The article is about how Trump spent his money on trading with Cuba. This was a big issue in 1998. In 1998, the American citizens were not allowed to trade or involve in any of the Caribbean countries, especially Cuba. Cuba is a communist country, therefore capitalist countries should not interfere with Cuba. Trump also threaten one group of Cuba-Americans in Miami before he launched his campaign. I was surprised when I read this article, because first of all, people would want to be the leader will have to be a great influence on people, instead of threatening lives.

    The drug trade is sometimes the only company or business to work for in extremely impoverished communities and the U.S government is punishing people for working for the only business in their area, and their only way to acquire a stable income. If drugs like marijuana were not so relentlessly hunted by the local police and DEA, the U.S could see a lot of people in these communities turn their illegal drug hustles into legitimate businesses leading to less violence in these communities and less people falling victim to a system meant to protect them like Dennis. Michelle Alexander further proves the disproportionate effect the War on Drugs has had on black communities when she compares numbers between pre-slavery America and the current America she sees when she looks around. Michelle has a Law degree from Stanford and has served for several years as director of the Racial Justice Project.

    Alexander was rushing to catch a bus to work one morning and saw this bright orange poster on a pole that was encouraging people to join in on a community meeting titled: "The Drug War Is The New Jim Crow. " She dismissed it as a silly claim mainly because as a successful black woman with a well-paying job as an attorney living in a nice neighborhood she had no reason to believe these things were still an issue. I believed she showed a lot of arrogance here and believed she thought she was better than everyone else. But once she went onto further research, Alexander came to grasp the concept and realized how the War on Drugs was blamed more on black and brown people and how secluded the middle and upper class were from the terrors of the lives poor people dealt with living in the city.

The War on Drugs is a government-led initiative aimed at stopping illegal drug use, distribution, and trade by issuing increased prison sentences for drug-related offenses, and it increased federal funding for drug-control agencies and treatment efforts. Instead, it has resulted in a disproportionate amount of incarcerations of minorities.

America’s drug issues were likely comparable to other country’s at one point in time, but today it can be blamed on the “street cultures” (para. 21) that continue to use and spread the use of illegal drugs. These street cultures transcend the common stereotype of drug users, such as low income communities in cities or welfare recipients, and can be found in every economic class and location.
