We literally have Burrows (DEA FBI) whose very existence is due to racist laws. 1902, N-word in the transcripts outlawing the 1st ever outlawed substance in USA, coke. 1903 same story for asians & opiates. 1933 same story for Hispanics & cannabis. 1971 "to go after liberals & blacks" Nixion's chiff of staff. If the low-IQ prohibitionists had never gotten their way with alcohol prohibition, there would be no FBI. There also would have never been the huge violent gangs that prohibition created. What kind of idiot would triple down on the war on drugs? Biden.... (he wrote the 90's crime bill) Trump wants to quadruple down on those fascist ideas....
We need an updated democracy before we lose our democracy. End the Electoral College & replace it with rank-choice voting. Get $ out of politics with publicly financed elections. Peg the number of senators to a number of citizens. Like 1 senator for 250,000 citizens. We also need to have a constitutional amendment preventing the USA from doing anything with dictators other than overthrowing them. End the drug war, and pay reparations to the countries our racist drug war had affected. By investing in job programs in those countries focused on rehabilitating gang members without the use of prisons.
Solutions are easy. Except the rich are sociopathic & love the misery their existence creates.
