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
