This is really a message to Gary Chambers, but it applies to other baiters as well.
I understand that alot of blacks in modern society are still marginalized. It is not right that in 2017, we still have to encounter certain forms of racism.
That being said, your tactics of raising suspicion and causing social unrest are completely asinine. By using these victim complex arguments, all you are doing is discrediting the work of blacks who actually are serving their communities.
We need to ask ourselves as black men "why do we constantly kill each other", "why can't we be more involved in ensuring the success of our progeny", and "why do we defend criminal behavior and social irresponsibility in lieu of replacing it with accountability"
Stop the baiting, the more you and others do it, the less effective it becomes in the grand scheme of politics and civil rights.
There are many injustices in this world that we will face Gary, but at some point we have to look at ourselves and realize we can't blame other races and government programs for all of our failures.
I want to give you an e-hug.
Is that kosher?

Let's take a look at some of the clear biases that contribute to the racial strife that we face. Cocaine. The sentences for possessing powder cocaine have been way less harsh than possessing crack cocaine. Why is that? Should possession of cocaine be just as bad being that it is the key ingredient for crack?
You obviously don't know more whites smoke crack than blacks.
Also, it's difficult to find powder.
According to my friend.

So, which part(s) of the OP do you actually disagree with? All of it?

Please do this.
But I'd understand if you wanted to remain anonymous because the backlash from the black community would be no fun for you.

Regarding the crack penalties, a couple of points.
The different penalties were passed because of the perception (which is real) that crack was much more addictive and devastating that powder cocaine. If I remember correctly, the black caucus pushed for its passage because of the devastation it was causing to black communities.
Secondly, I can only speak for Louisiana laws, but there was little to no difference in penalties for crack and powder on the state level. The disparity was on federal penalties. The vast number of drug arrests are at the state level.
Thirdly, the penalty differences applied to any person, white or black. It just so happened that it was either more prevalent in black communities or the arrests were more focused in those areas.
Fourth, penalties for heroin and meth were/are pretty severe, more so than powder cocaine.. Meth is now on the same level as crack in the federal system. Distribution of Heroin in Louisiana was penalized with mandatory life during the 70's and 80's! Heroin was prevalent in black communities too, but it was never and is still seen as a "black man's drug".
Lastly, the disparity in federal sentencing was greatly reduced a few years ago - and rightly so. The push to reduce drug penalties across the board is increasing. Drug courts have been established in almost all state and federal courts. The changes are arriving now on that issue.

I am bookmarking this for when you don't get a job with that engineering degree from Southern.

I said he needs to say it to black people. I know I'm speaking to a bunch of dumb fricks, but where did I say I agree or disagree with what he said?

quote:And this is where the bias opportunities come in. Throughout the south cocaine has been punished far less harshly over the years than crack has. It isn't just that though, sentences for blacks for certain crimes have always been harsher for blacks than they have been whites on local and state levels. There is no denying that.

Maybe he is trying to get GC to read it, since he reads the board.
