black people could have just said no thanks we don't want the cocaine

I think it's interesting crack became a black woman's drug, particularly mothers.

I think many black women were so miserable at that time they basically had no psychological defence against a new, highly addictive drug.

And they were miserable because of the behaviour of black men and the expectations of their culture that they fix every problem in the community.

true they are often most religious too, opiate of the masses. their lives are miserable I agree well they could try not having kids as teens and try working hard in school then they'd do better financially.
