Political pundits love to break issues into segments.
Usually, minority issues are supposed to be about welfare, the inner city, and affirmative action. But the current War on Drugs policy has caused such a disproportionate share of damage to minority members of American society that it should be on that list. One of the most egregious War on Drugs affronts to minorities is the racist practice of profiling. Suspects are targeted for detentions and searches based on physical characteristics. Take the case of African American Willie Jones, a contractor who was flying to Houston from Nashville to buy some shrubbery.
