The Opioid Crisis Isn’t White-NY Times OP Ed

[cjlaw93]

Are you saying black people are 12% of the overdose population, because it sounded like you were saying we’re 12% of the country’s population, while simultaneously being 12% of the overdose population.

Yea ..I was saying we’re not over represented in the OD amount like Whites

 

[Rawtid]

Opioid addiction has BEEN a problem in our communities. It just took white people dying to start tracking the statistics and bringing awareness to the problem.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Ask those cacs in Mineola, Hicksville, Huntington and every else in Long Island if that Opioid crisis is a black issue.

Factology

Where the fukk was this "we're all in this together " shyt when crack was poppin off even though whites made up the numerical majority of fiends then?

Breh you been to Manhattan recently? As of late I been noticing and honestly think it’s been more of them there than in Long Island. I think this is one reason why the homeless rate which a lot of these addicts make up...I think this is one reason why the rate is so high in these big progressive cities

They run there from Long Island cause they think because it’s “liberal” that they will get free homes to stay in then end up on the street even more addicted

It’s not even a specific part of Manhattan it’s all over. I’ve noticed it since it got warmer and more of these white junkies will be out around the trains or anywhere in general asking for money. From Chinatown to Little Italy to Time Square to Broadway and Lafayette

The karma is unreal They really are experiencing their own 80s and the government is trying to act nonchalant that it’s overhyped. Young and old white girls walking around being desperate offering up their p*ssy and asking for food and a place to stay

I’m willing to bet they also are going through an AIDS crisis that the media is not reporting

 

[CASHAPP]

White folks embarrassed about their own crack epidemic and now trying to safe face by saying we all in on it..nah breh.

It’s basically a Silent death. Same as the 80s but without the SWAT teams. Even with what they have told us I still feel as if they are downplaying the true numbers. It’s also a crisis in Canada too so that’s two countries at the same time

I think it’s worse than what they say. And when Trump and the Republicans try to legalize marijuana to fix this like I expect they will it still won’t work. Opioid and heroin are the most addictive drugs ever. If there are people still addicted to crack decades later in the black community, imagine what it will be like for these cacs with drugs more addictive than that

How are they gonna have those people working in a store or business in the future? They are fukked lol

They want us to care


They know once black people don’t care it’s a wrap


I keep hearing the reason why we at the bottom is because of the compassion we have


Now that we don’t care about them dying they know a wake up is coming


Just look how upset they are we don’t give a flying fukk about dog the bounty hunter wife dying we making memes about it straight up laughing


And they shocked
