When it happens in Lake County, IN (think Gary), its no big deal, or hasn’t been a big deal since nothing is left up there after the steel mills shut down and it went bust. When it happens in Scott County, IN its a national pandemic!
Truth is, both black and white people in the abandoned, forgotten parts of the state are no different than Indians on the Rez succumbing to alcoholism and other vices. Take a livelihood away from people and they will turn to recreational activities to fill in the boredom.
Walmart just doesn’t provide that many fufilling jobs in these places to supplement what has been lost when industry leaves.
