I sure love a historical debunking, don’t you?

My new article on Return of Kings debunks the myth that harsher sentences on crack cocaine versus powder cocaine were devised purely by evil white police officers to oppress the poor benighted black man.

So, amusingly, organized blackness is in a bit of a huff about body cameras being put on police. If you’ll recall, only a year or two ago Black Lives Matter and other groups were demanding that all police officers wear body cameras as a proactive way to stop police brutality before it happens—the idea being that a cop would be less likely to brutalize a suspect if they knew they were eternally being watched by some benevolent third party.

Curiously, now all of a sudden Organized Blackness is against this. Why, you might ask? Because, apparently, the cams will “reinforce the police narrative” rather than the narrative that they want to push

In layman’s, body cams present an objective reality that may or may not debunk the next “hands up don’t shoot” narrative. If this sudden about face surprises you…it really shouldn’t. This is hardly the first time that Black America has collectively demanded some sort of law enforcement sea change, only to renege a few years later, shortly after they realize that this demand is biting them in the ass.

Yes, children, it’s time once again to debunk another modern day mythology. This time, it’s a myth about race, rather than gender. And it’s undoubtedly another one you’ve heard before.

The myth I’m referring to is the idea of disparate impact in 80s anti-drug enforcement: Let’s talk about crack.

As SJWs are fond of whining, crack use is indeed punished harder than powder cocaine, and that does indeed disproportionately affect blacks more than it does whites. That much, I will admit, is not part of “the narrative”—it is indeed objectively true.
