Posts on the racism of the drug war are getting locked or moved out of various forums. They are being moved to several forums. This is confusing and it causes a lack of focus on this issue.

The locked posts illustrate the following point:

This new forum on the "Racism of Drug War" will not work unless the racist posts are deleted and racist posters banned who refuse to stop posting racist posts in this new forum.

Racism is the ROOT of the drug war. Cannabis and drug users are literally being demonized to DEATH. See this thread about executions worldwide for cannabis and drug possession or trading:

For info, charts, links, etc. on the racism of the drug war see my webpage:

I used the freeware IrfanView to reduce this great November.org chart for easier posting in forums and webpages:

Here is another reduced November.org chart:

The chart takes some deciphering:

Blue column is percent (%) of "Illicit Drug Users in America"

Red column is percent (%) of "Drug War Prisoners in America"

So according to the chart over 50 percent of the drug war prisoners in America are black, even though blacks are only around 10 percent of the "Illicit Drug Users in America"

Do you have the web page these charts came from?

Abby: The blue columns correctly add to 100 as do the red.

Eco: Nice idea. With many rooms here already, I think the powerful racial undertone of the drug war is probably a subject deserving of one.
