CRACK COCAINE HIT THE WEST COAST IN THE MID 80S AROUND 85, SAME TIME AS THE INTRODUCTION OF HIP HOP AND THE REAGAN DRUG ACT THAT PENALIZED CRACK WAY MORE THAN COCAINE. COINCIDENCE? #YEAHRIGHT. THIS WAS AN ORGANIZED SCHEME IN RESPONSE TO NEUTRALIZE THE THREAT THE BLACK MAN PRESENTED IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS ERA AND THE BLACK NATIONALIST MOVEMENT OF THE 70S. AND TO KEEP THE PRISON INDUSTRY BOOMING. BLACK MEN WERE INTENTIONALLY TARGETED AND OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN REELING EVER SINCE. #RESURRECTIONDAYISCOMING.
