Amount of drugs sold was incorrect

You have to read this article. Not only is it amazing that this guy actually wrote in to correct the “amount of drugs” he was convicted of selling, but also his views about racism.
So… read away!

This used to be a link, but one would have to pay to read the article (because it’s now archived) so I am including the full text here:

Amount of drugs sold was incorrect

Editor:

There was an article on me in your paper recently. There is a correction to be made. You said in your paper that Marvin Meniar and I were selling 20 grams of cocaine per month. The exact weight was 20 kilograms per month. No one gets 20 years for selling 20 grams per month. Please. Make the correction. If you’re so into putting these petty things in your newspaper, at least do a good job at it.

One more thing, you should write an article about is how people in West Virginia get away with murder and rape, especially if they’re white. But you catch a Hispanic or black for selling drugs, and we get more time than a murderer and rapist.

I’m from New York City and this definitely doesn’t happen in my city. There is no violence in the sale of narcotics. There is malicious violence in committing rape and murder.
