Oh, yes, I see they've referenced a study that admits the violence was greater for crack but not if you "controlled" out the relevant variables.

Stupid statisticians with their stupid "controls".

I'll take this opportunity to point out that, right or wrong (obviously: I think you're wrong), you've contradicted your comment rooting this subthread. You began by saying there was never strong feeling that black crack users should be imprisoned, and find yourself here arguing that imprisoned black crack users somehow deserved it.

I don't have access to the actual study, but the abstract very much reads like a study that came to the conclusion the authors wanted.

Eh... no, I never said that second part. You might want to read through the thread again.
