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

The problem you have, is you participate in threads which interest you, mainly threads dealing with racial injustice that you start and attract posters that obviously care a great deal about arguing with you.
If you have been here for a few years and participated in a wide variety of threads you would find this issue has been discussed, and argued...many times over. It mainly deals with the WoD's and it's affect on black communities.

no
the "crack" sentencing is part of the WOD, which the majority of this board despises.
its also an example of emotional-reactionary thinking that my people despise

I do think it is silly to assume anyone is a victim for breaking a law. How hard is it not to do drugs? I think all drugs should be legalized, but I will never do them personally. I don't understand the lure.
