White Supremacy

In Michelle Alexander's book The New Jim Crow she talks about the War on drugs. In June 1971, President Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” He dramatically increased the size and presence of federal drug control agencies, and pushed through measures such as mandatory sentencing and no-knock warrants.

Many people believe that the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was injecting crack into the ghettos across the nation. In response to the public outcry about people theories the CIA conducted an internal investigation of its role in Central America related to the drug trade.  The CIA claimed that they were not involved with the inner-city crack cocaine trade. The CIA later negated charges that CIA officials knew that their Nicaraguan allies were dealing drugs. But, the report said that the CIA, in a number of cases, didn't bother to look into allegations about narcotics there Nicaraguan allies were dealing. I believe that this is pretty interesting that the CIA had no clue that there ally was trafficking drugs in America. By far the US government is one of the most strongest and intelligent civilization. So, I don’t settle for CIA not knowing anything about the Nicaraguans trafficking drugs throughout America without them noticing. Even though the government might not have been as technology savvy as it is today doesn’t mean that they didn’t have a great technology back then.

Many other people consider that the War on Drugs was another strategy of white supremacy. There have been many other strategies used to hurt the African American community. Such as the epidemic of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. African Americans  were heavenly depicted as a people who mainly carried the HIV/AIDS  virus. But back to the War on Drugs many anti- white supremacist believe that this is a strategy used to annihilate the race African Americans.
