It’s the color of law that’s wrong – trespass – not the skin color of drug convicts. (Or, during booze prohibition, what was the primary convict skin color – & so what?)
Besides, the dominant color on the demand side is driven snow. If that doesn’t translate into dominant drug convict color, then systemic bias ply’s the tires on the wheels on the bus\ts that go round & round.
Possibly driven snow demand-side is used in other ways: maybe that herd has more assets to forfeit. Maybe that’s like draft deferment, a payoff buy-down buy-out.

But all times that bit of Martin Niemöller enlightenment shines. First they came for…then they came for me.
And all the we-we vichy oui oui’s, taking vicarious pay, make it so much easier for the theys to prey. Pogo redrum fe-fi-fo-fum dumb.
The WOD is just another aspect of the cold→hot war on the serfizens. All of them. Including even the dopes, the biggest dopers of all, who “profit” – extract rents – directly.
Blacks as a percentage would be higher, but that is the VERY reason blacks should oppose the racist war on drugs. Whites are BY FAR the biggest users, but blacks are by far the ones who go to prison. Look it up…its all true.

You’ve experienced the fines for speeding which are used to enhance any budget deficits.
People experience enhanced arrest activity to provide the necessary inmates for the guaranteed bed counts to private prisons – it is an industry which also includes payoffs to politicians, cops, and judges.

JujuThat’s an easy one to figure out, and it has little to do with the war on drugs.
The graph makes its big upswing just as the spawn of LBJ’s great society made to to their teens. Millions of young black males with no fathers in the home to discipline and guide them.
A lot of people -most prominently Daniel Patrick Moynihan – predicted it, but there were votes to be bought, so it became a situation of “Damn the prudence! Full Speed Ahead”.
Ya, nothing more frustrating that watching something happen that you just KNOW will have negative consequences and being powerless to stop it.
My favorite drug war failure is that we can’t even keep drugs out of prisons. So, even if we turned the entire country into s prison, we STiLL wouldn’t have even a reasonable chance and stopping people from using.
Yes. Prisons are a good example that disproves the war narrative. Drugs *could* be kept out of prisons. If that was a goal. But the goal is merely make-work gigs for pocketed serf-voters. Put ‘em on the payola roll, gin up the closest thing to perpetual motion machinery there is. Not much is about what the Madison ave boyos say it’s about.

Bullshit graph. Population in 1880 was about 1/6 of what it is today. On a pro rated basis our incarceration rate is a flat line.
That you would honestly think that the line should be flat shows that you haven’t been paying attention to the rapidly growing police state. Clearly not paying attention to the graph is only one of your shortcomings.

The more illegal you make something, the more vicious will be the people supplying it to the people that want it.

Notice the first significant uptick coincides with the passage of Alcohol Prohibition in the 20s. The government has NEVER looked back (and the American people have NEVER LEARNED A DAMN THING!!!).

Well, thx Barney, but…where does coherency reside? It does depend. It’s not either\or. But…if it’s out there, it’s synthesis is in there. You, me, it – a kind of syllogism.
And if it’s too easy, somebody just might be lubing you up. Everything that’s run thru Flesch-Kincaid, etc, algos is pen & prose dipped in Pennzoil. A talk down drag out fight it is. But if slippery enough, soon enough, you don’t feel a thing. 1st rule of fight club is – pass the lube.
I saw “The Big Short” the other night. Enjoyable. Lots of laughs. And there was this quote, among others, that flashed on screen: Overheard at a Washington, D.C. bar: “Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry.”
What do ya suppose truth, or pieces of it, expressed poetically elicits sometimes?
This was a fun flick, took me back. James Hunt, “superstar.”
It would be interesting to see two more data graphed: white incarceration rate, and kneegrow.
Yes, immigration has a somewhat similar graph…

Too bad you are unable to edit your comment.
Should have read the graph more carefully. Delete above comment.
