kari-izumi:exigetspersonal:ruffboijuliaburnsides:dealanexmachina:black-to-the-bones:The war on drugs is rooted in racist policies . The failure of the war and drugs is obvious. We need to find a better solution, because people of color should never be the victims of racist policies. White Americans are more likely than black Americans to have used most kinds of illegal drugs, including cocaine and LSD. Yet blacks are far more likely to go to prison for marijuana, which is not a hard drug. Moreover , even when white people get caught , they get less time in prison. …is that Rachael Leigh Cook, the same actress who did the original anti-drug ad when she was a teenager?It is indeed.She grew up, realized she’d been exploited to further a racist government agenda, and turned around to bite the hand that feeds. Awesome.I’m so proud of her -- source link
