|quote=In his earlier years in Washington, Biden, like most Democrats of the time, was a “tough on crime” warrior. He wrote the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which created mandatory sentencing rules for drug crimes that led to the disproportionate incarceration of Black and Brown men. But Biden learned and grew, a characteristic of the man. In 2008, he backed elimination of a core component of the 1994 law, a racist sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. More to the point, he admitted he’d been wrong.
