Attention Democrats Who Are Black: Congress ONLY Reduces Crack Sentencing Down To 18 To 1 Vs Powder

US Congress votes to cut cocaine sentencing disparity

Let me start out for the record:   CRACK IS NOT A "BLACK DRUG"!!

There is no attribute about crack which targets melanated people.  PERIOD.

It also stands to reason that:

• Menthol Cigarettes are not Black smokes
• Malt Liquor is not a Black drink
• Fried Chicken and Watermelon are not Black foods

All of these are points that have been adopted after the fact based on the choices, preferences or mere stereotypes for Black people.   I did not include "Welfare" and "Affirmative Action" on the list because, as we are reminded when the assignment is made - 

• There are more White women on Welfare than Black
• White Women benefit from Affirmative Action than do Blacks

When it comes to the high rate of crack arrest by Black people my argument is far more evident than any other claim:  The choice of the drug dealer to sell crack into the Black community rather than powdered cocaine is related to the ease of transporting the drug in rock form.   In addition to the preference of the consumers to smoke the rock form of cocaine the "Street Pirate Drug Gangs' " own selfishness must be considered.

This preference comes from the consideration of the ease of retrieving the drug from the jeans pocket of a carrier of the drug.

1. When a baggie of powdered cocaine breaks into one's pocket there is a great challenge to separate the white powder from the blue and grey lint particles that is mixed amongst the product.  Snorting this lint into the nasal passage is quite painful.  ( :-)  )
2. When a baggie of crack cocaine breaks inside of the drug dealers pocket he only needs to turn his pockets inside out, spilling the contents upon a table and can simply pick the valued product from the dust

But What About The Great Imbalance In Drug Arrests?

Individuals such as professor Michelle Alexander have pointed to the conspiracy against Black people by noting the great imbalance in drug arrests between Black and White drug suspects.  The claim is that "if you are White" you get drug treatment.  "If you are Black" you get jail time.   

In this argument they set up the notion that in the very same court room with the same judge - the first case with a White defendant the judge rules one way, upon seeing the race of the next defendant as Black the judge gives him "Life!!!".  This is simply not the case.

Instead these differentiated sentences are correlated to the geographic location of the court and the prevailing problems of rampant drug dealing ON THE STREETS.   Inner city drug dealing has more street corner transactions where crime and terrorized communities that have triggered a stronger response by the police and district attorney.  The so called "White areas" host drug users that transact and consume their drugs in a more clandestine manner by comparison.  

The proof of the differing characteristic of the two 'drug games' can be seen in the rates of drug related murders and how Black people are dramatically overrepresented in the victim count. 

Ironically several web sites that I reviewed make the claim that the two peak areas shown in the graph are due to government enforcement of "prohibition".   The first peak surrounding the crack down upon alcohol in the early part of last century.  The second peak due to the "War On Drugs". The above chart in which the peaks show a spread far outside of these two "Wars" show these claim to be dispositive. 

How do they explain the recent reduction in homicides?  Did the "War On Drugs" stop?

What Will The Black Activist Do About This "Slap In The Face Of Black People"?

Assuming that you do believe that "crack is a Black drug" - the recent "1:18 Compromise" in the Congress, which is expected to receive the signature of President Obama is akin to the slavery era "3/5ths Compromise" being adjusted to "18/20th's" but not parity.  No?

If you are serious about your contention of racial assignment I challenge you to take to the streets and rebuke the notion that this "Black drug" is more of a threat than its "White crystalline" form of powder.

For me I will continue to stick to my "don't start none, won't be none" disposition.  If a person keeps their hands off of drugs they will not enter into the criminal justice system.  If you find cops planting crack on a Black man who was merely walking down the street - call me and I'll join in on your protest.

Then there is my "Crack Kit" idea that has not been take up.
