"no sensible person regards as criminal"

If no sensible person regards them as criminal, they would not be crimes.

Your assertion is that the sentencing/laws are racist. I would assert that crime, itself, is racist. For whatever reason some minorities commit more crimes. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that they do it BECAUSE they are a minority. I am not saying black people are inherently more criminal because they are black, merely that based on demographics a black person is more likely to be a criminal. I do not know why that is (nor do you) and do not make any attempt at explaining it.

People do know. You just aren't looking to answer the question, for reasons only you know.
