The Pill of Death -the fentanyl crisis in America.
Manage episode 362782107 series 3311581
Intro
Welcome to another edition of LTAR. In this edition, we are examining the drug crisis in America - primarily fentanyl and opiates.
We will look at the Racial and Ethnic Disparities in how drug use is viewed and prosecuted in America, and the impact of harm reduction strategies.
And how the approach to the overdose crisis has changed?
This segment is hosted by Althea Billings -Our proud bureaucratic Mary Li is on assignment.
---------------------------------------------------------
We are entering the third wave of the opiate crisis in America
The so-called drug war lead to the criminalization of people of color, particularly young Black people, in the late 1980s and 1990s-
Individually, family wealth was eroded, communities became war zones and black-on-black crime escalated
And now the drug crisis has spread to whiter cities and towns-and all of America is experiencing what the black community suffer-or are they?
-----------------------------------------------
You are listening to LTAR-The Pill of Death -the fentanyl crisis in America.
Althea is right; there is one question we are not asking.
How and why is the pain of life and living causing people to alter reality,
a reality filled with so much pain?
This has been LTAR- The Pill of Death -the fentanyl crisis in America.
