No, not 'Fixed'. 'Reduced'. Frat boys will still get less time in jail than Scary Negroes.

BLACK people do drugs like this. And WHITE people do drugs like THIS.

Wasn't this on the West Wing?

Instead of reducing the crack penalty, they should up the cocaine penalties to meet it. Drugs are bad, mmmkay?

The disparity in sentencing is reflective of the disparity in damage caused to communities and users. Or it's racist, you make the call.

I know it's easy to jump on the race card for this topic, but I'd much rather see a debate about how the inequities of the laws are crafted more for the socio-economic status of the offender. Basically, this isn't about keeping black people in prison, it's about keeping poor people in prison. There's plenty of white and Latino crackheads out there, trust me.

Millzners: There's plenty of white and Latino crackheads out there, trust me.

Believe me, I know. I spent 10 years prosecuting them....

No. It is about keeping dangerous criminals in prison.

Great, now more blacks will be smoking crack.

The result of the disparity is still the same. Scary Negro Dealers get more time in jail than frat boy dealers.

Doesn't that make sense if what they are doing is more harmful?

I read somewhere that the sentencing guidelines for crack were raised in the 80s at the behest of black lawmakers trying to "save the community."

Also, has the Obama administration ever met a race dispute that it didn't get in the middle of?

The "post-racial president" has a specific agenda. Whites exist to subsidize blacks. Will this latest episode be enough to wake some of you up? Don't worry, there will be plenty more.

It's racism, plain and simple.

/racism, it's in the game.

Freaking soft on crime politicians...

To solve this issue, they should have simply raised the coke laws to equal the crack laws.

Meh. 3/10. Copied/pasted from spam. Make that 1.5/10.

Simspons Sorkin did it!

Yes, more than a decade ago. Where's Jed Bartlett when you need him?

Pretty sad, you say you spent 10 years prosecuting crackheads. Real piece of work you are, not even going after dealers but addicts. I hope you get cervical cancer you bleeding orifice.

So was guarding auschwitz.

rossocaere: Also, has the Obama administration ever met a race dispute that it didn't get in the middle of?

I would vote for King Obama for Life if he would stand up, on national TV, face down some douchenozzle like Al Sharpton, look him square in the eye, and say something to the effect of "Step off, n*gger, I got this."

lilplatinum: Real piece of work you are, not even going after dealers but addicts.

Wow. Cervical cancer? That one is one of the few I'm not a great candidate for. We went after dealers, too. If the users we caught gave up their source, they walked. Nature of the beast.

/are you feeling not so fresh today?

nopokerface:

/are you feeling not so fresh today?

I've got a brutal hangover.

Sooooo.....because blacks do more crack we need to lessen the penalties. What a load of crap.

lilplatinum: So was guarding auschwitz.

Nice!

I see from your profile that pushing people's buttons is an interest for you. This is not really a button for me. Can't we just play Hold 'em?

no its Coke and a Smile, Crack and a Nod - subby reversed it.

lilplatinum: Fair enough, I need to troll more subtlely in the future.

On the plus side, you made it into my profile!

/if that's a plus....
//people say the nicest things about me;)

All this time I thought the disparity in the sentencing was due to the potency of the drug.

In the 80's Crack was exploding on the street and was/is highly addictive, since it's simply concentracted cocaine.(compare a glass of wine with a glass of white lightening for about the same price.)
Silly me. I thought we were trying to curb the rapid rise of crack. I didn't know it was about race.

/there you go...just keepin the black man down again.

Ding! ding! ding!

So addicts are not a problem, right? I'm not going to take the time to do your homework, but just google the amount of theft, robbery, larceny, prostitution, etc. related to addicts needing money to get their fix.

Lock 'em up. It's not racism, it's law enforcement.

ShillinTheVillain: So addicts are not a problem, right? I'm not going to take the time to do your homework, but just google the amount of theft, robbery, larceny, prostitution, etc. related to addicts needing money to get their fix.

Most of the crime that comes with prohibition is a direct result of prohibition itself. Alcoholics don't generally resort to theft, robbery, larceny, and prostitution (which shouldn't be a crime either) to fund their habits.

Amazing how in areas where at least soft drugs are decriminalized don't have out of control crime rates and actually have lower rates of addiction than our narco police state.

And non violent addicts are much better served by treatment rather than incarceration on the tax payer dime.

Under a 25-year-old law, mandatory minimum sentences involving crack cocaine -- a drug more commonly used by blacks than whites

that's not true.

ShillinTheVillain: Lock 'em up. It's not racism, it's law enforcement.

Law enforcement is racism and if you don't acknowledge drug addicts as their own race, you are also a racist.

/racist.

I'm somebody now! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

Why not lock them up for the theft, robbery, larceny and prostitution?

People do all those things to get money for a wide variety of things, like food, lodging, laziness, etc. We shouldn't jail you for the reason you do something, but for what you do.

lilplatinum: Things are going to start happening to me now.

If you need an agent, EIP.

So....

should selling a .22 derringer carry the same prison sentence as selling an AA 12?

We should outlaw being poor, simple.

Sorry, but I'm not getting on your "legalize crack" train. It should be prohibited, and people that choose to break the law by using it and then further break the law to support the habit should go to prison. Or treatment for first time offenders, but it still costs the taxpayer either way.

Whoah. That oil can you're standing next to seems to be a little leaky. Weird.

Reduced from 100:1 to 18:1. How'd they come up with that?
