Richard Branson recently stated: "I'll tell you what's different [than in other countries]. I'll tell you what the fundamental difference in America is, it, it is a war against black people in America. It's black people that 85 percent of people who go to prison in America for taking drugs is black people. They don't take more drugs, but it's a racist law against black people in America." Mr. Enzi, a crime prevention advocate and moderate-conservative Republican blogger in New Orleans, takes issue with the statement: "I like Branson the adventurer but PASSIONATELY DISAGREE with Branson the narco-policy analyst for disparate impact. Crack dealers & crack gangs destroy more Black lives, directly & indirectly, than all the police brutality & private racist vigilantes in America combined. NOT jailing them at rates consistent with the long term havoc they wreak is racist! Short answer - BALONEY!"
More: "When what I call 'chocolate [K]lansmen (inner city thugs)' have billionaire White lobbyists, saving inner city traditional values is almost lost! The Crack Lobby elevated chocolate [K]lansmen to folk hero status and thereby signed death certificates for thousands of innocent American Blacks without batting an eye. Nice work guys. We won't be able to survive your encore."
Nadra Enzi To Richard Branson: "You're Full Of Baloney To Call The War On Drugs A Racist War On Black Folks. What About The Havoc Wreaked On Black Crime Victims?"
