Question by Michelle M: Do you think drug dealing laws are unfair to blacks? Obama does.?
The Obama administration is asking Congress to close the big gap in prison sentences for dealing crack versus powdered cocaine, a law that critics say is unfair to blacks.

Such sentencing reform efforts tend to focus on lowering the mandatory minimum sentences for crack cocaine possession, but in prepared testimony to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer did not spell out exactly how the administration hopes to make the law more fair.

“The administration believes Congress’ goal should be to completely eliminate the disparity in prison sentences between crack cocaine and powdered cocaine,” Breuer said in written testimony to be delivered Wednesday.

i think he should close the gap the reason we cant go down to the store now and buy some cold meds is because of drug dealers if they happen to be black so be it, but i know of many white people that sell and do drugs as well…critics need to get over it, perhaps they want to keep us all down…and play affirmative action when it comes to drugs too
