Black groups, generally speaking, are involved in mid to lower level drug trafficking
What about Leroy Nicky Barnes, Frank Lucas, Ellsworth Johnson and Stephanie St Clair?
Where do you think Barnes, Johnson, etc. got their drug supply? The Mafia was the at the top controlling the supply. Barnes, Johnson, etc. were at the mid-level, controlling wholesale operations to lower level retail distributors.
Lucas may or may not have had a direct heroin connection, at least for a time, to Southeast Asia but I don't think that's where all his supply came from if in fact he was as big as he claimed.
