I think (hope) this will boomerang on the Democrats. There is still a very large percentage of what the Democrats call "minorities" who are decent, hard working, clear thinking people. They are not going to condone or acquiesce to the government giving their sons and daughters crack pipes and other dope paraphernalia.
@240B I believe that,too. These decent,honest blacks may have gone along with some of the Dim programs in the HOPE that things might improve,AND because they literally have no one to vote for in their districts that ISN'T a criminal,a communist,or both,so they do the same thing the typical conservative does in elections. They vote for the one they think will do the least harm.
There is no way in HELL that ANYBODY is going to believe that giving away free crack pipes is going to make their neighborhoods safer for them and their children,though.
I honestly think a conservative black could now take over most of those black districts in NYC. Giving out crack pipes HAS to be a giant step too far for most family people to put up with it.
