Reefer Madness Revived by Racist Representative?

Representative Steve Alford stated that the reason drugs were outlawed in Kansas and throughout the US is because black people responded poorly to drugs because of their "character makeup" (their genetics).

As I may have misunderstood what he was attempting to say, I listed his quote below and put the video at the bottom so you can evaluate for yourself if he is a State Representative attempting to protect the public.

“What you really need to do is go back in the ’30s, when they outlawed all types of drugs in Kansas (and) across the United States. “What was the reason why they did that?”

“One of the reasons why, I hate to say it, was that the African Americans, they were basically users and they basically responded the worst off to those drugs just because of their character makeup, their genetics and that. And so basically what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to do a complete reverse with people not remembering what has happened in the past.”
