I do consider viewing myself or our people as mere victims makes us a part of the problem...
What is needed: Candid comments about which new approaches we need to consider, i. e.,
in order to halt the self destructive behavior of others in our own communities, etc
In particular, the decriminalization of non addictive drugs as a modern day approach reveals our own naivete too...
I. e., the issues originated or originate with crack or heroin,
and both get illegally imported around the globe...
Also how both got here in the first place reflected some folks politics:
As it does in 2016!!
Of course drug addiction is a new form of slavery, (though addicts do have other options)...
Hence our option to either remain a part of the part of the problem-- by default--or be a part of the solution-- by choice!!
fyi
