Opioid Crisis Annotated

[Segue]
But Russia, they knew, they knew how to attack us
They- They know our weakness.
Race. Yes.
That’s our Achilles’ heel
Race. That’s it.

[Bit]
So they brought out Trump to rally the racists
Exactly what they did. That fucking wall… That wall is racist
That wall is… It ain’t about protecting your borders, It ain’t about protecting our borders
He’ll tell you, “Oh, well, we want the wall ’cause it keeps out all the... all the... the- the gangs and the… and the... and the opioid crisis.”
Yeah, that’s a message to white people
That’s for white people
Opioid crisis. Because of racism, black people, we don’t even get our hands on opioids
They don’t even give ’em to us

White people get opioids like they Tic Tacs
It amazes me how many opioids you motherfuckers have
I’m at work, I’m sitting in a writers’ room with a bunch of white people, right? And I’m like, “Damn, I got a headache.”
White people start pulling out all kind of pills and shit
Just fucking loose pills in Ziploc bags
“Would you... would you like an oxycodone? I got oxycodone.” “No, she should take a Percocet. She should take a Percocet.”
Oh, other girl over there preparing a needle. “Give me your arm.”
What the fuck?
White people get the op-i-oids
There was a study… There was- It’s racism
There was a study and it showed that doctors, they actually prescribe opioids… frequently to white people than they do to blacks
They don’t give us opioids, because they are sympathetic
They’re like, “Oh, this white person, they’re in such pain"
"I hate to see white people hurting.”

“They can’t handle this pain
Let me… Here, let me give you this, Let me give you these opioids. Get that pain away.”
They don’t give us the opioids
They’re like, “Ah, you can take it. Walk it off.”

I had a double mastectomy
You know what they sent my black ass home with?
Ibu-fucken-profen
Shit, to get some opioids, a black person will have to show up in the emergency room holding they own head detached from the body.
“Uh… uh… Excuse me. Uh... Can I get some help out here? Uh... My body’s still in the car, but, uh…” Got to… Got to treat opioid addicts, you do
Got to treat them
We weren’t trying to treat crackheads, were we?
No, we were capturing crackheads, locking up crackheads
Weren’t treating them
You didn’t see anybody busting down the door of a crack house, boom, “Okay, where’s the crackheads? I need to check your blood pressure.”
“Let’s all sit in a little crack circle and talk about our feelings.”
“Let’s get to the root of this. Pookie, would you like to start first?”
