Accuracy Alert!

Based on these credible sources, it can be concluded that the claim 'Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs did not hurt black communities in America' is not valid. Evidence indicates that the 'War on Drugs' led by Ronald Reagan and previous administrations resulted in mass incarceration, especially targeting Black and Brown communities. These policies disproportionately affected social mobility in Black communities and often resulted in police brutality in impoverished regions. Further, efforts like the 'just say no' campaign were ineffective and did not address the root causes of drug abuse.
