You've been on the kick that there's a racial angle to the whole thing?

the policy isn't racist, but the effects disproportionately affect different races differently

black people from the inner city bear the brunt of the WOD. this isn't some novel concept on this board

hell it's not even novel in terms of national politics. rand paul said just as much not long ago

Absolutely. Ending the WoD would benefit the black community the most.

I think it's very novel for you to assert that the board believes the WoD somehow UNJUSTLY impacts black people. e.g. The typical response when somebody points out the absurdly asymmetric powder/crack mandatory sentencing laws is "hey, don't do drugs in the first place and you won't have to worry about anything".

The article even goes on to talk about the literal millions of imprisoned...which is a big part of the "absent black fathers" issue which doesn't usually get mentioned (at least not with proper context).

This article is full of beliefs that I think it's very questionable to say that "most of the board" agrees with.
