Dylan Ratigan: Racism was rebranded ‘the war on drugs’
MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan on Monday highlighted the concerning racial disparities that existed within America’s war against illegal drugs.
“Our big story on this Martin Luther King holiday is the new math of racism in America,” he said. “The greedy bastards have rebranded racism, calling it ‘the war on drugs.’ They’ve made it both acceptable and profitable. While the concerns of racism from the 1950s and 60s have improved in this country, if you look at the numbers the war on drugs has become a racist war.”
He noted that African Americans are ten times more likely than white Americans to be imprisoned for the same drug charges. He also noted there were more African Americans in prison or on probation today than there were slaves in America before the civil war.
Dylan added that American taxpayers spent $74 billion on prisons in 2007, with a growing percentage of that money going to private prisons.
“And yes, publicly traded for profit prison companies exist,” he said. “These companies have massive political and lobbying wings to keep the war on drugs alive, as they also happen to use the very prisoners as cheap labor.”

“they donate one condom to a developing country for every condom purchased from them”
fucking seriously? no one has a problem with this? a condom company that feeds into the “population control” argument & thinks those in “developing countries” are the ones that need to wrap it up? how about they send some of these to white westerners like me, cause we’re the ones that are fucking the world up the most.
alternative point of view: they’re assisting people in choosing to use protection against pregnancy AS WELL AS STDs and HIV/AIDS.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5jn5aldI1qb53jco1_500.jpg)

So I’ve spent the past couple of days pondering about Lady Gaga’s self-proclaimed “gay anthem.” The words “chola” and “Orient” are among the harshest criticisms. Regardless of the quality of the song itself, I will say that “Born This Way” does reflect the LGBT community at large in that it shows disregard and ignorance for people of color in the spectrum.

Dear members of the media: it is not “looting” if Haitians desperate for food and water are clambering into COLLAPSED BUILDINGS and recovering what little foodstuffs they can. FROM COLLAPSED BUILDINGS, for fuck’s sake.
