Your hard-earned tax dollars are being used to figure out how “racist structures” make certain people use meth.
Researchers at Emory University (NIDA) received almost $700,000 in federal funding from the National Institutes of Health to study entitled “Structural Influences on Methamphetamine Use among Black Gay and Bisexual Men in Atlanta," which aims to determine how “structural racism” influences gay black men to use meth. According to researchers, current meth treatments do not account for the “unique” health impacts of “ structural racism and discrimination (SRD)."
The study parameters cited potential reasons such as housing discrimination, gentrification, racial and income segregation, and a discriminatory LGBT community climate for the recent increase in gay black men using meth.
"Methamphetamine use is an emerging threat to the health and well-being of Black gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM)," researches postulate, according to the MIH website. "The proposed project will examine pathways between four forms of structural racism and discrimination (housing discrimination, gentrification, racial and income segregation, and discriminatory community climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals) and methamphetamine use in this population.

"This information will be used to inform structural interventions to prevent methamphetamine use and related harms among Black GBMSM," the description explains.
However, the study, funded under the guise of preventing abuse, does not adequately explain why a tax-funded project is in the interest of the public that's paying for it.
