Until we deal with the issue of institutionalized racism in the form of the drug war head-on and start treating our citizens like human beings who are trying to relieve pain, feel pleasure, have families, build lives, you will continue to see scared, reactive police, armed, aggressive gang members and all the other elements that come as a result of prohibition.
How does the drug war tie into institutionalized racism and police violence? This episode of 'Challenging Pathos' takes a hard look at these pressing issues through the lens of the tragic Dallas shooting on July 7, 2016. Host Glenn Marshall examines how the drug war's roots and ongoing policies contribute to systemic racism and community destruction. The discussion doesn't shy away from tough questions: How does drug prohibition fuel violence? Why are African-American communities disproportionately affected?
And what steps can be taken to humanize drug users and promote systemic change? The episode highlights the devastating impact of drug prohibition on African-American communities, suggesting that profitable systems perpetuate these issues. By advocating for the decriminalization of cannabis, the host points to potential solutions for breaking this destructive cycle.
Glenn Marshall argues that until society addresses institutionalized racism head-on, particularly in the form of the drug war, we will continue to see a cycle of fear, violence, and systemic injustice. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deeper connections between drug policies, racial inequality, and community violence.
With a mix of historical context, personal stories, and forward-thinking solutions, 'Challenging Pathos' offers a fresh perspective that urges listeners to look beyond the surface and work towards meaningful change.
