They NEVER talk about CRACK...

[Serious]

see how you just moved the bar from "crack" to "coke and crack"

was waiting for someone to call him out on those two substances being interchangeable....

Zero you cool peoples but you live in India, don't try to speak on crack in the hood bruh, please.

Statistical facts aren't subjective like that breh. If someone on here talks about how there's less famine in India than there used to be they would be (1) right and (2) might have more data than me just being like "yo I've seen hunger up close." Everything I've said in here is 100% accurate including the fact that the 'crack epidemic' was about more than crack as a drug , it was a combination of urban decline and addiction and crime and poverty and all that. Otherwise you can combine crack with heroine and cocaine and other hard drugs and wonder why OP is talking about crack specifically

...um crack is still a problem. It might not be AS HUGE a problem but it's still pretty fukin big, big enough that it should still be considered an HUGE issue.

And come on any "quantitative reports" based on "drug dealing" should be taken with a grain of salt considering the nature of the game and the desire for most people pushing weight NOT to be in the limelight.

Is it as big an issue? No
Is it an issue, Hell fuk yes.

you're making a reasonable argument. the problem is you say "crack is not as big of an issue" and people here hear "crack is no longer an issue"

Why is everybody jumping on the OP? He never said crack is bigger now than in the 80's....as far as I saw he said crack is a problem that hasn't been sufficiently addressed to this day, and that's a fact. In every hood, crack has a presence, that's a fact. You guys on his head calling him stupid, laughing at him...for what, exactly?

VVD, you are always up in every thread arguing with somebody, give it a rest gottdamn. Only reason you went hard at dude is because he kinda took a shot at Obama there in his post.

Zero you cool peoples but you live in India, don't try to speak on crack in the hood bruh, please.

Are you even reading the thread? I didn't go at anyone but "blackking" for his dumb statement about crack being worse now than it was in the 80's. And I only "went hard" after a slew of personal insults. The OP came at me. Stfu with this Obama shyt, lol. Only you will see this having anything to do with Obama.

OP literally said he read Cornel West and found nothing there about the failed war on drugs.

Yeah i noticed that. That's why i made that post in hopes it would shed some light on the "degree/magnitude" of the reality.

Does anyone here disagree with
"It's a big problem still, but not as big as it once was"

?

It's a big problem but I think there's a danger to saying people should be publically worried about it more in the context where the corrections system is already like it is. I think addiction needs to be treated like addiction, petty drug sales like drug sales. Dramatically pointing out that "in every town, there is crack" is not going to solve the problem and perversely cause more problems

yeah even this comment is outside the scope of what i wanted. Sadly it's to insightful for an initial step in bringing some consensus on the issue as the "big" argument appears to be whether it's bigger now that it was back in teh 80's...which to me is mind boggling.

It's like you and a friend arguing over using salt or pepper to season a turd sandwich. Does it really fukin matter you're eating shyt.

Same thign here.

WHO GIVES A FUK if it was bigger now vs then. The PROBLEM is still there, regardless of historical magnitude...

Apparently "blacking" thinks the crack epidemic never subsided at all and is actually worse today than it was in the 80's and the only reason people think otherwise is because they're brainwashed by a media conspiracy

The thread was kinda because the OP made it specifically about crack as opposed to drug abuse in general. Crack is a problem, but so is meth, heroin, prescription drugs, etc. It kinda seemed to give the impression like crack was some kind of new rising problem, like we're in the 80's again or something. Crack been fukking up peoples' lives and it's nothing new.

Then dude said it's worse than it was in the 80's Then the OP kinda started teaming up with him.

But in summary, crack isn't as big a problem as it used to be but is still a big problem, particularly in innercity metro areas hit hard by urban decay. And the issue of the drug war and drug addiction and the illegal trade that comes with it should be an election issue.

I'm pretty sure I've seen crack addiction more up close and personal throughout my life than you, first of all. I know you are notorious for being one of the dumbest posters in the history of HL and KTL, but this is a new depth of idiocy for you.

Nobody said crack is no longer a problem or that some people aren't still making money in the crack game. So keep all these ducktales about drug dealers you know and crackheads you see, desperately trying to prove your hood credibility to people online who don't give a fukk about you.

The point I'm making is that the crack problem is nowhere near what it was in the 80's and you saying that the crack problem is worse today than it was in the 80's belongs in the all-time pantheon of idiotic KTL/HL statements next to "Richard Nixon created the NAACP." I don't know what you keep talking about the media for. I'm talking about real life experience. Nobody from drug dealers to drug users to stickup kids to mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons from that era to drug counselors to doctors and nurses to law enforcement will tell you crack is a worse problem today than it was in the 80's.

Your ass probably couldn't even talk yet in the 80's if you were even born, lol. fukk are you even talking about it for?

That was one of the most stupid statements anybody has ever fixed their fingers to type on this board. And instead of just admitting you overstated your case and you were wrong, you just keep coming at me with off-topic personal insults like always because you're an emotionally weak, hurt bytch who is salty over stuff I said to you years ago. If you honestly think crack is a worse problem today than it was in the 80's you are detached from reality and there is no reasoning with you. You obviously don't know shyt about what you're talking about and are completely removed from the situation, as evidenced by the fact that I had to explain to you that the epidemic died down largely because of a lack of new users. I feel like I'm talking to some white kid who just moved here from Iceland or somewhere.

didn't even read this post. it's probably u being upset and trying to look cool and down.
your lame as fck and basically see through; which I really do find disgusting.

I can tell that you know nothing about this so it's a waste of time. Just know I have a real perspective that I'm speaking from and I don't even want to waste my time reading what ever goofy corny sh1t u wrote- that is only cool on the internet. Furthermore, I don't see how are you on here even speaking on this, and like this, when you know that your pic has been on here validating every assumption made about you being corny, fake and lame.

 

[Blackking]

I don't know what people on this site are talking about.


There are so many people coked out or cracked out here in Northern California. It has made huge comeback.

I was recently at a party out in the hood, and I was shocked to see people snorting like crazy. I heard that people are starting to freebase again. WTF?

I don't know about a huge comeback.. but sometimes the internet is not like real life and to some posters the internet is real life.
