Universal Basic Income

No. I am not. I am claiming that your ride on the Nixon bus was different than people from systematically oppressed areas.

What is a systematically oppressed area? Does small town sticks Nebraska count? Ya know, the clod hopper fly over people.

Any areas still reeling from segregation policies and the "separate but equal" lie that was told for decades.

Any person affected by Nixon's War on Drugs, which was, as told by his Chief Strategist:

“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

I am not saying your ride was easy.
