Is It Really True That the Reagan Administration Deliberately Imported Crack/Cocaine to the Ghettos?
Question by ABESHA FOR LIFE.!?: Is it really true that the Reagan Administration deliberately imported Crack/Cocaine to the ghettos?
To make the community stay down. Like African American/ Hispanic communities to keep from interfering…?
I heard some of this from rappers’ songs like “My President” by Young Jeezy that hinted:
“…For some strange reason my son is addicted to polo’s”
I don’t know if this is in direct contact, but sounds like it has some relation….
and Kanye West said in the song “Crack Music”:
“How [did] we stop the Black Panthers?/Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer,”
Inferring that Ronald Reagan intentionally put drugs in the ghettos
My dad, an educated man, says that it [might] had happened. And that white leaders keep African Americans under the influence so THEY don’t have any influence.
Is it a true or could it really have a POSSIBILITY to be true?
This is a real question btw I’ve been wondering for a long time

Answer by NeoNerd
It’s partially true – the Contras which were secretly funded by Reagan did export cocaine to the USA. That insn’t the same thing as direct funding of the drugs trade though.

No. But they did administer different sentences for crack than cocaine and heroine, the suburban drugs of choice.
