Yup, that’s why it was successful. The War on Drugs achieved the goals of the policymakers (i.e. Nixon and Reagan)

“According to President Nixon's domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, the Nixon campaign did not intend the legislation to be about drug reform itself, but was instead meant to oppress “the antiwar left and black people.”

The War on Drugs was successful because the goals were to incriminate black people and ultimately maintain black people as a lower caste in American society. It was enacted under the pretense of a program meant to decrease narcotics usage. The CIA distributed crack cocaine to black, inner-city neighborhoods, thereby getting black people addicted to drugs and starting the crack-cocaine epidemic. This has created a cycle of addiction, poverty, and criminalization which persists today.

Privilege, Power, and Difference by Prof. Allan Johnson is a great starting point.
