Buddy, please highlight the information that you want us to see and post that. No one has time to sort through 50 links without any associated commentary.
A cursory glance at the first link from your post provides information that discredits, not supports, your assertions.
This fact leads me to believe that you did not read the data and text that are contained in the sources you cited.
The very first link you cited...
oas.samhsa.gov
...contained this...

In summary, the report above indicates:
- The rate of illicit drug use among Black adults, aged 18 and older, was higher than the national average (9.5 vs. 7.9 percent).
- The need for the treatment of Black adults with an illicit drug use problem was higher than the national average (4.4 vs. 2.9 percent).
- 24.2 percent of the Black adults in need of illicit drug treatment received treatment at a specialty facility, which was higher than the national averages for adults.

So, according to your own post, my original claim that Blacks disproportionately abuse illicit drugs is confirmed, yet again.
What's next? An assertion that the drug treatment industry unfairly targets Blacks, along with the racist cops who arrest them?
A couple of days ago, I proved that my comments about the disproportionate illicit drug abuse among Blacks was correct, and you seemed to briefly concede the point. Today, you have unwittingly reaffirmed my position and damaged yours, once again.
I'll give you the last word, Buddy, because I do not desire to waste time pursuing this issue, ad infinitum, with someone who cannot debate intelligently. |
