From gang enhancements, to just recently overturn federal crack lynching laws, the United States of America has not yet fully lifted itself from a punitive system designed from motivations of white racial supremacy.   It is why still today that white criminal-like activities and drunk driving are legally judged with different standards as to what is a serious crime, and or potentially detrimental to society. If the average white person is likely to do it, it is often not a crime.

Our policing agencies are not there to protect the citizens, they are there to protect an order, a system.

In America's past, Minority crimes have been focused on and demonized.  The less likely the average white person is likely to commit it, the "worse "the crime is often perceived to be. Gang, gun, crack, prison prior enhancements, in terms of deadly potential there is not much difference than those crimes and drunk driving.

such disparaging sentences are often a political decision, and not an honest one.

 A mandatory minimum sentence for,  crack cocaine is not something that is done to protect the society. It does not pass the smell test. Putting an enhancement on crack is like putting a large vehicle or truck enhancement on a DUI.  Except for the fact that a larger vehicle is indeed much more likely to harm innocent bystanders than a modified form of cocaine compared with another form.

 It is the same when dealing with mandatory minimum sentences regarding the showing of a gun during the commission of a felony.

 Though not as fast as bullets, a few extra thousand pounds a vehicle can equate to an increase of inertial energy greater than that of even 100 flying bullets. And if guns are such a concern for the American public, why are bulletproof vests illegal in California? Why aren't seatbelts illegal? Can't they promote speeding? Do they not increase the feeling of safety for the speeder?

It is also the same when dealing with mandatory minimum gang enhancements.  Gangs, now labeled Street terrorists.


Historically, minorities living in ghettos lived in a virtual police state.  Their parents would be sent to jail, they would then be taken care of by their friends. Gangs began. An American ghetto historically was basically run by a foreign occupation force… I.e., White cops. Minorities in these communities often suffered countless injustices day after day under a system designed to keep every Avenue they might likely use in hopes of receiving protection or enacting retribution punishable by a virtual, or a real, death sentence.

 The American public has been groomed to deeply fear things like games and terrorists. The American public has willfully given up many rights due to this fear.

Through our disunity they rule us, and I believe one day we will extremely regret how  Easily we had let them influence and indeed control us with emotions. By doing this, we have allowed them to take many of our rights away. We have also had avenues of recourse taken away if our rights are violated. This all took place in the name of our own protection and the ability to punish and control the various groups we had been taught to feel we needed that protection from.
