For crack cocaine, it's the lower ends of the socioeconomic ladder, while powdered cocaine is what the rich bankers and wall street types are doing off their escorts for the night. It's the same drug, cocaine, just in different forms, different methods of absorption into your body. Why is it that the one which affects the disproportionately poor black is punished way, way harsher? You can talk all you want about black behavior, but why is it that the laws are different to begin with, and is this a problem from your perspective?

Mind you, I am not trying to take a side here. I just want your side fleshed out a bit more.
Poor whites do crack also. Punishments for meth are very high as well a drug mostly used by whites. It all revolves around wealth not race. Blacks will never be able to advance in American society like they whine for until they discard their asbsurd and constant victim complex. Where is the thread for the beating of that white man in Baltimore by those blacks? Now THERE is a racially motivated crime. I'm sick of America's obsession with color its pathetic.

GC seriously you change your opinion on everything so quickly..... do you possess any deep seated beliefs whatsoever
