Oh my!

to describe something or someone at some point in my life.

...that for white customers the fact that it "invigorates the sexual organs" is a selling point. But when the black community finally got access to it, the fears of black men raping white women suddenly make it a menace that should be outlawed.

I guess they weren't too worried about white men raping black women or white men raping white women.

And

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle = "Sherlock Holmes".

We got some fantastic works of literature from that stuff.

I jsut ordered the book mentioned in the article ( used, from Amazon).

In the South (at least) Coca-Cola - and other "soft" drinks - were often called "dope."

...one hundred seventy thousand kilos of coca leaf are brought into New Jersey every year, processed to extract all that is good and invigorating, then shipped to Coca-Cola plants all over the country to be blended in to Coke Syrup as "Merchandise No. 5."

But what happens to the stuff that's extracted?

The manufacturer submits quarterly reports to the DEA or Bureau of Narcotics or to whomever, but what really happens?

....It could be an interesting premise for a short work of fiction.

Oh, and thanks for re-pasting the great graphics from the article. Quite a lot to ruminate on in this one.
