Dunno, dropping of someone I know for their Soboxone I saw every walk and creed, looked like a frickin Bennetton Commercial from the 80s. But only SOME of them are racists.

Sorry but the facts are hard to dispute ,, when drugs were an inner city issue like crack and dope the policy response was jail not treatment
Now its in White well off communities.. policy its about Treatment and halfway houses which are big money now .. again to think race isnt an influencer in policy ( not the main driver ) is like saying Votes arn't involved in the policy development ...... |

so you are saying that the democrats running the inner cities didn't care that their citizens were struggling with drug addiction and simply jailed them rather than providing them with the care that they needed? |

you throw in letting people poop on the sidewalk, and it sounds a lot like san francisco.

Yet another problem with druggies - bragging about Narcan, the thing that saves their lives.

I don't know, when I was young and in poor white and mixed communities I saw lots of poor white people going to jail over drugs. Did you live in a poor community where they took all the poor non-whites and put them in jail ? |

Let's look at this Spence. San Francisco is ground zero for progressive liberalism in the US right now. And in this sophisticated, highly evolved, cosmopolitan utopia, they get more than 50 calls a day to remove human feces from public places.
And when I bring that up, instead of you being concerned why people are pooping on the sidewalk, your first instinct, is to think it reveals a character flaw of mine.
Very interesting.
Liberal=good, conservative=bad, no exceptions. Even public pooping is to be defended, when it's a result of liberalism. |
