Well you proved me right, they were getting high. You don't lock up addicts, you fix them before they get to the point they doing heinous crimes

Addicts weren't getting locked-up unless they did something illegal or became a nuisance. Even if they did, they took them to the hospital to 'dry out', then put them in the county jail, not prison. Majority of them got locked-up on purpose during the winter because they were homeless.​

It was the cats that were actually dangerous to the community that got knocked for years.​

Did you really just type addicts only got locked up when they did something illegal?:deadmanny:

I would hope that is the only time:ld:

My point is you don't take them to the hospital to dry up, you put them in rehab. You do know you still get a record when you get locked up, and life becomes harder right, even if it was just jail? You can lose your job that fast, and the spiral starts. But you even claimed they were homeless, and chose to be locked up. You don't think that is some dire straits shyt that needs to be fixed? Jail isn't for you to get food, and shelter.

See how fukked up black people have gotten to the point you don't think that shyt is crazy in the world's richest country!

You are just proving my point. If we are this far gone, what makes you think white society feels they should help us?

I was just in another thread on Bernie and people don't recognize the climate that led to that crime bill. Not excusing it, but that shyt didn't just magically appear out of nowhere.

People in the communities hardest hit by violent crime wanted that bill.


People need to look at the late 80s / early 90s annual murder numbers for places like NYC vs now.

Breh.
I keep tellin mfs, "why do you think there was no outrage about the crime bill back when it passed?"
Mfs just be talking and dont know facts and history.
People in the hood BEGGED politicians to do something about the drugs and crime.
Did they get it right? Not really. Because outsiders dont know the intricacies and subtleties.
Regardless, urban America was hurting very badly due to the sale and use of crack in the 80's
In the worst areas, ppl were prisoners in their own homes.

Anybody remember when George Bush showed the crack he claimed they got off a bust, on national tv?

The shyt was fake. They brought it from some kid outside the white house, and tried to make it look like they were stopping crime. In reality his man Oliver North was helping bring the cocaine In!

As far as that crime bill the average black person didn't even know what it entailed, if they even knew about it. It was preacher's, and local politicians, who helped push it just like they do today, but we have the internet to see the truth in things.

If you was black where were you gonna read the bill? Most didn't watch cspan, and there was no internet, so who were these black people in large numbers agreeing with the bill? Ya gotta stop making shyt up!

Why couldn't they have just kept it as powder and not started rocking it up:francis:
Powder takes time to hit, and you can't smoke it. You can but you are wasting most of it

When you make crack or freebase you are releasing the salt, and it's pure cocaine. That makes it easy to smoke, so it hits you faster,.and you save your nose. I met a white guy who sniffed so much cocaine he could put a napkin between his nose, the cocaine burned the middle part out

I gotta agree to a certain extent. Only cats that were really in it understand. The crack wave was way more than rap lyrics. EVERYONE was affected by rocks in someway. One minute u having Easter with all your normal family next minute your whole family split over your favorite unc stealing goods or your favorite aunt (or your own moms) in jail for prostitution. 12 year olds quitting school to commit murder. Local sports stars GUARANTEED to go D1 shot dead in broad day. -see Len Bias

Then only to find out your best homeboy gets jammed up with some knuckle head. They charge him bc he was in the trap, not selling anything at all. His moms let two dealers trap out her garage. They take everyone to jail. Your mans gets 35 years just for being in that garage playing dominoes.
Len Bias wasn’t shot to death breh. He snorted coke and his heart couldn’t take it, he was celebrating going to the NBA it was his first time.

You're still trying to force a narrative anachronistically. Addiction wasn't viewed the way it is now so saying they should have treated it is like me saying 'They should have used toilets instead of pissing in the streets in the 17th Century.'​

Your point is only valid if you don't put much stock in history and try to revise it.

Misdemeanor convictions don't stop you from doing anything and the vast majority of addicts put in jail went for shyt like shoplifting, vagrancy, tresspassing, etc.​

I feel like in certain cities even during the crack epidemic heron was still king (New Orleans, Baltimore, Buffalo) just off top.

The needle is worse than the pipe as well.

The thing is crack reached damn near every level of our society.
big city to small town rich to poor. no other drug hurt us like crack did.

We can do this all day, because the drug world was my thing since i was little

Now, you say addiction wasn't viewed like it is now, you just showed you have no idea how shyt goes, like most black people who accept being treated like shyt. Please learn something before speaking

As far as jail, I already explained, I didn't say what type of conviction, you just trying to win an argument instead of just listening to how shyt works.

History of Drug Treatment
"Between 1964 and 1975, insurance companies began to recognize addiction as a treatable disease and started providing coverage for treatment for those battling addiction. By the 1980s, drug addiction treatment and alcohol addiction treatment were finally seen as similar, and treatment efforts were merged.[47]

In 1985, specialized treatment options begin regularly appearing, catering to demographics such as the elderly, gay individuals, women, adolescents, and those suffering from co-occurring mental health disorders.[48]

In 1987, despite President Regan’s renewed War on Drugs campaign that sought to penalize drug abusers, the American Medical Association (AMA) declared drug dependence as a legitimate disease and demanded that it be treated no differently than other medical ailments.
[49] Miami became home to the first “drug court” helping nonviolent offenders get into addiction treatment programs and avoid jail time."
