When The War Really Started

This is a response to Kathy Kinsley who commented on my post When The War Started.

There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others. – Harry J. Anslinger

Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, jazz musicians, and entertainers. Their satanic music is driven by marijuana, and marijuana smoking by white women makes them want to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and others. It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death — the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind. – Harry J. Anslinger

The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races. – Harry J. Anslinger

Colored students at the University of Minnesota partying with (white) female students, smoking [marijuana] and getting their sympathy with stories of racial persecution. Result: pregnancy. – Harry J. Anslinger

I wish I could show you what a small marihuana cigarette can do to one of our degenerate Spanish-speaking residents. That’s why our problem is so great; the greatest percentage of our population is composed of Spanish-speaking persons, most of who are low mentally, because of social and racial conditions. – Harry J. Anslinger

Marijuana is the most violence causing drug in the history of mankindMost marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. – Harry J. Anslinger

Eric advises me in the comments that the quote “Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics…” is disputed. It is not out of line with the rest of the Anslinger oeuvre. Eric also points out that the racist origins of the drug war are not in dispute.

    I got slammed for using the (unsourced) Anslinger quote that “Most marijuana smokers are Negroes”:

    The guy who disputed that particular quote is a ‘net friend of mine and undoubtedly a prohibitionist.

    (Leonard Feather wrote that Louis Armstrong smoked 6 joints a day; Milton “Mezz” Mezzerow, the noted saxophonist, arranger, opium addict and drug dealer, had a source of potent Mexican pot he sold in Harlem in the 1930s, including to Armstrong, Calloway and others. “The Real Mezz”.)
