EXPOSING THE RACIST EFFECTS OF DRUG LAWS ON MINORITIES

Dear Editor:

It's encouraging that The Hudson Valley Press is exposing the current 
racist effect of drug laws on minorities (The Drug War On 
African-Americans, Feb. 20, 2008), but it's evident most drug laws 
were enacted as a racist means to incarcerate minorities to begin 
with. For bigots who instituted America's drug laws, they are working 
as planned.

Truthfully,

Stan White
