“Take crack cocaine. Particularly in the early days of the policy, ninety percent of the people being arrested were black, even though they didn't use the drug at higher rates and even though their numbers in the general population are so low. How could that be? The thing is, you place all your resources in communities of color. And if you do that, you're going to arrest black people.” PeopleIfsUseBlackCommunityNumbersPolicyColorHigherDrugLowsPercentResourcesRatePopulationCracksBlack PeopleNinetyArrestedCocaine Author:Carl Hart
“If you look at the families who live below the poverty line, only 47% of them have internet access at home.
