For over 20 years, possession of crack has been punished at 100 times the rate of sentences for powder cocaine. In other words, getting caught with five grams of crack would be treated as legally equivalent to possessing 500 grams of powder cocaine. Although most crack users are white, over 80% of defendants busted for possession of crack are black. The law's racially disproportionate effect contributes to America imprisoning more people per capita than any other nation. Additionally, minorities compose 70% of this huge prison population. Therefore, making the U.S. an international embarrassment. It shouldn't matter if someone is selling crack, powder cocaine, marijuana, etc. They are still all illegal drugs and the defendants should be punished equally. So help end this racist crack-powder cocaine disparity.  http://criminaljustice.change.org/blog/view/crack-cocaine_disparity_now_15th_as_racist_as_before
