The analogy breaks down because it implies blacks were both dealers AND the drug. No one is addicted to shooting up drug dealers. Also, it's widely accepted that drug dealers are more culpable than users. Portugal has decriminalised drugs for users; dealers still get sentenced.
Sigh it’s about supply and demand not drugshttps://twitter.com/Mykeshake/status/1095596035374759936 …

Hope Stefan realizes “which is worse” is a question about moral culpability, not a morally neutral question about the greater cause in a supply and demand scenario - and that he likewise implied black slave dealers were much more morally culpable than white slave owners.
-
He realized this. He's deflecting. It's the weaponized passive-agressive troll model. Not surprising, since his whole schitck is wiggling out of all levels of responsibility.

A more modern analogy would be employers/companies benefitting from illegal immigrants working for cheap wages.
-
Certainly a better analogy than drugs, although I’d add coyotes into that one (which is worse, the coyotes or the employers). Of course the illegal immigrant’s dual role of victim and criminal does complicate the analogy a bit.

But what you’re either missing or not owning up to is how in your faulty comparison to drugs you named blacks in the much more morally culpable (for drugs) role of dealers and whites in the less egregious role of users. That’s why you’re getting pushback.

Also, the question you posed was about moral culpability (“which is worse”) - so it really wasn’t mostly about “supply and demand”. And again, relative moral culpability is greatly affected when “drug” is replaced with person/slave/victim.
-
You think moral culpability cannot be related to supply and demand?
-
It can be, be the victimization if the subject matter is a much greater factor, and thus it’s not something one should attempt to dismiss by saying it’s only about supply and demand.
