[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people of color were the center of the controversy surrounding the problem of drug abuse and addiction all the armchair experts were quick to cite single parent homes and absentee fathers and hip hop culture and the overall lack of responsibility and morality throughout the entire minority community as the reason.
"They bring it on themselves" was the overwhelming sentiment which paved the way for apathy and criminalization over empathy and rehabilitation.
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?
[b]What's the excuse for white folks since it obviously can't be their family structure and values and parenting skills?[/b]
I'm just curious.[/quote]

Doctors overprescribing and Big Pharma.[/quote]

NP. Junkies are junkies. Quit with that nonsense [/quote]

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.[/quote]
