[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually glad that this current crisis is listed as a "health" crisis and not a "criminal" one.  A decade ago, if someone was on crack or an opiates, they would label them a criminal and throw them in jail.  So the new tone is a good thing.  Now I know the demographic reason why that tone changed, but I am still hopeful that this will be the tone of the discussion moving forward. [/quote]

sounds like your point is, we need more bad shit to happen to white folks so that the nation will give a fuck.  got it, thanks![/quote]

Stop this already.  Crack, associated with AAs, got the same attention as meth, associated with whites.

The addition of fentanyl to heroin and attendant skyrocketing death rates is what has focused attention on heroin.  Almost no one dies from a crack or meth overdose. Again, not to minimize the problems with long term crack or meth use--just a different order of challenge than what heroin poses.

Nobody cared about heroin either when overdoses were not so common, even though the fatality numbers even then were way higher than deaths from crack or meth. [/quote]
