I want to have the humility to say that some of these common sense myths impact everyone, and that's why they're common sense.
Imagine a world where the media shapes our understanding of drug policy and its racial implications. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Michael Rosino, an educator at Molloy College and author of 'Debating The Drug War'. Michael has spent years diving deep into how the media discusses the drug war, from online comment sections to newspaper articles.
His insights shed light on the myths that surround drug use and policy, and how these myths affect everyone, regardless of race or background. Michael and Jay tackle the failure of the war on drugs, breaking down different arguments and exposing the flaws in the criminal justice system and the prison-industrial complex. They also emphasize the importance of keeping racial equity at the forefront of these discussions.
Michael shares his personal reflections on academia and self-care, adding a human touch to this critical conversation. If you're curious about how media narratives influence public perception and policy, or if you're passionate about social justice and reform, this episode is a must-listen. Jay and Michael's dialogue is raw, engaging, and sure to leave you with a new perspective on the ongoing battle against misinformation in drug policy.
