Thirteen years ago, I was in a black uniform with a nine-millimeter attached to my side and a pump shot gun in my hands, carrying Riot gear.
I was assigned to take a Special Operation Response Team down to the Federal Correctional Institution in Marianna , Florida to defuse a Riot already in progress! Can you guess the cause of this Riot?
U.S. Congress refused to change the Mandatory Minimum Drug Laws to make it fair to and for all races of people. We know where the majority of crack is—it is in the Black and Minority neighborhoods: whereas, the majority of Powder Cocaine is in the White, non-minority neighborhoods.
Did you know that if you are convicted for possession with the intent to distribute five grams of crack cocaine with a street value of $500, you will be sentenced to five years in federal prison? Did you know that if you are convicted for the intent to distribute 500 grams of powder cocaine with a street value of $50,000, you will receive the same five-year sentence in federal prison?
Since Congress enacted it's mandatory sentencing for crack dealers in
1986, virtually all white offenders are prosecuted in mostly state court where there is no mandatory sentencing and offenders are granted parole. Whereas, blacks are sentenced in federal court, where they have mandatory sentencing and no parole.
