I feel like the charges are important to note, especially given that the prosecutor wanted 25 years for this offence and that black Americans are handed very harsh sentences compared to white offenders.

It really does seem like black Americans and rappers are treated with a different set of standards and government data back me up on that.

Black offenders also generally received longer average sentences for firearms offenses carrying a mandatory minimum penalty than any other racial group. In fiscal year 2016, Black offenders convicted under section 924© received an average sentence of 165 months, compared to 140 months for White offenders and 130 months for Hispanic offenders. Only Other Race offenders received longer average sentences (170 months), but they accounted for only 2.2 percent of section 924© offenders.
