Addiction makes everyone do things they wouldn't do if they were in their right mind...whether it's selling ones body for another hit of the crack pipe or killing people in a drugstore for oxy! prescripion drugs are particularly insidious because people figure that if they get it from a doctor it's okay!

How do you explain why so many Whites become addicted to pain killers and have to resort to robbing pharmacies?
Whites tend to like pharmaceuticals like oxycontin and things like that where as blacks like crack.

Because pills are controlled you can't rob a gas station and go buy the pills like you can with crack so they have to rob the pharmacy directly.

Blacks on the other hand tend to like crack which can be bought anywhere so you just need money. You can get money from stealing coppper wire or robbing anyone and then go buy your crack.

They don't call OxyContin, Hillbilly Heroin for nothing. The drug has earned the term.
Exactly. In fact, I think it has a chemical resemblance to heroin (or maybe that's another drug).

You know... I thought this would be the result if someone ever started a race based thread with whites as the foil. That's why I've never done one. Can we kill this one quickly? It is one of the lamest I've seen in a while and that is saying a lot. Whites on the defensive is not a pretty sight.

Um, we're like 75% of the population, so I would expect that we commit more pharmacy robberies. Not exactly rocket science, buddy.
