Think about this say selling drugs becomes legal...would there still be illegal drug selling going on ?
Theoretically, through the legalization of drug selling,would make a thug an honest working businessman. But there is still the question of the effect it would have on crime. Instead of John Doe being able to sell it on the street, he could sell it in a store or by mail even but if the govt. taxes and mandates the law in regards to drugs, John Doe will still be out on the street selling because he will not be able to afford or even may feel it is more profitable to solicit from the streets which would still be considered illegal..so where is the logic?
Take alcohol for example, it is heavily regulated by the govt. as well as the selling of cigarettes...
....However, this does not keep underage kids from getting these legal "drugs". Although cigarettes is considered to have no "real" affect on crime, alcohol, on the other hand, has lead to many other substance abuses and is linked with DUI and other felonious crimes....IF ABUSED...
Drugs and alcohol ARE abusive substances and its link to crime is obvious. Drug use and selling are facts and for some a way of life. But it does not excuse the mere fact of its infliction that has been imposed on society as a whole. Crack babies, broken homes, and murder are just a few incidences that are social ills still waiting to be rectified.
What exactly what is he saying? Encourage our children to be glorified street pharmacists? And how in the HE** is that helping Black folks?!!! Is he incinuating that drugs would "help a brotha out"? As far as rebuilding schools, the foundation starts at HOME. If anything Blacks and anyone else for that matter should target rebuilding the FAMILY! IMO kids are poorly educated when the family does not take part in the role of raising that child. If he seriously believes that Corporate America as we now know it will allow a young male age 7 or up to monopolize the drug ,pharmaceutical sales, health insuance industry or whatever you want to call it then this "brotha" need to sit down and face a reality check!
