“Any law that disproportionately incarcerates people of color is repealed.”

There is only ONE!
Crack vs. powdered cocaine.

In ALL other cases it is the BEHAVIOR, and NOT “the law”.

OK, you actually noted the ONE example where this might be true. Maybe YOU should run for Pres!

Actually it was black lawmakers in the 80s during the crack epidemic who wanted the penalties to be stiffer for crack use in order to slow the destruction of black neighborhoods.

Flash forward to Emperor Zero's day and those same laws are racist. And so, federal drug laws were changed to remove the disparity.
