While Congress did reduce the crack-versus-powder disparity last year, it did not eliminate it. Now, rather than being sentenced to 100 times more time in prison for crack by weight, crack offenders get “only” 20 times more. As The Atlantic editor Ta-Nehisi Coates memorably put it, that’s only “1/5 as racist as it used to be.”
