War on drugs - Wikipedia“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people.” Ehrlichman added, “You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin.”
It’s clear. The War on Drugs was not about drugs, it was a war against black and brown communities. The aftermath of Nixon’s political actions violently echoed in the lives and spaces of minorities.
