Yes, if you look at why the very first drug laws were created, it was all about trying to control where a certain minority lived, worked and spent time, in the city, it had nothing to do with anyones health or safety. Drug laws are still used as a tool of racism, but alot of it has morphed into a big money grab, anymore police could not care less what race someone is, if they can arrest them on drug offenses, they definitely will!
But when drug pushers target minority communities, it isn’t racism?

I agree. Why should some black kid face jail time for smoking pot. Meanwhile those on Wall Street that gambled away trillions pre-2008 face no consequences.
I voted no. Why? First off white supremacy and white racism exist, but not to the fullest extent. The nation as a whole have moved away from racism a long time ago regardless where are political spectrum lay. It is not minorities are who making the excuse for racism. Most of the excuses stems from a small group of far left liberals known as SJW and Feminists who toss around racism and sexism card labels all the time from the college campus, to the work place or online. These people control media, social media, publishing and academia thus making it easy to spread this victim mentality to the masses. Yes racism exist, but we have far more greater concern than Tyrone being shot by cops while he was armed. Cops kill innocent people every day regardless of race. I'm all for Criminal Justice reform. I'm all for improving climate. Also class is a major problem, even though Trump talks about jobs and jobs, The American livelihood is still not what it used to be prior to the recession, and this goes for all peoples of color. I'm sad that the left has abandoned the class war, in favor of the culture war. This culture war is by for the worst because people are getting fired from their jobs, evicted from their apartments, kicked out of college for wrong think. As it stands. I do not agree with white racists, and alt right. But I also don't agree with Feminists, SJWS, black power movements. All of such are toxic and don't provide no real solution to empower people. Why can't we all just get along?
My take: both socioeconomics and racism have contributions to keeping minorities down, specifically racist laws or acts passed decades to 100+ years ago that many minorities may or do feel the aftereffects of.
