1. And it's racism/bigotry which is causing the economic problems

Just look at how right wingers stopped caring about what businesses had a right to do once they decided to require masks .

But it was all about business rights and freedom if they wanted to discriminate against certain groups.

2. The Drug War fuels racism.

Republicans started it back in Nixon's time as a way to oppress black people and liberals. It has done horrendous damage to our culture. It is nothing less than a destructive invasion of the United States by the United States. It creates an oppression industrial complex from our criminal justice system.

3. It's the other way around

Racism long predated the drug war.

7. I think racism fueled the drug war, and on the other side, the drug war then fueled more racism

5. Also, one of the more modern examples was Oprah Winfrey

who is one of the wealthiest people on Earth; one of the most widely recognizable people on Earth; and one of the most influential people on Earth... and she went through it.
