Episode notes
In the debates around the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000, language that was being used by people lobbying for the bill included things like a new kind of addict. One of the racially coded languages is that things that go wrong for white people are a social problem that can and should be addressed. But there's a naturalization of the kinds of problems when they appear in black and brown communities that requires less explanation.
