Today we'll watch from 19:10 to 33:22 in the documentary "Crack in the System". In this section you'll see many things, including Gary Webb (RIP), author of Dark Alliance. We'll hear more from him next week.
In this section you'll see how Freeway Rick got introduced to cocaine and the money associated with it. There are 5 questions today. Please spend more time on them than you'd normally. Think of this as your week's end quiz.
- Who was Rick's first connection to powdered cocaine?
- A few people talk about Freeway Ricky Ross in this section. They don't talk about him like a typical drug dealer, they speak of him in a much different way. Explain the way they talk about him and how it's not what you'd expect.
- In your opinion, how was Freeway Rick able to rise in the ranks and make all that money that you saw in the video clip?
- Who targeted the black neighborhood for the drugs and why?
- At the end of this section you hear the statement that the "drug war is worse than the drugs themselves". What does this mean?
