yes
Before asking the question "why can't government fix this," we should first be asking ourselves why we think government can fix anything.

It was common knowledge for 500+ days that the FBI knew exactly where the documents were. The FBI even told Trump how to secure them.
This is just a typical election cycle stunt.

This page describes how the recent spending bills will allocate funds based on census data of self-reported race.
Anyone with a brain will report as black if they want to see any of that money.

Potency was the point/issue I was addressing with this example. Potency.
The law wasn't drafted on the basis of "potency" but on junk science linking crack cocaine to violent crime. It would be just as ridiculous to incarcerate two people with the same BAC at different incarceration levels based on what they drank.

Just like hard liquor is more dangerous than beer.
That's not what you proposed though. Hard liquor doesn't make a person more violent than beer.

Even among White Americans, drug addiction is a regional cultural issue, regardless of the level of poverty. Some parts of the country have substantially high rates of meth addiction (midwest), others have high rates of prescription opioids (coastal states), and fentanyl use is clustered as well.
Reducing abuse and addictions of specific drugs like crack cocaine to skin color isn't backed by any serious science. All of those drugs have a heavy regional cultural influence.

Crack is an impure form of cocaine that is made into a crystal and is often smoked or cooked down and injected. Crack cocaine is no more dangerous than powdered cocaine; it just presents different dangers because it is smoked or injected. Smoking or injecting cocaine produces a very quick and more intense high because it is quickly absorbed into the blood.
In the mid-1980s, there was an incorrect belief that crack was more dangerous and caused more violent behavior. Studies later found that the difference was more likely due to demographics and co-occurring disorders rather than crack itself.

@IwantRooseveltagain
it’s the financial status of the people using the drug.
Categorically false. Poor Black immigrants show less crack cocaine usage than poor white Americans. It's not an issue of poverty. It's an issue of culture.

"Crack cocaine is more psychologically addicting than powder cocaine and is thus more likely to result in chronic and heavy use. In addition, the drug is more commonly associated with systemic violence than its counterpart."That is why those who get busted for crack get harsher sentences, which has nothing to do with being black or white. It's the end result of the use and addiction - the violence - that gets users busted, black or white.
That was the justification for the law in the 80's, but it has been thoroughly debunked with what we know today.

It's actually amazing that The Democrats can't put an idiot in jail after 6 years. Guess the Democrats are exponentially less smart than Trump at the game.

Lol, how many years of "the walls closing in?" I thought it was just 6 years of that BS, not 40 years of it.
Pretty sure even an idiot like Hunter Biden can blow through 400 million dollars worth of cocaine as long as the proper people are bribed.

You would also be rich if you inherited 400 million before your 40th birthday.

Many hardcore Trump haters on the left openly admit the optics on the FBI raid almost guarantees a Trump re-election. Independent voters simply do not embrace government abuse of the FBI like the left does.
This is the only card the left can play though since the administration knows by now that they won't be able to fix the economy by November, and Jan 6 hearings were a monumental flop failing to move the needle at all among independent voters.
It was a risky gamble and they lost. Polls are coming out daily with the needle going the opposite direction the left intended among independents.

Cocaine in Minnesota generally netted a mandatory 4 years prison minimum if black, and mere probation if white.
What's hilarious is that some dumbfuck liberal academic socioscientist in the 80's made a false correlation wrongly postulating crack cocaine being more deadly than powdered cocaine simply by looking at violent behaviors associated with the use instead of relating the violence to systemic cultural problems exactly like the ones Dr. Thomas Sowell definitively identified as Black Redneck culture. It's a nice 3 hour audiobook if you have time.
That's why the law was written differently, and it had nothing to do with skin color. Just another monumental fuckup by a misguided and misinformed liberal with government power. It's the exact kind of fuckup Sen. Moynihan(D) tried to warn us all about in the 70's.
Statistical evidence shows impoverished Black immigrants with next to no usage of crack cocaine, so it's clearly not a racial correlation and clearly a cultural problem.

How do they enforce that law, DNA testing?
A calibrated spectrometer? Kind of like a breathalyzer but for skin?
Pretty sure all I have to do is send an email to Kim Foxx saying I am black and I should get out of jail free. No testing necessary.

@TWS1405
Yes, it should be a federal crime and the first person to get arrested would be this fraud and grifter: Jeffrey "Shaun" King.
How exactly would you enforce this? Would you need a court ordered DNA test?

As a white person, many crimes I may commit will net much lower prison sentences than if I were black.
The reverse is true with a Soros DA.
Believe it when I say if Kim Foxx were to prosecute me for a murder, the 1st thing I would tell her is that I am Black.

If you check a box on an official government form saying you are African American, thinking since we all came from Africa at some point, then it applies, and you do so knowing full well that you will receive race based benefits, should you go to jail if others classify you as white?
How would such a law be worded and enforced?

In fact, many lighter shade skinned people today in America identify as colored just for the de-facto color privilege....especially regarding government benefits.

There is also another theory that the Democrats did the raid knowing it would help Trump get elected so that they didn't have to lose to DeSantis.
The evidence for that is the DNC funding pro-Trump candidates with Democrat donor money.
There is evidence for Trump planting an informant due to the fact that he had a full production political ad ready to roll in response immediately, so it clearly was not a surprise raid.
Do you think either of these or possibly both are true?

Come to think of it...it really does seem like Trump rigged a reverse Jan 6 on the FBI by instigating a horrendous act for the sake of optics. Trump's informant waved in those FBI better than Ray Epps ever did.

an informant told the government that Trump had classified material in his possession.
There are some on the left that think Trump planted an informant because of how fast he was to respond to the raid, as if he knew it was coming, he even had a political ad ready after the raid.
Trump gets another few years of free media.
