There's no time for this. Young people of all races are dying every day. The focus has to be on finding a solution!

White lady doesn't have time to understand how public policies differ when those suffering are Black. Good to know, thanks.
-
Not my point. My point is that we need a solution for everyone! People are dying!
-
There's no solution that fits all bc PoC aren't treated or regarded the same! We want equality! There are real disparity issues here!
-
Yes I know the stats & that's sad but true - but you see me as a white lady & not someone deeply affected by the opiate epidemic
-
Where was all this outrage at the crack epidemic of the 80s and 90s? Oh right we were just mass incarcerated. Some of whom are still in jail
-
I started working in this field in the 90's. I was outraged back then too
-
Outraged how?? There was no contrasting drug epidemic in white communities, so how would you know whites were treated different?

No
?! POCs have been saying this all along. Just like POCs are adults at 12 and white men (ie, Ryan Locke) make youthful mistakes at 35! -
It's not JUST POC saying this-pale female nurse here!Sickened by every bit of inequality in this country-there are so many blatant examples

Treatment for rich, prison or worse for poor, no matter shade of skin

That's not supported by fact.

@realDonaldTrump
Let's be the United States Of America and treat all drug addicted Americans. Beyond opioids, which affects mostly Whites. -
Opioids on the street effect millions of black Americans.
-
Right now they keep saying white Americans because that is the only time they pay attention. No one else seems important until then.
-
2 problems: opioids, which killed Prince among many more, and prison vs treatment .
-
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!
-
Nobody is arguing that and everyone knows it, or should.
