“The drug war has nothing to do with making communities livable or creating a decent future for black kids. On the contrary, prohibition is directly responsible for the power of crack dealers to terrorize whole neighborhoods.

We just have that problem, and it's something that I am going to spend the rest of my life trying to conquer.” PeopleTryingLooksProblemArtistBlackWhiteKingsBlockConquerCracksBlack PeopleEldersLutherBoulevard Author:KRS-One
