I agree, except that the racism involved with prohibition goes right back to Day 1 with Harry Anslinger [0]. 0 - https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=harry+ansling

  I agree, except that isn’t how you cite sources. What’s the point of that? I know how to search, thanks. I will treat every instance of this kind of “let me Google that for you” whether it has Google or not as a native ad and will flag. Please cite a source, or don’t, but either way, stop shilling. Thanks.

    > that isn’t how you cite sources And this isn't an academic paper. If you want to learn about Anslinger, so you don't make false claims, my link is a perfectly cromulent starting point. > Please cite a source, or don’t, but either way, stop shilling. Not sure you know what shilling means - I trust you can google it if you don't? If you do, what is it you believe I'm shilling?

We’re both right, actually. I don’t disagree with what you said, just the needless url you linked. I agree with what you said, but Nixon is also responsible for his racist words and recordings thereof. There were a lot of racists in history.
