Desegregation busing 

Concept that school integration can only be achieved through artificial race quotas in schools. Students of different races are forced by law to each other's schools. Opposed by many black leaders, did not help black students - the policy's intended benefactors - and also destroyed sense of community in all school districts affected.

This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! 

This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! — This is an example of the literary reversal theme wherein a well known oft quoted line or trope is inverted to show another facet of meaning to the idea. This example occurs in the movie New Jack City that takes the famous trope “THIS IS NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS” and inverts it to make the point that ultimately narcotic drugs did destroy the uneasy symbiotic balance between the strange bed fellows: organized crime and organized policing.

In words of Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown in the same movie: MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT RUNS THE MARATHONS.

Can you say Iran Contra Drugs for Arms Scandal, boys and girls? I knew that you could!!!

No matter what anyone tries to pretend: IT’S ALWAYS PERSONAL TO SOMEONE.

ALWAYS.
Ice-T as Scotty Appleton in New Jack City: “This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! I want to shoot you so bad my dick is hard!!”
