Why didn't the President and the Higher Authorities do anything when CRACK was tearing apart black families? But now that OPIODS are taking out WHITE people, Higher Authorities want to do somthing, becus this is effecting their people. Darn Shame!

Well, that's a multifaceted question with a lot of different answers, but the most reasonable answer would be that they did. The response to the crack epidemic was pretty influential in our society even to this day, and it was known as "the war on drugs". Quit race-baiting and open a book.

Because during the crack epidemic it only affected black folks so they didnt care.
