Hell, crack was introduced to blacks by our government, and then the government funds their wars and starts locking up crack dealers and users for ridiculous amounts of time.

When you make a claim such as that, you should provide not just one, but multiple, nonpartisan sources. I've heard that claimed before, but only from blatantly left-wign sources.

And yes, it IS a form of racism because we've forced minorities into these impoverished areas where drugs are always going to be a huge problem.

The United States Federal Govt., nor any state, country, or municipal Govt. has any laws that requires "minorities" (<---whatever that means) to live in these areas. They choose to live there.
Really, why do you say "minorities"? Jews are a minority; are they living in ghettos plagued with crime? Or is the millenia of persecution the Jews have underwent not sufficient for them to acquire "minority" status?
Or, say, East Asians. Or Indians (from the nation) - both of these groups are over-represented in white collar professions, under-represented in the prison system, and yet demography tells us they're minorities as well.
Or, hey, what about people of subsaharan descent from the Carribean & Sub Saharan Africa? Why is it these people have such radically different imprisonment rates? Why is it their level of educational achievement is so different?
Really, please, use a better phrase than "minorities".
