War on drugs designed to target blacks, protesters, said GOP aide

[anatta]

Fucknut; the topic is Nixon's war on drugs.
Try to post on topic.

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying,” Ehrlichman continued.

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.”

Reading is Fundamental..

LMFAO.
One abberant crazy corrupt democrat is your proof?
Nice try but no.

This is a direct question Cawacko.
I will even put it in quotes for your clarity.
"Which party benefits from having 25% of all black males in prison?"

Good to see you and Desh share your only concern for black people is their vote. Their lives not so much.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Do the Dems benefit from having black males in prison?
Clearly not.

how the fuck do you figure that nonsense? do you believe that blacks stop voting democrat because of the prison population demographics? no. so dems in the federal government have zero reason to change their oppressive atmosphere as long as minorities continue to buy the koolaid the dems are offering.

idiotic..we are talking abut Nixon and Erlichman..get a clue..

No one gives a fuck about vapid baby boomer's minor discomfits.
STFU.

 

[Rune]

Everyone knows 90% of blacks vote Dem.
Do the math.

The Drug Enforcement Administration was established on July 1, 1973, by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973, signed by President Richard Nixon on July 28.[2] It proposed the creation of a single federal agency to enforce the federal drug laws as well as consolidate and coordinate the government's drug control activities. Congress accepted the proposal, as they were concerned with the growing availability of drugs.[3]

well, rune?

Rangel didn’t urge Nixon to rethink his drug war strategy. Instead, the Harlem Democrat urged Nixon to ramp up drug-fighting efforts more aggressively, more rapidly.

he fucked up, bought into the hysteria ,and was used and discarded by Nixon.
Which was Nixonian modus operandi' if one was not on his "enemies list"

Ok so you are going to avoid the facts again and revert to ad homs about the poster instead.
No surprise there.
Run Cawacko, run.

STFU.

it was seminal socio-events that scared the suburban whites as much as fear of the black man.
"good kids" gone bad because of long haired hippie values.

It was the reason for the "silent majority" -that phrase is still used today at Trump rallies.."

Do some research for once before you vomit post.

well, rune?

And?
Congress is often compliant.
Who initiated it? Congress? No.

El Oh El, the king of doing it complains. And it's not an ad hom. It's a fact. You don't give shit about black folks other than their vote, hence the nature of your question.

 

[Rune]

you cannot be that fucking stupid. The president AND congress has to delegate specific authority to any law enforcement agency.

if you'd notice, my dispute is about how it ONLY benefited the GOP. It benefited ALL of the federal government by expanding its power over groups of people......reps AND dems.


read above. it proves you wrong.


and how about now?

Without question putting millions of Dem voters in prison aids the GOP but not the Dems.

 

[anatta]

And?
Congress is often compliant.
Who initiated it? Congress? No.

for once you got it right.
the DEA was hyped up by Nixon, and he started the phrasing "war on drugs"

Congress will defer to executive organizing of the executive dept, one the issue has been ginned up -like many Cabinet departments

 

[SmarterthanYou]

And?
Congress is often compliant.
Who initiated it? Congress? No.

then your position is that the dems in the 70s were all wishy washy and gave a GOP president everything he wanted?

Bullshit.
I am pointing out a fact.
Pointing out a fact in no way indicates my personal feelings.
Now answer my question.
You are 0 for5.
I always answer yours.

 

[Rune]

Hardly.
There is often compromise.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Hardly.
There is often compromise.

then the only bullshit on this thread is you excusing the complicity of dems instituting a war on minorities as 'compromise'.

and you call me the partisan LOL

LOL.. then you should know how the protestors/hippies/60's revolutionarys scared the crap out of straight America.

And Nixon used that fear to muster up support for a new federal agency on his "war on drugs"

 

[cawacko]

Bullshit.

It would be like me asking do Democrats support the War on Poverty because they know it keeps blacks poor and thus voting Democratic.
