That sounds nice, but in practice, white collar crime, often committed by white people, has much lower incarceration rates than simple drug crimes. Even in Seattle, where its now legal to posses pot but not legal to smoke it publicly (yet this is routinely ignored), we found that black people were being incarcerated at a much higher rate than white people for public smoking of pot. An investigation found that there was one freaking cop who went around arresting tons of black people for this 'crime'.
This is the world we live in.
