Two men have died, and a third is currently recovering, from
methamphetamine overdoses alleged to have been facilitated by a
wealthy, powerful and politically-connected man in Los Angeles
named Ed Buck.
The victims were black men � so is this crime about racism, as a
person close to one of the victims is suggesting? Project 21 Co-
Chairman Horace Cooper says it is likely Buck�s abuse of
influence, rather than racism, that may be more to blame.
In a segment on the Fox News Channel program �The Ingraham
Angle,� Horace challenged Jasmyne Carrick, a spokesman for the
family of Gemmel Moore. Moore died of an overdose in Buck�s
house in 2017.
�I�m not gonna sit here and ignore the fact that the victims
were black,� said Carrick. In response, Horace pointed out that
the victims were both black and gay. Buck is a prominent gay
rights activist, and the charges against him claim that he acted
like a �violent, dangerous sexual predator� and had a fetish
involving injecting people with large quantities of drugs.
Noting the recent series of revelations about people of
prominence using their influence to skirt the law, Horace said:
We waited way too long for Jeffrey Epstein. Way too long for
Harvey Weinstein�
It is not true to say that this issue turns on race. What this
issue is turning on � what we need to watch � is: Are we
allowing people right in our midst to use their wealth and
influence to literally get away with murder?
Still disagreeing with Horace, Carrick flatly responded, �that�s
my truth.�
That may be her truth, but Horace explained that turning a blind
eye to powerful predators is something that has hurt black
people in this instance but can affect anyone without regard to
their sex or race:
In the bluest city in America [Los Angeles], they don�t care
about other black men who are exploited. If they don�t care
there, there isn�t any hope anywhere.
Here�s the much more likely story: This man�s influence allowed
him to act with impunity.
Buck has been a prominent donor to liberal political candidates
and causes � something that may have led to influential people
within his network ignoring the allegations against him. Horace
suggested that a conservative facing such allegations would not
have been treated in a similar manner.
