Racism and its lingering effects have long been debated by people of color as the root of evil. Many times if it doesn’t affect you directly; you may not understand the significance of racism.

documentary that informs people of what the war on drugs truly is. The black community has been the initial target of the war on drugs (drugs and drug abuse).
