        Right now they keep saying white Americans because that is the only time they pay attention. No one else seems important until then.

        Prince had access through his physician. Truth is the rate of using "street" or home mixed opioids is at an alarming rate for Whites vs POC.

        The opioids crisis has been postured to address a clinical decision making process. Truth is White youth and child bearing aged are dying.

        And they are dying due to access outside of a clinical setting. Doesn't take rocket science!
