As a white advocate, one of my biggest concerns is America’s “opioid crisis.” The USA’s annual number of deaths due to drug overdoses — overwhelmingly caused by opioids, synthetic or otherwise — is catastrophically high. Those deaths are disproportionately white as well, which is one of the reasons this crisis is sometimes referred to as the “white death,” and why some of the pills most associated with the crisis (e.g. OxyContin and Fentanyl) are nicknamed “hillbilly heroin.” This problem is a big part of the reason why life expectancy of whites is going down.

Year Total Overdose Deaths in the US 2014 47,055 2015 52,404 2016 63,600 2017 70,237 2018 68,500

(Sources for these numbers, and details about them can be found here and here.)

That is a total of 301,796 overdose deaths in the last five years — more than the populations of Pittsburgh or Cincinnati. Our liberal elites don’t care much about these casualties — after all, they are mostly poor whites — but those who care about our race should remember that we don’t need just better immigration laws, a wall on the border, and an end to affirmative action. We need spiritual and economic renewal for our people.

A sign of just how bad this crisis has become can be found in the warnings pharmacies post about not carrying the most notorious opioids, and the ads one now sees in major cities for Naloxone, a drug that can be administered to someone in the midst of an opioid overdose to save their life.

Our political class, which seems to care more about illegal immigrants, will note help us survive this plague. The mainstream media prefer to look the other way. Universities are too busy teaching about “white privilege” to educate students about this crisis. It’s up to us.
