From the war on drugs to the war on terror, law enforcement's battle against minorities serves as pacification.

Keep them (the 99%) divided so they don't first notice the financial raping and pillaging and secondly so they can't get together and stop it.

Jim Crow never left. We went straight from the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act to Nixon's original War on Drugs, because, as he said, "We have to do something about the Blacks." I read today that there are more African Americans in prison today than there were slaves.
