Here Jarecki talks about some things he learned while making the film. Among them: 90% of crack arrestees--but only 13% of crack users--are Black. Drug laws, always a means of race control, are now also a means of class control, with poor whites increasingly targeted. And the original "War on Drugs"--launched by Nixon in 1971--devoted 2/3 of its budget to treatment programs.Kenneth DowstFri, 18 May 2012 11:27:49 +0000
