In 1969, President Nixon's top assistant wrote in his diary that:
"[President Nixon] emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to."
Thus was born the War on Drugs. Under the cover of "fighting drugs" and "crime in the streets," the federal government channeled massive amounts of arms and money to city governments who feared urban rebellion and even insurrection. Nixon himself used "war on drugs" as a code-word for the politics of both racism and repression. And all the while, he watched quietly as heroin was pumped into the ghettos on a huge scale in an attempt to create chaos and derail political organization among Black youth.
