New World Notes News
Vol. 5, No. 20 -- May 19, 2012
This week in New World Notes, radio program #220, May 22, 2012 Vol. 5, No. 20 -- May 19, 2012
Eugene Jarecki: The Drug War
Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki's new documentary on the drug war, The House I Live In, just won a top award at Sundance. Now Jarecki talks about some things he learned while making the film.
Among them: 90% of crack arrestees--but only 13% of crack users--are Black. Drug laws, always a means of race control, are now also a means of class control, with poor whites increasingly targeted. And the original "War on Drugs"--launched by Nixon in 1971--devoted two-thirds of its budget to treatment programs (vs. almost nothing today).
Introductory & concluding remarks by K.D.
Notes, credits, & links
Jarecki's remarks are taken from an interview by Michael Slate, broadcast on The Michael Slate Show on KPFK, Los Angeles. The hour-long program is available here. Many thanks for permission to rebroadcast.
