A friend of mine and I were talking about fact that the United States of America created it’s own drug problem back during The Cold War when they injected cocaine into the black community in order to fund the contras of Nicaragua. When I brought it up, we also talked about the media climate in 1998 when the CIA acknowledged their involvement in inject cocaine and the crack composition of the drug into the black community.

In 1998 the CIA released a 400 page report acknowledging their involvement in the drug trade as a fact, but the media was consumed with Bill Clinton’s blowjob escapades with Monica Lewinsky.
