ACLU: Racism of the Drug War Verified

9. Yes I see it much the same way

There were also racist housing lending laws that contributed to the lack of inheritable wealth in African Americans up til the 70's i think (i have a book on this somewhere) This created economic inequities that were and are difficult to overcome. So the way i see it 1) institutionalize racism in every area 2) poverty becomes generational 3) lock up a significant portion of the male population, leaving impoverished single parent families 4) slowly erode or simply erase any affirmative action law that helps overcome institutional racism 5) privatize prison systems and fill them using in place racist laws.

It's a bloody mess.
