First in a fabulous series.
I liked the question about "what is it you want from white people?"
When one of these police shooting videos pop up we always hear "We want justice!" but there is rarely any statement about what "justice" would consist of. Does the "social justice" crowd want cops incarcerated based on nothing more than a video of part of the engagement? Would they accept incarceration of a non-LE individual based on only that evidence?
You notice that she had no answer. She doesn't know what she wants. She has no clue whatsoever.
They want a double standard. They want blacks not held accountable for their actions and not being treated like criminals when they are. The whole thing is really ludicrous.
I don't know that they want a double standard. My guess is that they are simply acting emotionally rather than rationally and really don't know what they want.
No, they do want a double standard. If you've ever talked to any of these people, the first thing they'll say is that blacks cannot be held to the same standards as whites, that blacks deserve to be treated differently, because racism, blah blah blah. It all comes down to "you owe us", often followed with reparations nonsense, etc.
It really is ridiculous.

What I tend to hear is that blacks deserve special consideration because of "systemic racism"
Do you?
Do I what? Do I hear people saying that blacks deserve special consideration because of "systemic racism"? Yes. After all, that's what the whole BLM movement is all about.
Is it? Or is that just your interpretation of the goal?
Because to me, it sounds like what they want is equal treatment, rather than "special" treatment.
If blacks want equal treatment by LE, they should stop resisting arrest, confronting LEOs and comply with legal and legitimate LEO's orders.
If they don't want to be treated as criminals, they should stop behaving as criminals do.

...race doesn't explain the whole picture...
If race explains any of the picture then it has to be acted upon, you can't just hand wave it away because it doesn't explain everything.
So, if as you say, mandatory sentences were notably increased for 'crack', why would that be?
