Having what you've written, you know a lot more about both cocaine and crack than I do, but, if I'm understanding you correctly, I think I disagree.

Oh I agree with you 100% on that. That's what I was saying. I just think that location isn't the only reason why sentences are much harsher for crack than cocaine.

Just because it looks like the sentencing targets black people doesn't mean it does. I get pretty badly sunburned because I'm pale. Is the sun racist?

It's possible that racism is a factor, but crack is more addictive than cocaine, therefore, if you want to deter it, you need harsher sentences. Also, the laws were passed during an epidemic of crime caused by crack dealing - you want to deter crime regardless of skin color.
