Finally, Justice for Those Convicted of Dealing

Crack Cocaine Will Equal Sentences for Powder

The racist way in which our federal legal system has implemented a partial response in the phony “War on Drugs” has been finally corrected by the United States Supreme Court.

For far too long, the ignorant and greedy black street corner drug dealers, who have been too stupid to come in out of the rain, have been victims of federal prosecutors building silly resumes as they advance in their legal careers by locking up these petty hoodlums and throwing away the key.

The same federal system that can’t secure our nation’s borders against drug cartels and illegal immigrants managed to find a way to incarcerate these black street dealers for lengthy sentences while the white drug dealers served minor amounts of time. 

A case in point is the Leonardtown seafood market owner, Mike Simmons, who was selling powder cocaine by the kilo. This drug dealer got what?  About 18 months in prison.  The fact that he was dealing drugs with his girlfriend, who flipped him in order to get out of a DWI arrest, showed that both were culpable, but neither really paid a heavy price while they were making big bucks off of drugs.   Compare that drug dealing to the prison sentence given Knoxie Carson, a big black drug dealer, big in size and not so big in quantity of drugs, and ask where is Knoxie today.  Why he is still in prison of course.

The new Sheriff has gotten off to a good start at snaring white drug dealers.   More needs to be done. 

Too often some of our white businessmen have financed the drug dealing of both races and never touched the drugs and the cops involved in tracking narcotics trafficking have been too damn dumb to follow the money. 

Prosecutors have been worried about making the easy cases and since so much of the legal establishment have been recreational drug users, the winking, blinking and nodding on this issue over the past 25 years has been criminal, in that the complicity between the stupid government running the “War on Drugs”, the silly criminal justice system, which makes the system work only for those who actually work in the system and many defense lawyers who never really represent their clients but simply unload riches from them in return for plea bargaining; all makes for a sad, sad tale of how this nation is going down the toilet.

What we have needed from the Supreme Court was what they delivered this past week.  Equal Justice Under the Law, just as is inscribed overtop of their front door.  God Bless and keep the Supreme Court for they have finally made the law relevant for the black population of this country. 

Blacks, as a group, have been misled for a long time, after never actually getting the 40 acres and a mule.  The pomposity of the Republican Party in their baloney of No Child Left Behind and the skullduggery of the Democratic Party in becoming the new slavemasters by pandering, bribing and tricking blacks in return for their votes belies the truth: that in America, people of all creeds, colors, races and ethnicity can lift themselves up by their own bootstraps as this is truly the land of milk, honey and opportunity. 

In spite of all the shenanigans of schemers and dilettantes, getting an education is as close as the free neighborhood library, if one wants it.

One of America’s premier writers used the public library in Prince Frederick as his principal place of research for a startling successful series of best selling books. 

That local fellow, Tom Clancy, went from being an insurance agent with a Walter Mitty bent to the top of his talented field. 

For blacks, opportunity is what they want to make of it. There is a chain of franchise fast food joints in Southern Maryland and they are all owned by a black entrepreneur.  This success didn’t fall out of the sky. Hard work went into building it.  The explosion of successful Mexican restaurants in the area, all owned by Mexicans, has come about by ethnic networking, family commitment and hard work.  

Those who sit around and expect the government to give you a living are going to be disappointed.  Those who deal drugs should sit in prison.  But the huge disparity in sentencing for crack and powder was ridiculous and all those in the justice system knew it. 

Prison has been a handy place to warehouse all of these black males who won’t study and won’t work.
