Any book with A People's History in the title is garbage.
And the author is a very very poor writer.
No one ever talks about this but... In many urban areas you have 17 and 18 year old boys preying on thirteen and fourteen year old girls (parents are generally nowhere to be found). The girls get pregnant and the cycle repeats itself. And since no one wants to address the issue, there is no end in sight.
And the knowledge that this was the type evil they were up against made getting up and going to work every day easy for the altruistic, enlightened men and women of the KGB and colleagues in the MSM. /s
Now, give your mandatory $$$ to Loquitia's Reparations fund.

HIV
In 2018, African Americans/Blacks accounted for 42% of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas. Of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses in the US and dependent areas in 2018:
42% were among adult and adolescent African Americans/Blacks
31% were among African American/Black men
11% were among African American/Black women
African American family
In 2018, in the United States, the death rate for African Americans/Blacks was higher (16.3 per 100,000) compared with any other racial/ethnic group (2.5 Whites). In 2018, African Americans/Blacks represented 43% of all deaths of people diagnosed with HIV. (Note that deaths could be from any cause.) A recent study showed that African Americans/Blacks diagnosed with HIV are less likely than other groups to be linked to care, retained in care, receive antiretroviral treatment, and achieve adequate viral suppression.
In 2018, African American/Black adult and adolescent men accounted for 39% of new HIV diagnoses among men in the United States and dependent areas. Most (79%) new HIV diagnoses among African American/Black men were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, while 15% were attributed to heterosexual contact.
Among African American/Black adult and adolescent women in the United States and dependent areas, most (92%) new HIV diagnoses were attributed to heterosexual contact in 2018.

Chlamydia
In 2018, the overall rate of reported chlamydia cases among Blacks in the United States was 1,192.5 cases per 100,000 population. The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black females was five times the rate among White females (1,411.1 and 281.7 cases per 100,000 population, respectively. The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black males was 6.8 times the rate among White males (952.3 and 140.4 cases per 100,000 population, respectively). Rates of reported cases of chlamydia were highest for Blacks aged 15–19 and 20–24 years in 2018. The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black females aged 15–19 years (6,817.3 cases per 100,000 population) was 4.5 times the rate among White females in the same age group (1,520.1 cases per 100,000 population). The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black females aged 20–24 years was 3.7 times the rate among White females in the same age group (7,087.7 and 1,935.8 cases per 100,000 population, respectively). Among females aged 15–24 years, the population targeted for screening, rates were highest among Blacks in all US regions.
Similar racial disparities in reported chlamydia rates exist among males. Among males aged 15–19 years, the rate of reported chlamydia cases among Blacks was 9.1 times the rate among Whites (2,668.6 and 293.0 cases per 100,000 population, respectively. The rate of reported chlamydia cases among Black males aged 20–24 years was 5.3 times the rate among White males of the same age group (3,867.1 and 732.6 cases per 100,000 population, respectively).
Gonorrhea
In 2018, the overall rate of reported gonorrhea cases among Blacks in the United States was 7.7 times the rate among Whites. This disparity was similar for Black males (8.5 times the rate among White males) and Black females (6.9 times the rate among White females). As in previous years, the disparity in gonorrhea rates for Blacks in 2018 was larger in the Midwest and Northeast than in the South and West.
Considering Hispanic ethnicity and all race and age categories, rates of reported gonorrhea cases were highest for Blacks aged 20–24, 15–19, and 25–29 years in 2018. The rate of reported gonorrhea cases among Black females aged 20–24 years (2,040.3 cases per 100,000 population) was 6.9 times the rate among White females in the same age group (297.5 cases per 100,000 population). The rate of reported gonorrhea cases among Black females aged 15–19 years (1,756.4 cases per 100,000 population) was 8.8 times the rate among White females in the same age group (200.1 cases per 100,000 population). Among Black males aged 20–24 years, the rate of reported gonorrhea cases (2,212.1 cases per 100,000 population) was 9.4 times the rate among White males in the same age group (236.3 cases per 100,000 population). The rate of reported gonorrhea cases among Black males aged 25–29 years (1,860.7 cases per 100,000 population) was 7.0 times the rate among White males in the same age group (265.5 cases per 100,000 population).

Primary and Secondary Syphilis
In 2018, 34.7% of reported P&S syphilis cases with known race/Hispanic ethnicity information occurred among Blacks. The rate of reported P&S syphilis cases among Blacks was 4.7 times the rate among Whites (28.1 versus 6.0 cases per 100,000 population, respectively). This disparity was similar for Black females and males. Similar disparities were seen in all regions of the United States.
Congenital Syphilis
From 2014 to 2018, the rate of reported congenital syphilis increased 126.7% among Blacks (38.2 to 86.6 cases per 100,000 live births). In 2018, the rate of reported cases of congenital syphilis among Blacks was 6.4 times the rate among Whites (86.6 versus 13.5 per 100,000 live births, respectively).

Viral Hepatitis
In 2018, there were 1,649 death certificates among US residents that listed hepatitis B as the underlying or a contributing cause of death. Of these, 304 (18.4%) were among African Americans resulting in a hepatitis B death rate of 0.7 deaths per 100,000 population.
In 2018, there were 15,713 death certificates among US residents that listed hepatitis C as the underlying or a contributing cause of death. Of these 15,713 hepatitis C related deaths, 2,978 (18.9%) were among African Americans. Thus, the 2018 hepatitis C related death rate for African Americans was 6.31 deaths per 100,000 population.

Tuberculosis (TB)
In 2018, 87% of all reported TB cases occurred in racial and ethnic minorities. TB disease was reported in 1,799 non-Hispanic African Americans/Blacks in the United States, accounting for 20% of all people reported with TB disease nationally; this proportion is high considering non-Hispanic African Americans/Blacks make up approximately 13% of the U.S. population. While the rates of TB disease in non-Hispanic African Americans/Blacks have been cut in half (from 8.8 cases per 100,000 persons in 2008 compared to 4.4 in 2018) over the past decade, the rate of TB disease in non-Hispanic African Americans/Blacks is over eight times higher than the rate of TB disease in non-Hispanic whites (0.5 cases per 100,000 population). Overall, 9,025 TB cases were reported to CDC from the 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2018.
I marveled at how the media pretended that sentencing was racial between crack and powder cocaine.
They pretended to not see the difference between the receptionist with her little vial of coke, snorting it on Saturday night in a nightclub bathroom, and the terrorizing neighborhood crack house with the crack whores and guns, and pit bulls fortified behind barred windows, reinforced steel doors with peepholes and the crack users and sellers fighting deadly wars that were killing children and babies in their beds with terrible shootouts and mass shootings.
Bush wasn’t warning about crack, he was advertising it.
Either way someone had to sell it and buy it. Both should have been shutdown.
The colored folks like to get drunker, higher and smoke crack instead of just the snort sniff. That is all.
Look for a political quote and you’ll find they say versions of the same thought over and over in different settings.
“The myth of the crack baby?????”
That was never in question, shut them down, arrest them, sentence them, but don’t let the left get away with pretending that a person using some powder was equal to the mass shootings, street gunfights, fortified buildings, and gang wars of the crack users.
Total agreement. The Howard Zinn book which has found its way into public schools is the (or "a") model for this.
