[quote=Anonymous]CRT is a theory that everything is based on race.  And I do mean everything.  Everything can be explained by race.  PP above used crack cocaine sentences vs. powder cocaine.  Crack has a a much higher sentence.  If you look at it under CRT it is because crack was largely at the time a black drug and powder was a white drug.  So race is responsible for the sentence.  But there is another way to look at this.  The sentence structure was higher because at the time there was a crack epidemic that was increasing crime level.  Not the same with powder.  IMO race had zero to do with the sentence disparity.  Now after the sentences started, it became clear that heavy sentences were falling on Blacks and that the stiffer sentences were not helping.  IMO we took too long to fix that and race had something to do with that as there was no one with power speaking up for this group of Black violators.  So race is connected to this story but not really at the start.  But if you subscribe to CRT, you do not get into the messy facts; you believe that all decisions taken by any institution are based on race and quite possibly racist.[/quote]
