Those laws were passed AT THE REQUEST of black leaders to give their communities more protection from the drug that was, to quote them, "committing genocide on their own people".
ONly someone ignorant of what was actually happening at the time, could present this as "evidence" of racism.
I lived though that time, and I saw people use both. From my observations, crack cocaine is worse, and should be dealt with more severely.
YOu might disagree. Maybe I am even wrong. But my opinion is sincere and not designed to punish crack users more than power users.
Like hell they were. Black leaders did not ask the government to pass laws that put more young Black men in jail in laws at a 100 to 1 ratio to a drug predominantly used by whites......
Yes, they did. They saw the harm being done to blacks by crack and wanted the dealers to be stopped.
You ever watch a movie called New Jack City? From 1991?
You are using a fictional movie as a source to support your argument? Are you serious?
The stories we tell, tell a lot about US.
New Jack City is a window into what Hollywood thought of the crack epidemic in the late 80s/early 90s.
And it is exactly as I said it was. NOt from the government. NOt from some rightwing guy, but from one of the strongest stronghold of modern day liberalism.
Did you see it? Do you know what happens to the main character at the end?
It's a FICTIONAL MOVIE... come back with FACTS. Jesus.
This is amazing. I'm in a thread discussing a topic that is the basis of my college degrees that I have studied statistics, studies, and facts for 6 years...
And one of the people arguing against me wants to use a fictional movie as a resource to support their position. Wow.

There is a reason the numbers of Blacks being arrested for crimes and are locked up and serving longer jail time, it's called systemic racism. Don't believe me? Look at the 100 to 1 law created in the 1980's were people arrested for crack were given jail sentences the same as those with cocaine sentences under mandatory minimum sentencing at a 100 to 1 ratio. It was SPECIFICALLY created to target BLACKS and the government was spreading this lie that crack cocaine was more addictive and worse than powder cocaine, so if a person was caught with 5 grams of crack, they would receive the SAME mandatory minimum sentence as a person caught with 500 grams of powder cocaine. Do you have any idea how many rich white people got busted with cocaine in the 1980s and didn't get shit for it?
So, they didn't commit the crimes they were convicted of.
Are you a scientist or not? Do you understand percentages or not? Do you understand experiments or not?
Serious questions because there is no need to move on and answer your question if none of what you have posed about your life in the past is true.
Of course I do. The problem is, you don't.
One headline sets off a shit storm of denial and deflections, and the obvious questions are never asked or even considered:
How many homicides were committed by the use of a firearm?
How many guns used were stolen?
How many of the killers bought a gun legally, and their record suggests they ought not to own or possess a gun?
Of course the single presumption made was, it had to be a black guy.
Wry, take a look at the last 5 mass shooters. ALL of them were known, they all had committed crimes and ALL of them were let loose to go kill.
And all of them got a gun. Explain that, or do you agree with Trump and the NRA that no solution exists, so let's keep doing what we've been doing and pray for the dead and their family, friends and colleagues.

I take it you are too young to personally remember the 90s?
LOLAnd yet very little crime occurs in those two states. I wonder why?The only time that I have been threatened with violence within the last year was by a middle aged white guy wearing a MAGA hat who confronted me in a Circle K gas station, who invited me outside to duke it out over my anti-Trump bumper sticker.
Sounds like you avoid black neighborhoods.
I avoid Montana and Idaho, where you have to be a certified RW nut in order to live there.
Because they arm themselves and take over federal land in Oregon, Nevada, and then come down here to AZ and Texas, making it necessary for the National Guard and the Army to tell them to go home, with their camos and AR-15s.

No. I am not, and it is part of why I will not vote for Biden. He was a large supporter of the 1994 Clinton Crime Bill that Hillary deemed Black youth "Super predators." Now he won't own it and just tries to change the subject.
That has NOTHING to do with the fact you are trying to use a FICTIONAL movie to support your argument. If the movie is real, you should easily be able to find facts then right?
what about allah and muhammad?--Indonesia murder rate 5 times lower than Christian USAOne headline sets off a shit storm of denial and deflections, and the obvious questions are never asked or even considered:

A solution exists but your terrified of him.

They should have been in jail. Had they been in jail, they would not have been able to get the gun in the first place.
In other words, enforce the laws that are ALREADY on the books.
How simple is that. Problem is you don't get the mass murders you need for the propaganda campaign.
very pro-gun St Louis has double the murder rate of ChicagoNot surprisingly the top ten murder cities still include the usual suspects like Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore. Surprisingly Chicago doesn't make the list probably because everyone moved away or the census takers were murdered before they could take an accurate count of the citizens.

.......Honduras, Venezuela and El Salvador all catholic countries but have some of the highest murder rates
Countries ranked by Intentional homicides (per 100,000 people)

Your problems are you are too simple minded. We already have more people in prison, jails and juvenile detention than any other nation-state in the world.
And you want to incarcerate more for longer periods. Those in custody are already disaffected persons, and many more live in a dystopian existence.
The solution is not more callous conservatism, i.e. Trumpism. It is time for compassion, and a new path. One which is guided by the Sermon on the Mount [ don't infer that I'm religious, or even believe the historical Jesus was anything more than an inspired man; I see all organized religions as nothing more than a political party].
and?.....take away the black murders and the US still has a murder rate more than double of UK, etcThe murder rate can be predicted based on one thing, and one thing only, the number of black people who live in the city. Call me a racist, but you know it's true.
The UK only has 66 million people.
