22 dic 1976 año - The War on Drugs

Descripción:

The war on drugs was a government-led campaign in the 1970s that aimed to eliminate the illegal drug trade and drug abuse in the United States. The war on drugs became a major polarizing factor in the US for many reasons. One of these reasons was racial disparities. Critics of the war on drugs argued that the sole purpose of the campaign was to target Black and Latino Americans, as they were more likely to be arrested and convicted of drug offenses at the time compared to whites. The war on drugs also divided the American public. Some supported the tough approach to the War on Drugs, however, many believed that there were much more humane and less aggressive ways to deal with the drug crisis.
