Eventually we are going to realize that not being black is a racist act in and of itself
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That is definitely the ‘bottom line’.
BUT it will never be resolved.
Build a highway through a white neighborhood and the black neighborhood gripes that the whites get the money while they don’t.
Propose the same highway through the black neighborhood and the blacks complain they are always being disrupted.
Few years back big controversy over the sellers of crack getting double the time of the sellers of powder cocaine, which was, in effect, “RACIST”.
The black sellers couldn’t afford to buy the ‘good pure stuff’ so they had to buy it and cut it (whatever)
For a change I did agree with the argument about the disparity in sentencing.
Raise the sentence guideline for powder to coincide with the crack.
Well, I threw in the towel prior to the election, I AM AN AVOWED RACIST.
Now that I have made the declaration, they gain nothing by accusing me of it....
Fact is, crack cocaine is only 10% cocaine. If you want to be logical, then it should take ten times more crack to be a felony quantity.
However, the war on some drugs is anything but logical. It mainly has been a tool that allowed the feral government to acquire a monopoly on health care.
You can make the argument that, were it not for the war on some drugs, Obamacare could never have happened.
So thanks for that.
