Much Love and respect to all of our sisters and brothers of all creeds, walks of life on our Great Mother. There are no 'winners' in a divided world. The internal divisions of humanity unnoticed, unawares plays mischief on a toxic blind 'truth'. Racism or any 'ism' is moral schizophroenia running rampant. The USSA came to power in Violence. En-Slavery begun in Africa. Overthrow of the Red World and its forced collapse. Chaos and division is the beginning its opposite will be your freedom. Rise.
The Supreme Court shot down the Rockefeller law which created these disparities - but now the people who are still in prison have to be given the chance to have their sentence reduced - that is the problem - lawyers are not lining up to help low-income prisoners who have been over-sentenced thanks to racism among the powers that be. They should force all District Courts to review these cases, but they have not done it yet.
It's incredible how no one in Washington seems to care about this incredible difference. It's a clear example of how racism persists in our society, despite attempts by many conservative to treat it as a non-issue.
You seemed to miss that many people in the video were elected officials in Washington, including some with an "R" by their name, indicating Republication, and more likely to be conservative. If you look, I think you'll also find there's plenty of room for those not in Washington to make a difference, such as the ACLU and its supporters, who produced this video.
