text: I think if we really want to end racism we must acknowledge the totality of the impacts of white racism in all the conflicts in this country. Racism is ingrained in virtually every institution in this country. Most white folks are unaware of what benefits they get that the rest of us don't. That didn't happen naturally. It has all been intentional at one level or another. For example, the war on drugs has racist roots that are still effecting us. Pot, opium, and coke were all preferred drugs of minorities. The one time the government tried to ban the drug of choice for white men, alcohol, white thugs invented the drive by shooting. Alcohol was made legal to solve the problem. Mass incarceration was the solution for the minorities. In fact, today we now have the most citizens incarcerated of any country on the planet with just 5% of the world's population. Even Russia and China have fewer prisoners than we do.
