8. I never believed the numbers and statistics
that have been stated by the media for decades. In order to keep a particular group in stereotypical fashion to be the leader of social ills, blacks have always been targeted and reported repeatedly, along with Hispanics. It always puzzled me how white america, the largest population in the U.S., was always the lowest in numbers when it came to these and other statistics. Sound like a little protection from your own to hide the truth. Look at the 1960's and the hippie drug culture. Was that an anomaly or a drug culture that has expanded until today? Better still, the caustic drug trade distribution import business into this country co-created by whites to paralyze the minority communities for profit? Black america did not create this evil nor did they profit from it. I am not talking about the drug dealer on the corner, but the main line corporate distributor.

I guess all those college binge drinking, homeless wino's, beer gut guzzling, suburbia hidden (liquor hiding in cabinets, under the sink etc.) AAA participating, career therapy patients (I can go on and on) alcoholics and drug users don't count. When the drug methamphetamine was identified as a problem in the white community, there was a national wide outcry with the emphasis on "why it this happening?" Gimme me a break! I guess when white america has a alcohol or drug problem, it's a isolated problem caused by other life issues as opposed to minorities. This problem in white america has always been larger than advertised and in addition, white america created these two atmospheres that exist today. Blacks and other minorities knew this all along, it just not hidden anymore.
