While the world continues to “mourn” the loss of George H.W Bush, the 41st President of the United States — we cannot be one of those papers that runs an obituary without an honest piece of information added to such an obituary. While he may have been considered a great leader to some, to others, he was nothing short of an evil tyrant that ignited the war on black people — and essentially the fake war on drugs.
Considerably, George Bush could be remembered partially for a staged fake Lafayette Square drug-buy. By fake-drug buy, uh, we mean the fact that Bush knowingly ordered and staged DEA agents/feds to “buy” drugs from an unsuspecting black man. Let’s go back specifically to 5 September 1989.
On that day, Bush, accessed the nation via a wide-ranging telecast addressing the supposed “war on drugs” and “dangers of drugs”. But at the time, he, felt that he needed more to get his point across. This is where his dramatic and unnecessary stunt, uh, cost an innocent African American male years of his life. During his address from the White House, he, held up a bag of cocaine proclaiming that “It had been bought right across the street from the White House”. When in fact, ehum, it hadn’t. It had been bought in a fake operation set up by the President, against a man, who didn’t even know where the White House was.
That man’s name was… Keith Jackson. Jackson was all but 19-year-old at the time he was intentionally set up by the government in the fake drug buy. At the time, D.C, was so “racially backwards” that black people typically had no idea what existed in the “white areas” of town — or even where the White House or Pennsylvania Avenue actually was.
All so Bush could prove his might to America, and, score television points. This is probably one of the darkest moments in American history, as, it just goes to show just how far politicians would go to push the fake war-on-drugs.
Bush ‘s manufactured “war” was nothing more than a war-on-black-people disguised as a war on drugs. He intentionally targeted marginalized communities, as, Reagan did during his original proclamation during the 1970 ‘s (“when the war on drugs was first announced”).
