Answer by CJ
crack tends to be a stiffer punishment. some say its to target the black community. i say if they don’t like it they should stop smoking crack.

1969 – MLK fought for equality in the work force and the general community

2009 – civil rights activists fight for more lenient crack punishments to achieve equality.
