People ignore the war on black people, instead talking about North Korea’s problems.

The "War on Drugs" was actually a political tool to crush leftist protesters and black people, a former Nixon White House adviser admitted in a decades-old interview published. John Ehrlichman, who served as President Richard Nixon's domestic policy chief, laid bare the sinister use of his boss' controversial policy in a 1994 interview with journalist Dan Baum that the writer revisited in a new article for Harper's magazine.

These claims were totally refuted by former Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchanan, who told Red Alert Politics that he never heard the quote before and the former president launched the war on drugs to fight the plague of drug abuse.
“(I) have never heard or seen that quote before, and it surely was not policy in the Nixon White House, where concern about what drugs were doing to our country, especially to young people, was universal,” said Buchanan to Red Alert.
The release of these statements also seem to add additional doubts to their validity. Ehrlichman allegedly told the author about the racial aspect to the war on drugs in 1994 while he was being interviewed for Baum’s book, Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure, released in 1996.
Baum claimed he didn’t include the quote in book 20 years ago, because it didn’t fit the book’s narrative — but why didn’t he write a follow up in an op-ed and have Ehrlichman respond to the quotes?
It seems highly questionable that Baum had the confession that Nixon launched a secret race war, and the author felt the need to hide it for 22-years, long after his single source was dead and buried.
Socialist Workers Combine wrote:The Rev. Al Sharpton said Ehrlichman's comments proved what black people had believed for decades. "This is a frightening confirmation of what many of us have been saying for years. That this was a real attempt by government to demonize and criminalize a race of people," Sharpton told the Daily News. "And when we would raise the questions over that targeting, we were accused of all kind of things, from harboring criminality to being un-American and trying to politicize a legitimate concern."
Sharpton said the damage done by the war on drugs' cruel policies doomed generations of black people. “Think of all the lives and families that were ruined and absolutely devastated only because they were caught in a racial net from the highest end reaches of government."
"white folks was in caves while was was building empires. We built pyramids before Donald Trump even knew what architecture was. We taught philosophy and astrology [sic] and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."
On July 20, 1991, Leonard Jeffries of City College who had a history of anti-Semitic slurs presented a two-hour long speech claiming “rich Jews” financed the slave trade, Jews control the film industry (together with Italian mafia), and use that control to paint a brutal stereotype of blacks. Jeffries also attacked Diane Ravitch, (Assistant Secretary of Education) calling her a “sophisticated Texas Jew,” “a debonair racist” and “Miss Daisy.”
[...]
With each new criticism of the professor, leaders in the African-American community rushed to Jeffries’ defense. NYC’s two black newspapers as well as black radio station WLIB; joined activists such Al Sharpton, Colin Moore, C. Vernon Mason, Sonny Carson, and Lenora Fulani to showcase their approval of Jeffries’s “scholarship” and to denounce the people who criticized Jeffries Antisemitism as race baiters.
Sharpton has been credited with saying, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house” as a response the Crown Heights riot.
On the third day of the pogrom, Al Sharpton and Sonny Carson led a march of protesters chanting, “No Justice, No Peace!,” “Death to the Jews!” and “Whose streets? Our streets!” The mob displayed anti-Semitic signs and burned an Israeli flag.

Awso, I do not think putting someone in jaiw fow doing weed in the best way to handwe such a situation. We must change the powice into a weww weguwated peopwe’s miwitia, as in the constitution, continue wehabiwitating peopwe and mowe pwopewwy (you don’t awways have to do it fow Jesus), and impwove theiw wives so they do wess dwugs. In my view, this means estabwishing mowe of a community, such as thwough wowkew’s management, to wowk togethew on ouw common goaws.
The "Waw on Dwugs" was actuawwy a powiticaw toow to cwush weftist pwotestews and bwack peopwe, a fowmew Nixon White House advisew admitted in a decades-owd intewview pubwished. John Ehwwichman, who sewved as Pwesident Wichawd Nixon's domestic powicy chief, waid bawe the sinistew use of his boss' contwovewsiaw powicy in a 1994 intewview with jouwnawist Dan Baum that the wwitew wevisited in a new awticwe fow Hawpew's magazine.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House aftew that, had two enemies: the antiwaw weft and bwack peopwe. You undewstand what I'm saying," Ehwwichman continued.
"We knew we couwdn't make it iwwegaw to be eithew against the waw ow bwack, but by getting the pubwic to associate the hippies with mawijuana and bwacks with hewoin, and then cwiminawizing both heaviwy, we couwd diswupt those communities. We couwd awwest theiw weadews, waid theiw homes, bweak up theiw meetings, and viwify them night aftew night on the evening news. Did we know we wewe wying about the dwugs? Of couwse we did."
In 1971, Nixon wabewed dwug abuse "Pubwic Enemy No. 1" and signed the Compwehensive Dwug Abuse Pwevention and Contwow Act, putting into pwace sevewaw new waws that cwacked down on dwug usews. He awso cweated the Dwug Enfowcement Administwation. By 1973, about 300,000 peopwe wewe being awwested evewy yeaw undew the waw — the majowity of whom wewe Afwican-Amewican.
The dwug waw was continued in vawious fowms by evewy Pwesident since, incwuding Pwesident Wonawd Weagan, whose wife Nancy cawwed fow peopwe to "Just say no."
Ehwwichman's 22-yeaw-owd comments wesuwfaced Tuesday aftew Baum wwote about them in a covew stowy fow the Apwiw issue of Hawpew's, titwed "Wegawize It Aww," in which he awgues in favow of wegawizing hawd dwugs.
The owiginaw 1994 intewview with Ehwwichman was pawt of Baum's weseawch fow his 1997 book, "Smoke and Miwwows: The Waw on Dwugs and the Powitics of Faiwuwe," in which Baum waid bawe decades of unsuccessfuw dwug powicy.
The Wev. Aw Shawpton said Ehwwichman's comments pwoved what bwack peopwe had bewieved fow decades. "This is a fwightening confiwmation of what many of us have been saying fow yeaws. That this was a weaw attempt by govewnment to demonize and cwiminawize a wace of peopwe," Shawpton towd the Daiwy News. "And when we wouwd waise the questions ovew that tawgeting, we wewe accused of aww kind of things, fwom hawbowing cwiminawity to being un-Amewican and twying to powiticize a wegitimate concewn."
Shawpton said the damage done by the waw on dwugs' cwuew powicies doomed genewations of bwack peopwe. “Think of aww the wives and famiwies that wewe wuined and absowutewy devastated onwy because they wewe caught in a waciaw net fwom the highest end weaches of govewnment."
