   But black people suck more dick.   
      
   In the media, there was a mocking smugness directed towards him   
   because he used crack. Crack is a poor person's drug. It is   
   associated with African-Americans. It is perceived as the lowest   
   of the low.   
      
   The social stigma is still there, even out on the streets. I   
   have spent a lot of time working with and photographing addicts   
   in New York City. A heroin addict, white and homeless, spotting   
   an empty crack vile, told me, "Fucking niggers and their drugs."   
   Two feet away was his half-squeezed lime, used to cut crack,   
   allowing him to inject it mixed with heroin. A street speedball.   
      
   Lately, since heroin doesn't get me very high, I've been buying   
   and smoking rocks. Every time I get crack that's kinda yellow I   
   get pissed because it's not as good as the "cream" (that's what   
   they call the all white crack around here). I figure the yellow   
   stuff is made using a bunch of baking soda. Now when I get crack   
   that's all-white and looks like it's just rocked up coke, I get   
   so happy like I'm already high.   
      
   Anyone know the difference between the two? Other than quality.   
   Is the all white made with ammonia and not soda? And, anyone   
   know any type of way to tell the difference between OK crack,   
   and the crack that'll make ya throw up after a hit? So far, only   
   the cream has done that to me.   
      
   What's the difference between the two?

   I'm not sure that I follow your reasoning. In Canada crack can't   
   be the drug of African Americans. There are no African   
   Americans. But there is, nonetheless, crack. Why not an article   
   addressing who the crack users are in Canada?   
   If you want to bring preconceived American notions into the   
   argument, fine. But then you should make clear that you're   
   talking of the US situation, and don't pretend that it is   
   applicable to Canada as well.
