A couple of days ago as I was writing on the solar panel trade war, and referenced Solyndra, what jumped out at me was all of the articles centered on the outrage that Obama may have picked a winner and a Potemkin village for political reasons. No one objected to the idea that picking winners is a bad thing for government to get involved in.
But how come it is wrong when Obama does it? Did not Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush all do it too? (Just to name the presidents I remember...) Why all of a sudden is this a bad thing? And remember that for a day it was a bad thing, when the next president, a white woman, does it.
In the USA we fashion laws that tend to snare blacks. For example, cocaine use is widespread in the upper crust. Crack is widespread in the ghetto. Crack is made from cocaine. To arrive at crack, extra processes are required. If so, then how come crack is about half the price of cocaine? Normally, the more processing required, the higher the price. In any event, the punishment for crack is far worse than cocaine. And when was the last time you heard of a SWAT raid on a police captain, a doctor or a lawyer? Or even an arrest?
The processing arrives at a highly addictive version of cocaine. A narc told tell me, from personal experience using crack cocaine, that it is designed to take every cent you have or are capable of making. It cannot kill you. It is cheap at 10 bucks a hit. Anyone can make $10, and he related how men said they could not believe what they would do for $10 to get a hit. Cops marvel at how nothing seems to kill a crackhead: starvation, exposure, rape and beatings.
Such a drug had to be designed. So highly skilled scientists are involved. (Forensics would tell us who did it.) There are billions of dollars in the business. Therefore, there are bankers involved. The money has to be laundered, so there are lawyers involved. The price is stable, so law enforcement must be involved in regulating supply. Much is written about black crime a result of blacks being inferior, therefore academia is involved.
The money for crack comes from welfare. The narc said when welfare checks go out (now EBT cards are replenished) both Walmart and crack dealers are busy at 12:01 am processing transactions.
This is just one of very many ways in which the "criminal justice" market is segmented to harvest disproportionate amount of blacks to feed the prison-industrial complex. And as long as slavery is enshrined in the US Constitution, it is unlikely we can begin to repent of our original sin of slavery.
In the mean time, one critical part of American culture is the option of "blaming the black guy."
To me the most objectionable part is USA is denied the good of the market competition of all those blacks rotting in prison. A free market would have all those people employed as guards in essence enslaving blacks, otherwise occupied providing a value in the marketplace. Free markets are a better way to go.
