The panelists were discussing new rules proposed by Attorney General Eric Holder that would allow more non-violent offenders convicted of drug laws -- which disproportionately sent black offenders to prison for long sentences -- eligible for presidential clemency. The panel suggested that the administration's acknowledgement of racial disparities proved the "race industry's" success in making the country look racist.
In 2010, Congress passed and President Obama signed into law the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 to reduce the federal mandatory minimum sentencing disparities between those convicted of powdered cocaine possession versus crack cocaine possession. As the Washington Post noted, prior to the law's passage, "those arrested for crack offenses -- mostly young, African American men--faced far harsher penalties than the white and Hispanic suspects most often caught with powder cocaine." In 2013, President Obamacommuted sentences for eight individuals who were convicted of non-violent crack cocaine offenses under the old sentencing guidelines.
the right wing has yet to acknowledge that just because they say their is no discrimination or racism does not make centuries of relevant proof go away they only reinforce the deceptive nature of their clan. the world chooses to believe their lying eyes and ears over right wing smoke and mirrors the smoke has long dissipated and the mirror cracked and now shows the many facets of their radical agendas, can't run away from the death and destruction in your wake the trail still leads to them.
