I would speculate that the reason that drug laws disproportionately affect minority communities is because of poverty rather than racism.
The two do not have to be mutually exclusive. A society built alongside and still influenced by deeply ingrained, lingering biases against specific races or ethnicities will, intentionally or not, create an environment where those same races or ethnicities have worse education, job opportunities, and overall quality of life. Those most lacking in options and resources and any way out of that situation in turn have a greater chance to start using drugs to escape, a fact which is then used by those who maintain the lingering biases which drove the minorities to that situation in the first place as justification that they were right all along.
And so the problem persists.

The “Crying Immigrant Girl” in the TIME Photo has been found to be misleading
The picture going around with a young child was not separated from her family.
Anyone with children will tell you kids cry all the time. can’t have cook, will cry. Has to go to bed, will cry.
Well I could be wrong, but maybe, just maybe, it’s a compiled image that’s supposed to be representative of the problem, and not an actual picture of Donald disinterestedly watching a crying child against an endless red void.
