Trey’s Table Episode 300 The Color of Law
from Trey's Table · host Trey Smith
🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! � EP. 300: The Racist Double Standard in Cocaine Sentencing For decades, the U.S. criminal justice system has treated crack and powder cocaine offenses wildly differently—despite being the same drug. The result? Mass incarceration of Black and Brown communities, fueled by racist policies like the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which created a 100:1 sentencing disparity. In Episode 300 of Trey’s Table, we break down: ✔️ The racist origins of the crack vs. powder sentencing gap ✔️ How these laws devastated generations of Black families ✔️ Why "reforms" like the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act didn’t go far enough ✔️ The fight to end this injustice for good This isn’t just history—it’s about who still gets targeted by the system today. 🎧 Tap the link in bio to listen NOW!
