What about Romney tho, white people don't stick together at all.
That is unless they all voted for Obama out of white guilt for dominating western society for so long.
This is what the legacy of ‘white privilege’ looks like in Bill O’Reilly’s hometown

Drug sales/dealers aren't really the bulk of drug related prosecutions. Possessions are. Blacks compromise a small amount of drug users but are disproportionately punished for it. Also the fact that crack laws are significantly harsher than cocaine laws, and crack is something that effected the AA community at higher level than whites. Penalties for cocaine were much lighter than those for crack, and both are considered "hard" drugs. Drug laws ARE used to hurt the black community, that coupled with racial profiling ensures we will make up the bulk of the prison population for non violent drug offenses.
What foes jay z and the like have to do with drug laws?
Yea, crack is wack and that's why the penalties are harsher than cocaine was.
That's a good thing right? We certainly don't want anyone in the community using crack right?
They're both wack...
But crack is certainly worse because of the way it was cut and that's why it had harsher sentences than cocaine.
The few people i know who smoked crack lost their teeth and destroyed their lives.
On the other hand the casual coke users i know almost all have good jobs and family's now.
That's true but, the real reason the government went harder on crack was because it was minorities getting that big money from it. Cocaine was a rich mans drug. It was $100 a gram. Freebase was even harder for regular people to get because you needed ether, and other shyt to make it. When crack came out, people was getting MONEY because it was easy to make. When I write money I mean MILLIONS. Unless you was around then, you may not understand but, a lot of people were broke, and when crack came out the money was flowing like crazy. Some parts of NYC used to look like third world countries. Flowing means it went from illegal people to legal people because the dealers had to spend the money they got. It did fukk up the community but, no one knew it was going to be what it became. This is why in the 90's blacks stopped using it like that, and crime went down. Here's a little sidenote. Blunts became popular because it helped ween people off their crack addiction because it helped them get a similar high, although much smaller, without the addiction. Rap helped promote this whether people like to admit this or not.
Remember this, if the government does something, its all about money not because they care about you. They gave harsher laws because they had to get rid of competition, and a lot of blacks got tired of the violence that came with all the money so they pushed for harsher penalties. Unfortunately, it hurt them also because they was using those laws improperly against us. Basically, it all came down to money.
BTW, don't get it twisted, those "casual" users of cocaine will eventually get taken out also. Just give it some time. Especially, if they get top quality stuff.

I agree with your post but i don't think harsher laws on crack was an attempt to stop blacks from getting money.
95% of black people don't want crack destroying the community and agree the harsher laws were a good thing.

That's why black people have been working to repeal mandatory minimums for drug offenses right? I understand what you're saying but you know damn well crack wasn't a problem until it started making it's way into white neighborhoods. Harsher laws on crack had dudes in prison for decades for trying to put food on the table. Let's see if the government is as harsh on the pain pill pushers since that's the new epidemic and almost as deadly/addictive as crack.

EXACTLY! Eligible black veterans were systematically denied benefits that resulted in wealth generation for just about every other ethnoracial group. That's around the same time that Jews were accepted into the white fold.
