Nixon Aide Reportedly Admitted Drug War Was Meant To Target Black People
Journalist Dan Baum wrote in the April cover story of Harper’s about how he interviewed Ehrlichman in 1994 while working on a book about drug prohibition. Ehrlichman provided some shockingly honest insight into the motives behind the drug war. From Harper’s:
“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect.
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people .
You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin , and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities
We could arrest their leaders , raid their homes , break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news .
Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
