CRACK VS. POWDER COCAINE.  In 2010, the President signed the Fair Sentencing Act, which narrowed the huge disparity between sentences for possession of crack cocaine vs. powder cocaine.  Under the old law, possession of five grams of crack resulted in the same mandatory five-year sentence as five hundred grams of powder cocaine.  Obama reduced the 100 to 1 ratio to 18 to 1.  Crack users are disproportionately African-American, and the war on drugs has been a war on the poor and people of color, destroying black families and communities.  As a result of America’s drug laws, the U.S. has the world’s largest prison population, and a majority of prisoners are blacks and Latinos.
