Bullshit. The difference between crack and cocaine sentencing was based on the perception of the problem each created. It cannot be racism unless the disparity was aimed at punishing Blacks more harshly than Whites and that simply did not occur.

That's exactly what occurred.


Which surely was correct. Crack results in a far more intense but short lived dopamine release. Over time, this will result in more serious and addictive consequences.

Maybe I should defer to your experience, but I don't suspect you used crack. So you're just spinning on behalf of your powder.
