To mark the 20th anniversary of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, the ACLU today issued the report, “Cracks in the System: Twenty Years of the Unjust Federal Crack Cocaine Law.” The report details discriminatory effects of the drug law that devastated African American and low-income communitieshttp://www.nooked.com/news/itemtrack...0e9a27c4d745da

I symphize with the african-american communities being screwed over; but, come on I have to agree with 1tokeoverthelimit, it is silly to assume all of the bad things done by the federal government is directed to just the "black" communities.

Come on its not like their isn't horrible things being done to the blue-colar "white" community by the federal government also.

I playing on the racial sterotypes is just an easier way of pointing out a problem with the system..

As a further digression, when the media protrays that only a minority deals with particular issues, we continue to divide and weaken the overall community as a whole. Its just a more subtle way of playing the racist card and dividing us into little sub-sets to fight with one another when we should all be working together and realizing that race has nothing to do with it. (I blame Galton for this whole mess).
