Minimum sentencing laws on powder cocaine disproportionately affected <u>African Americans</u> because powder cocaine was mostly consumed by people of color.

<h3>What were the effects of minimum sentencing laws?</h3>

Minimum sentencing laws led to African Americans being thrown in prison quite often because they were typically the ones who consumed powder cocaine.

For this reason, people of color were very much affected by minimum sentencing laws which saw a large number of them end up in prison.
