Because one crime is committed more often than another, it should be punished less? Playing the race card for crimes is the goal, and these are the same people who cite “discriminatory” prosecution of blacks, due to the disparity in prison inmate composition.
Maybe it’s like giving different sentences for DUI while loaded on gin and tonics versus DUI while loaded on Colt 45s.
How are the crimes different, that they should received different sentences?
Hey - I’ve got an idea: Either fight the War on Drugs to win, or quit altogether. Cocain vs. Crack - who cares. They both are illegal, and both are horrible, destructive poisons on humans.
In the meantime - how many welfare babies being born on powder cocaine?
If the race-baiters want to stir the pot, how about working on something a bit more constructive, like figuring out WHY blacks are more likely to buy/sell/use crack cocaine. Then begin dealing with that reason. And I don’t want to hear anything about “the white man makes them” or “they gotta have a drug, and that is what they can afford”...
Could it be because crack users are more often violent criminals than coke snorters?
