- reasons that extended to the Nixon era and beyond.  Much of crime was believed to be drug related.  And the policies were continued not only by Gerald Ford, but by good ol' Jimmy Carter too.  IT was far from the "right-wing" war on drugs you present it to be.
