The majority of blacks favor laws on crack cocaine that clearly have, and are clearly intended to have, disparate impact, and native Americans support laws on alcohol that are barely wearing a fig leaf to disguise their racial character.
Do you have anything to back up either of those statements?
The laws on crack cocaine were a reluctant response to black demand. Politicians would have preferred to avoid the embarrassment. The laws on alcohol for Indian communities were similarly a response to native American demand. Again, all the white folks would have preferred to be politically correct and pretend that there was no specifically Indian alcohol problem. These laws are a huge embarrassment, a reluctant accommodation to forceful community demand.
