Heroin epidemic?

So what's the excuse for the problem now that whites are at the center of things?
Are there no parallels in terms of poor parenting and reprehensible values at play?
Are those factors not feasible for white folks is that why the reaction is not similar with regards to taking the approach of empathy and rehabilitation over apathy and criminalization
What's so different about this epidemic besides the fact that it's not centered around minorities that demands we treat it differently?
What's the excuse for white folks since it obviously can't be their family structure and values and parenting skills?
I'm just curious.

Doctors overprescribing and Big Pharma.

Read the bold again. They asked for "the excuse". Overprescribing and Big Pharma is exactly is touted on this forum as the reason for addiction.

Wow...so like 90% of white heroin addicts simply broke their arm or had some type of surgery and were prescribed painkillers and BAM!!! Few months later they're shooting up and zoning out. That's wild. So wild it's pretty unbelievable.

I agree it's BS. But read the addiction threads on this forum, including this one, and you'll see those excuses ad nauseum.

Excuses are being trotted out for these addicts... Unlike previous epidemics, it's not an issue of personal responsibility, or poor parenting, or a sign of poor morals among whites.

Cry me a river.

The white community is in shambles, from the drug epidemic to the suicide rates.

We are talking about several demographics.

This does not necessarily fit the picture of what is happening in depressed rural and small town areas of the US. Even so, there are many there work physically demanding jobs like forestry or coal mining, developing chronic back or other pain, and start taking prescribed narcotics to ease it, initiating their downward spiral.

What you are talking about fits more a MC to UMC suburban demographic. Narcotics prescribed for sports injuries or surgeries can be a precipitating cause. But I think there may be more reasons why some people become hooked and others in similar circumstances do not. Some of it is genetic predisposition.

But some of it is that perhaps whatever they were doing that brought on the surgery like sports is no longer available to them as an outlet to deal with inner disturbances. People not "addicted" to sports and physical activity (which typically is viewed as a good thing on DCUM) and who have a broader range of coping mechanisms and are less suceptible to falling into addiction from narcotics prescribed for injuries or surgery.

The combination of a narcotics supply and the removal of outlet activities can do these people in, and if you add a genetic predisposition toward addiction the person almost doesn't stand a chance.

Agreed! You do not have to take painkillers. Suffering pain due to injury is ok. I refused painkillers after surgery because I couldn't be groggy and take care of toddlers at the same time. Clearly, these people became addicted because they wanted the feeling painkillers gave them and when they weren't available any longer, they switched to heroin. With all drug addiction, there is the initial choice to get involved.

You're proof that college degrees mean nothing . The mere fact that you think this is about wishing to see others children in bags shows how much of an unsalvageable idiot you are . Go take remedial courses in reading comprehension and you might actually stand a chance , I don't feel sorry for you but for your parents who I assume had to foot in the bill for an education you appear not to have gotten any benefit .

You may not have seen the offensive post referred to. Jeff deleted it.

I am sure PP is referring to this series of posts from 19:32.

It is pretty horrific even by dcum's low standards, which is saying a lot.

If someone made a similar post about any other group but whites, it would be deleted immediately. Good for PP for reporting the post. It is truly vile.

For much of this country's history too many whites have looked at every problem under the 'us vs them' prism . This so- called heroin epidemic is the logical result of the hubris, arrogance and calculated indifference that whites have shown for 'others' combined with that superiority complex that has had even if the so-called liberals believing that they and their precious snowflakes are above the Frey . Is it any wonder why these geniuses are in denial about their snowflakes junky statuses even after they've buried them ? Talk about spiritual bankruptcy . 

Let them die

THIS. THIS. THIS. 

Chickens coming home to roost. 

Fuck you and your druggie children.
