Many people around the world are being told that Trump is the racist and Biden is the good guy. Unknown to them, it was Biden who pushed some of the most racist pieces of legislation in the United States that sent thousands of black and brown people to prison for drug use or possession. Still, when his own son Hunter Biden became an addict, he defended him and even praised him.

It’s often called the law of karma. It’s like when the most anti-gay parent ends up having only gay children, or the most anti-immigrant person has to deal with the fact that their only daughter has fallen in love with an undocumented immigrant and is ready to leave the country to be with them in Guatemala or Sudan.

One of the legislations that Biden pushed fervently was in 1986, when crack cocaine was more prevalent in black communities, while powder cocaine was more common among White users.

As white and black people were using hard drugs, Biden and his colleagues decided in their wisdom to craft a bill that punished black and brown people a hundred times more severely. It was known as the 100:1 disparity and was widely criticized for being racially discriminatory and contributing to systemic racial inequities in the criminal justice system.

The 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine refers to a provision in the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which mandated significantly harsher penalties for offenses involving crack cocaine compared to those involving powder cocaine.

Specifically, the law required the same mandatory minimum prison sentence for possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine as it did for 500 grams of powder cocaine—a 100:1 ratio.

More than two decades later, in 2010, the Fair Sentencing Act reduced the disparity from 100:1 to 18:1, raising the amount of crack cocaine needed to trigger the mandatory minimum sentence to 28 grams. As you can see, even the reduced ratio still perpetuated unjust sentencing disparities.

In case you missed what I just said, here is a summary.

1. Mandatory Minimum Sentences: Crack Cocaine (used mainly by black people): Possession of 5 grams triggered a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in federal prison. Powder Cocaine (used mainly by white people): Possession of 500 grams triggered the same 5-year mandatory minimum sentence.

2. Impact on Sentencing: The disparity above led to much longer prison sentences for individuals convicted of offenses involving crack cocaine compared to those involving powder cocaine, despite the substances being pharmacologically similar.

3. Racial Disparities: Crack cocaine was more commonly used in urban, predominantly black communities, while powder cocaine was more prevalent among white and more affluent users. This resulted in disproportionately high incarceration rates for black individuals relative to white individuals for similar drug offenses.

Below is a recap of some of the most racist bills that Biden fervently pushed, including the 1994 Crime Bill that sent thousands of black and brown people to prison and ruined their lives forever for drug possession.

1. 1984 Comprehensive Crime Control Act:

This act increased federal penalties for many crimes, established new mandatory minimum sentences, and introduced new measures for asset forfeiture. Critics argue that these policies disproportionately impacted black and brown communities.

2. 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act:

This legislation introduced mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, including a controversial 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine, as explained above.

3. 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (Crime Bill):

The bill included provisions for “three strikes” mandatory life sentences, allocated funds for new prisons, and expanded the death penalty. It also included funding for community policing and the Violence Against Women Act. Critics argue that the bill contributed to mass incarceration, which disproportionately affected Black and Brown communities.

4. 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (Welfare Reform):

This act aimed to reduce welfare dependency through work requirements and time limits on benefits. Critics contend that it disproportionately affected low-income families, many of whom were black and brown, by reducing their access to social safety nets.
