“(American youth) are slaves to the narcotic, continuing addiction

until they deteriorate mentally, become insane, and turn to violent

crime and murder!” -Harry Anslinger, 1932

Promiscuity, Addiction, Deviance

“Colored students at the University of Minnesota partying

with female students (white) smoking dope and getting their sympathy with stories of racial

persecution. Result: pregnancy. “-Harry Anslinger, 1937

“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and

entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana

usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with

Negroes, entertainers and any others.”-Harry Anslinger, Congressional Testimony, 1937

Shock!

Brutality!
