On this day in 2020 George Floyd was murdered so I want to share a thought with everyone about the next time you hear of a Black person arrested or abused, or killed by police, and you think to yourself,
"They must have done something to deserve it". Read this please
"Richard Nixon’s domestic policy advisor John Ehrlichman revealed in a 1994 interview that the “War on Drugs” had begun as a racially motivated crusade to criminalize Blacks and the anti-war left."
“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin and then criminalizing them both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night in the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did,” Ehrlichman said."
Wake up white America--you've been brainwashed and manipulated!

The left often accuses the right of ignoring facts but sometimes they are equally to blame. Magical thinking never over rides fact or law.
