His thumb is un-tucked well before his hand (with only one finger extended) reaches his mouth. He's not pinching it between any other fingers, as only his index finger is raised... so how exactly did he insert the zyn with one finger?
Last year, he was quoted as saying "Luckily, I don’t snort, er, cocaine! It’s just not my thing.”
Kind of a weird thing to say. Most people would say "I don't use cocaine" or "I don't do cocaine". But using the word "snort" to remain truthful, and then being caught on camera rubbing coke on his gums seems pretty clear.
I'd go as far to say that's 99% cocaine and maybe 1% that it's a zyn or something else.
Coke is not crack, seems like semantics, but the Rich do not see them the same. It wasn't a war on drugs to stop cocaine pouring into the US being used by white communities, it was to stop crack being used by poorer people of color. If drugs had stayed expensive and exclusive to white folks Regain wouldn't have felt as strongly for sure.
The same thing with unemployment/social security being a great thing when white people had it to protect their "hard work", but when people of color got to use the same system it turned into "welfare queens" based on a the story of a single black woman that abused the system.
You should watch the documentary "Crack" - it was very eye opening, and contrary to your argument. Their perspective is that Crack was very deliberately facilitated in poorer communities. Less of a "hey those are our drugs, and you guys can't have them and more of a "if we feed you drugs, you'll be too busy fighting amongst yourselves perspective. I'm guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Cocaine and crack are the same drug in different form factors. Those forms factors are tyoically used by different demographics and certainly nudged in that demogtaphic distinction by the CIA and given the excuse to the DEA to selectively enforce policy against racial minorities.
