PENN STATE GOT A COCAINE STORY — SO WHERE’S THE MEDIA NOISE? 👀

Hold up… because if this was happening in the hood, somebody would already have a documentary, a task force and dramatic music playing behind the news report.

Pennsylvania authorities charged 14 people in an alleged cocaine-trafficking operation connected to Penn State students and the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternity houses. Prosecutors say cocaine was coming from New York and Philly, getting cut and packaged around fraternity houses, then sold mainly to students. Some fraternity pledges were allegedly pulled into helping package it.

And the plot gets deeper.

One alleged supplier, Thomas Robinson, was charged — and his father, Pittsburgh attorney Paul Robinson, was also charged with allegedly tampering with evidence and hindering the investigation.

Everybody charged deserves due process. But here’s the conversation:

Penn State is one of the most recognizable, predominantly white universities in America. So imagine this same alleged operation connected to an HBCU or a Black neighborhood.

Would we hear “college students who made mistakes”… or would we hear DRUG RING, GANG ACTIVITY and CRIME EPIDEMIC on repeat?

Because when cocaine hits certain communities, America calls it a war on drugs. When allegations involve fraternity houses and college campuses, somehow the volume feels different.

DA FRONT PORCH TAKE: 🎙️
Same powder. Same streets supplying it. Same laws. Keep that same media energy no matter what neighborhood, fraternity, university or complexion is involved.

That ain’t hate. That’s asking why the microphone gets louder depending on who’s standing in front of it.
