Little nugget of history... Know who was the big proponent on stringent drug laws with regards to crack? Speaker Tip O'Neill (D) of Massachusetts thanks to Len Bias' heart exploding before he played for the Celtics.
Yes, Congress eagerly signed off on the Drug War.

The heightened penalties for crack vs powdered coke have been pointed to as a massive reason for the out of whack racial sentencing for drug possession.
Correct. And it wasn't on accident. I would say that was the single most relevant antecedent to what we are seeing today...unnecessary laws creating an imprisoned underclass.
BTW, basically every single thing they "taught" the population about crack was propaganda. I'm talking about the "just one hint of one hit of crack and you are instantly addicted...FOR LIFE" type of crap.
