The Fading Lessons of the Crack Epidemic
As the U.S. enters a “fourth wave” of the opioid crisis, I spoke with journalist and author Donovan X. Ramsey about the crack epidemic. In his book, When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era, and in conversation, Donovan details how the epidemic began, why government policies were ineffective, and how lessons from the crack era are fading from memory.
Donovan’s reporting has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, GQ, WSJ Magazine, Ebony, and Essence, among other outlets. He has been a staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, NewsOne, and theGrio. He has also served as an editor at The Marshall Project and Complex. Here's a link to his book: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586028/when-crack-was-king-by-donovan-x-ramsey/

Professor Petrzela is a historian of contemporary American politics and culture at the New School. She’s the co-producer and host of the acclaimed podcast Welcome to Your Fantasy and the co-ho...

    Hear me out. “Flawed” statistics don’t survive literally centuries of scrutiny. Over the course of the 140-odd years - we’ve gotten pretty specific with the numbers. Disproportionate arrests are justified by disproportionate crime statistics; evidenced by body cameras; and documented on dash cams, traffic cams, and cell phone video. The numbers aren’t changing and now we have plenty of LE watch channels that can (and have) justified a majority of police action on the problem. Society is changing - leveraging one man’s work from the 1880s isn’t a fair argument in the face of some pretty stark physical numbers leveraged by national level law enforcement agencies.

    So I've been physically assaulted and threatened by a black individual in college; I've been harassed by black people in the city constantly; I had a family friend suffer permanent brain damage by a hit and run driver who was black; I've had a relative murdered by a black person last year; in high school a class mate of mine was murdered by 2 black individuals; I have friends who were friends with someone who was murdered by a black individual while driving an Uber where she pleaded for her life before he shot her for no reason. Moreover, the black on black crime in the USA is absolutely insane. So pointing out these facts makes me racist? Look at the black on black crime data, look at the white on white crime data, look at the white on black crime data, and then look at the black on white crime data. [Good sources to use are the the Bureau of Justice Statistics, National Crime Victimization Survey of 2018 and also look up what Roland Fryer, Larry Elder, John McWhorter say on the subject as well]

      You've never actually been in a community of black people, have you boy? Like, contrary to popular belief? Stepping into the black part of town isn't entering a lawless jungle where you will get robbed the moment you cross the line to shell city. Most of us just do our thing and have our own struggles. Let me also substantiate this with crime stats. Approximately 40.6 million Americans are Black. Approximately 4.5 million are criminals. Of those 4.5 million, about 5.6 thousand are in prison for a violent or deadly crime. Of our community, less than 4% are criminals. As for violent criminals? Not even 1%. The "Problem" in black communities are mostly an economic one. But white people like you like it that way. Because now the new trend when people try to reach out to help black people is to yell "That is racist" and try to sue them or pester them.
