Black People : Methamphetamine Use Amongst Black People ?

[Destee]

Peace and Blessings Family,

I am currently watching an A&E Documentary ... Meth In The City ... and it's saying that this drug has left the cornfields of white america ... and that one of the first major cities that has been caught by its grip is Atlanta, Georgia, and its surrounding area. They say that it's so prevalent in Atlanta, that it has become the number one major distribution point in the country, sending it all over the rest of the country from there.

With so many Black People in Atlanta ... are lots of Black People getting caught up in this too?

In the documentary, they are only showing white people in the Atlanta area ... not just white people, but upper-income white people.

I'm noticing too, from this program, some sympathy and empathy toward these addicts, that i've never seen as it relates to crack and our people. But of course, when it's them, it's different. Some more of that white privilege stuff i reckon.

No Black People have been featured on this program ... so i'm wondering ... what's up?

I don't know anyone that has ever used meth ...

I don't know anyone that deals with meth ...

I don't know anyone that's ever been addicted to meth ...

But my circle is small, and if it's all in Atlanta like they are saying ... is it just a matter of time?

What have you seen Family, as it relates to this drug, and how it is affecting the Black Community?

Thanks in advance for sharing.

Much Love and Peace.

Black people don't go that far. We stick to weed for the most part. Hardcore addicts will do crack/cocaine and heroin, but no meth. Its stuff like this that makes me stay away from white people. If you go to a party with them, the lightest drug they carry is cocaine. Black people just stick to weed, at least that what we do at parties and other gatherings.

This alarms are ringing!

It alarms me because everytime they bring white folks dirt to the surface, it some how trickles on down to the Black communites. For example, herione, cocaine, aids, sicklecell and a host of other stuff too.

Family, watch your Brother and Sisters closely. Pretty soon their be spoon feeding this to our families...via prescription orders. I've already heard that morphine is like the new codine prescribed for pain. That's right, they're already giving it to our people as a remedy for pain. So don't be to sure our people won't get caught up in this mess.

I agree with KS. As a people we like what we like. Chitlings, Henessy, weed and crack. Meth makes me think of brussel sprouts. Food for white folks.
