Your compelling piece reminded me of Dave Chappelle's bit on the many white heroin addicts in his Ohio town. “These white folks look just like us during the crack epidemic. I didn’t have insight as to how the white community must’ve felt watching the black community go through the scourge of crack. Because I don’t care, either… hang in there, whites!”

Of course, it's one of Chappelle's searing jokes. He points up hypocrisy like no other.
