And white people were the ones taking the cocaine in the soda. This mentality ties into uneven incarceration rates. Whites believe it is their god given right to get high privately and when/with whomever they want. Coca-cola can be a corporate drug dealer. Put that same drug in the hands of Black people? They need to be imprisoned even more than whites who use it more and if you cook it and sell it, your entire life is ruined when companies sold this powder form to whites for billions of profit and never went to jail or got shut down or anything. Meanwhile, Black drug traffickers or larger salesman receive life sentences. Whites can sell and use drugs with impunity. Why? Because as both a source of pleasure and a resource, white supremacy dictates only whites can safely handle pleasure of any kind and because it also dictates they receive all the resources of everything over everyone at the cost and detriment of particular groups (ie. millions of Black people in jail for petty drug related crimes which affects families and generational wealth for a long time while white men and their families make billions incarcerating, legislating for incarceration, building prisons, being police etc.)
