Crack was for black people, cocaine was for rich people. That’s why 5g of crack got you the same sentence as 500g of cocaine

No, cocaine was for black people in the 50s and 60s. Crack wasn't a thing yet. Crack was another way they came up with to put black people in prison, but that was in the 80s.
