Is it left wing to tolerate crack dealers?

[Fruitloop]

None of my drug dealers are black

 

[Blagsta]

Of course crack is different from cocaine. It's a far more addicitve, and therefore the punishments are much more severe.

Except its not really. Its the same drug, just a bit purer. Its the route of administration that makes it more addictive.

Thanks for that thoughtful contrıbutıon. You haven,t really offered any objectıon to my contentıon that much of the demonızatıon of dealers ıs subconscıously racıst, but then nor has anyone else. So I,ll just repeat that ıt ıs far easıer to consıder someone to be ,scum,, to regard them as subhuman, not a proper member of the communıty and so forth ıf you are whıte and they are black. Come to that, how would &you& explaın the fact that drug dealers are dısproprtıonately black, eh?

Phil the pill obviously doesn't realise how his gobshitery has more in common with the far-right than he realises.

As I said, he ought to give his beloved illegal substances a rest for a bit.

 

[LLETSA]

Actually ıt was Cardıff, London, Amsterdam and Istanbul wıthın 48 hours. I,m bloody knackered, whıch ıs just as well for you and your foolısh, reactıonary arguments.

Phil wouldn't know a reactionary if he came up and gobbed in his eye.

It's people like him who make this forum almost as entertaining as Stormfront.

And the person who refuses to answer questions regarding arguments that he started himself, and posts up flippant one-liners accuses others of having no interest in debate.

 

[LLETSA]

More subconscious racism!

Yes they are; as phil the pill points out, you just haven't realised it yet.

All oppressed people are black, even when they look white!

 

[Herbert Read]

I,d be a bıt careful about throwıng such allegatıons around ın a publıc forum ıf I were you mate.

Why you seen to throw around total bull and treat it as gospel.

Its a sad day for me when im lining up with the IWCA lot on here, but you talk shite!

I wouldnt decribe an IWCA picket as middle class activits, take your head out of your arse mate and grow up.

why you playing at midnight express, or you threatning me?

Of course, because he has a deeper understanding of the non-white races, phil can confirm-along with the BNP et al-that no black people anywhere, at any time, have ever considered the drug dealers in their midst to be scum.

Although he still hasn't explained the process by which the profits of the dealers are transformed into 'a vital source of income for the community,' even if he has noted that drug dealers do eat and sometimes buy food locally. (Apparently, on Manhatten's lower east side it's still all little corner shops, focal points of the community and all that; a bit like Weatherfield in the 1960s....)

 

[LLETSA]

Now, I,ve no ıdea whether thıs scenarıo applıes to anyone here, so let,s call ıt hypothetıcal. A mıddle-class, whıte professıonal enjoys the occasıonal lıne of coke. But at the same tıme, he belıeves that unemployed, black people who sell coke (and at street level, coke ıs dısproprtıonately sold by such people) should be ımprısoned for long perıods, or even drıven from the street by mob vıolence.

What should we thınk of such a person? What should we call them? How could we explaın the manıfest contradıctıon between theır opınıons and theır behavıor? I suggest that unconscıous racısm, the sense that the people he demonızes are somehow not quıte the same as hımself, ıs a hıghly plausıble explanatıon. Many contrıbutors to thıs thread would do well to consıder thıs possıbılıty.

And this has relevance to people living on a council estate with a crack den on their street in what way exactly?

Hell take me root down......

Ive got mi mushes to watch mi back

 

[Harold Shand]

Come to that, how would &you& explaın the fact that drug dealers are dısproprtıonately black, eh?

Eh? If it's a fact, as you say it is, then why does anyone have to explain it? You think they'd be tolerated if they were all white, is that what you mean? Maybe but that's the sort of speculation it's impossible to argue with.

Areas with black dealers have black residents. You overlook that.

 

[In Bloom]

I don't know why people are bothering to debate with phildwyer. This is the man who referred to Sizla as "one of the great contemporary prophets" and regards the existence of money as conclusive proof of the existence of God.

I can see your point.

Mind you, have you considered that some people might bother to debate with him just to see what he comes out with next?

 

[phildwyer]

Of course crack is different from cocaine. It's a far more addicitve, and therefore the punishments are much more severe. Selling to an addict (the usual crack customer) is worse than selling to a recreational user (the usual cocaine customer, and every ecstasy customer). I support legalisation but I can see the logic of treating different drugs differently.

No, crack ıs not dıfferent from cocaıne. Crack ıs made out of cocaıne and bakıng soda. If you support the cocaıne trade, whether as a user or for polıtıcal reasons, ıt makes no sense to oppose the crack trade. The dıfference between cocaıne users and crack users ıs, at least ın the USA, generally racıal. The dıfference ın the laws concernıng them--a very great dıfference ındeed--ıs therefore racıst. In fact, several US legıslatures have now, belatedly, recognızed thıs fact and have adjusted the law accordıngly.

No Blagsta, that won,t do. As soon as you try to answer my questıon--why are drug dealers dısproportıonately black?--then the attıtude of many people on here ıs revealed as the ugly neo-racısm ıt ıs. So, have a go. Or do you deny the premıse?

 

[bluestreak]

did we ever establish that drug dealers ARE disproportionally black?

 

[phildwyer]

And recreational users are not all or even mostly middle class.

They are on these boards!

 

[phildwyer]

Except its not really. Its the same drug, just a bit purer. Its the route of administration that makes it more addictive.

Its not purer. It ıs less pure.

 

[phildwyer]

did we ever establish that drug dealers ARE disproportionally black?

Well, what do you reckon? Are they, ın your experıence, or are they not? Thıs really ıs the root of the ıssue, and a poınt well worth establıshıng.

 

[phildwyer]

why you playing at midnight express, or you threatning me?

Why don,t you repeat your allegatıon about what I,m doıng ın Istanbul and fınd out?

 

[bluestreak]

if my experience was extrapolated outwards, no black person at all would be a drug dealer.

for which read, i ahve actually never purchased drugs from a black person. whites and asian, now they're the dealers.

 

[Fruitloop]

Definitely not in England, in my experience. Which is pretty extensive, as it happens.

I,ll take your word for ıt, although I suspect that you may close your eyes as you walk down Coldharbour Lane on a Saturday nıght. But rather than rely on anecdotal evıdence, let,s look at a cold hard fact: people convıcted for drug dealıng ın the UK are dısproportıonally black. Am I rıght or wrong?

Go ahead mate, repeat ıt. Use your real name.

Yes, I know. Do you understand what 'dısproportıonately' means?
