Michelle Alexander Quotes

From The Outset, The Drug War Could Have Been Waged Primarily In Overwhelmingly White Suburbs Or On College Campuses. SWAT Teams Could Have Rappelled From Helicopters In Gated Suburban Communities And Raided The Homes Of High School Lacrosse Players Known For Hosting Coke And Ecstasy Parties After Their Games. The Police Could Have Seized Televisions, Furniture, And Cash From Fraternity Houses Based On An Anonymous Tip That A Few Joints Or A Stash Of Cocaine Could Be Found Hidden In Someone's Dresser Drawer. Suburban Homemakers Could Have Been Placed Under Surveillance And Subjected To Undercover Operations Designed To Catch Them Violating Laws Regulating The Use And Sale Of Prescription "uppers." All Of This Could Have Happened As A Matter Of Routine In White Communities, But It Did Not.
