Two decades earlier leading Black politicians, observing the differential deleterious effects of drug use on Blacks called for a massive Federal effort to diminish substance abuse. The War on Drugs responded and reduced the drug use in America somewhat. However, the unintended consequences—especially for Blacks—caused many Black politicians to call for an end or serious curtailing to the War on Drugs. The differential effect on Black males was dramatic. White drug dealing tended to occur in private offices and homes where black dealing takes place to a greater extent on the streets where the lower level dealers are much more likely to be caught. The differential penal;ties for possession or selling of powdered cocaine (preferred by whites) and crack cocaine (preferred by Blacks) caused many more Blacks to be jailed. With less access to the better attornies, the Bplacks tend to get longer sentences, even for the same crime. In addition, the drug of choice for most whites is alcohol which was made legal while the drugs of choice for Blacks are illegal. In many Black urban neighborhoods like Newark, the majority of young Black men arwere in jail for ddrug law violations. See {624056} for a concurring opinion.
The editor had discovered that she and her husband had had an affair before they were married and she was still married to another man. This would have ruined her husband’s political career and she decided to prevent that by killing the editor with the information. She was tried for murder and acquitted on the grounds that this was not a rationally premeditated murder but the uncontrollable emotional reaction of a woman who was so weak that she had no control over her actions. This was the excuse that the jury needed, as the personal slandering of politicians for things unrelated to their political activity was becoming very unpopular. This affair was the beginning of the tendency of the French media to not write about the personal and sexual activities of politicians which became a strong cultural tradition.
