One of Richard Nixon’s top advisers and a key figure in the Watergate scandal said the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight blacks and hippies, according to a 22-year-old interview recently published in Harper’s Magazine.

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper’s writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.

“You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Race uprisings in the late 1960s and ongoing demonstrations against the war in Vietnam left many American voters feeling uncertain and afraid of the future. Richard M. Nixon, the Republican presidential candidate from California, played on these fears by inventing a “war on drugs,” which targeted war demonstrators and African Americans.

One little known effect of mass incarceration of African Americans is: Men go to Men's prisons, Women go to Women's prisons... And one fact of this separation is that they have Fewer Children... The definition of genocide is to prevent the genes of a certain people from reproducing... Mass incarceration certainly guarantees fewer Black Babies... 

And the racist drug laws continue to this day because crack cocaine gets prison sentences that are five times longer than powdered cocaine... Crack cocaine is popular among African Americans... Powdered cocaine is frequently used by Rich White People... And now you know the rest of the story...
