Why is/are the law(s) on the books in the first place?
Systematic racism.
NO, they would have still been pulled away from their families if the two drugs had the same sentencing requirements... The bottom line of the problem is breaking the law, not the law in this instance...
In order to be systemic, the law would have to be something that they could not avoid because of their race... Are you saying that blacks cannot avoid breaking the law, so all laws are systemic racism?

No. But, a law that affects two races dealing with the same drug (coke vs crack) in such tremendously disproportionate ways should be a sign that something is rotten in Denmark.
Blacks use "drugs" at the same rate as whites but are incarcerated at a much higher rate.
