This episode 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: is about a powerful upstance that impacted lives in every 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: city across the United States. I'm talking about crack cocaine. 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: For those who don't know what crack eels, let me 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: give you the definition. Crack also known as rockets coke 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: in the free based form the smoke, crack gives the 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: user a short, intense high. It's the most addictive form 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: of cocaine because it leaves the user chasing that first 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: incredible high. But as we learned, the more that they smoke, 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: the shorter to high, creating a full flags crack at it. 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Crack started off as a widespread recreational drug around four 26 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: and because it was cheap to attain, places like l A, 27 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco, Miami, New York City, Oakland, and other major 28 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: cities became an epicenter for what would later be called 29 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: the crack epidemic. Now, as I mentioned earlier, it was 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: cheap in the eighties, you can see the visible impact 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: that the drug had in the neighborhood from both a 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: social and economic standpoint. You need to be a marketing 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: guru to sell crack because it literally sold itself. Cost 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: of a single rock range from five price on the average. 35 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Create an ample opportunity for young entrepreneurs, mostly just young 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: black males looking to change their circumstances. But this became 37 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: more than just a way to pick up some extra 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: small change. In the eighties, it was easy for a 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: young dealer the clock anywhere from one thousand to ten 40 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: or fifteen grand daily, and like the late great Notorious 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: b actually once said more money, more problems. You saw 42 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: the level of violence escalate from here in the occasional 43 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: thirty eight go off later night and hearing fully automatic 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: weapons ring out. It became big business dealer and then 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: you usually share the same community, so often you had 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: situations like a dealer selling to his homeboy's sister of mama. 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes you had sexual favorites being exchanged. So you can 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: see how some problems could pop off behind something like this, 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: you or your homeboy knocking down your moms and things. 50 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: But the media also used the crack epidemic to make 51 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: black folks look crazy as usual. I beg you to 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: know that two thirds or cracks consumers were white, but 53 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: with images of black crack babies and things being shown 54 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: in American TV screens nightly, it was easy to assume 55 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: that this was just a problem confined to the hood. 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: Now was used to kick off the so called war 57 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: on drugs. Many of you too young to remember Ronald Reagan, 58 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: but he was o g Mr Less make America great again. 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: Also during this period you had Scarface, which detailed the 60 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: rise of the immigrant washings dishes at the Taco stand 61 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: to become one of the world's biggest drug dealers hit theaters. 62 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: So this was the perfect opportunity to demonize the hood. 63 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: Law enforcement begin to treat black drug addicts like criminals, 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: locking them up rather than getting them treatment. Then, in 65 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: the eighties six Congress pushed the Anti Drug Abuse Act 66 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: through to literally said a hundred grams of powder and 67 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: the Graham of crack would get the same sentence if 68 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: you think I'm on some bullshit. In the total prison 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: population was around three hundred thousand nas damn near at 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: two point one million. So who the funk fool and 71 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: who it's a Gainst Chronicles.

For me, that was almost the 78 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: start of the crack epidemic. Now wait before that, yeah, 79 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: for me, well, I'm talking about that's I think that's 80 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: when it impacted me.

But we was grinding and 356 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: we stayed out three four five in the morning. That's 357 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: when everything ain't come out. The police, your drive bys 358 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: and because they knew everybody was gonna run to that 359 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: car and put their hands in there and you know 360 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: something is here.

Not only 366 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: are our families are homes, but they sucked off friendship 367 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: with the homies, with with your friends, your partners you 368 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: grew up with.

And 371 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: that's when everybody dads were going to prison, you know 372 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You know, I remember when the shurm 373 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: came out. You know, I was my POSSI was in 374 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: the motorcycle club and we used to go to Salton 375 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: Sea and man, when you see grown motherfucking man humed 376 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: out and and Ryan dirt bites through the sand and ship, 377 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: it'll flip you out. And just how they act. They 378 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: were shooting each other on these runs. One cat got 379 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: his head shot off with the shotgun. But our pops 380 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: was was doing drugs and selling drugs way before us. 381 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: And then the cocaine. Can you know they was using 382 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: them long as more cigarettes and and dipping in there, 383 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: sucking in and they were selling the mother fuckers and 384 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: motherfucker's was really tripping off of that ship. But then 385 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: here comes cocaine. So cocaine took us to another level. 386 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: Like the kids today they're using these drugs. The ship 387 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: they got today introduced me to cocaine anytime, compared to 388 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: the ship they used it now, and tripping happened, counting 389 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: up and doing this unnecessary as shooting ship is totally 390 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: different from cocaine. So I don't know. I don't I 391 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: can't say it's a system. I can't say it's our 392 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: fault that we constantly keep letting something or some type 393 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: of drug ruining our neighborhoods. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, 394 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: it's it's funked up. It sucked up a whole bunch 395 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: of ships.

We don't have to go to 668 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: it or or do this drug just because the majority 669 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: of the time niggas did that same drug and wouldn't 670 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: touch it because the homies, all the homies was on there. 671 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: So just to be a part of that and feel 672 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: like you you one of the homies too, they did it. 673 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: And those are the ones that took that drug harder 674 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: than the ones that was already doing it.

Everybody else had a chance to 677 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: get out of that ship or woke away. But the 678 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: ones that didn't do it and didn't want to do 679 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: it and and felt they had to do it, them 680 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: them the ones that got stuck. But we all got 681 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: a choice on what drug we used. Like myself, I 682 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: tried PCP. I didn't like that ship. I kept a 683 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: reminder my motherfucking forehead what it did. I'm not doing 684 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: that no more.
