pretty sure the ‘white liberal’ will just more aggressively apply the draconian sentences of the biden “black superpredators” crime bill.
Fortunately the First Step Act passed by President Trump counters some of the damage caused by biden’s crime bill (he authored it, just ask him it was a high point of pride for him).
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/24/fact-check-hillary-clinton-called-some-criminals-super-predators/6021383002/Biden did not refer to members of the Black community as "super predators" during or after the passage of the 1994 crime bill. First lady Hillary Clinton associated the phrase with the bill, two years after it was signed, but Black people were not directly referenced.

The Republicans that voted against it did so because it had gun bans, they thought it was a waste of money, or just partisanship.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Step_ActNotable conservative lawmakers who opposed the bill included Senators Tom Cotton [R-AR], John Kennedy [R-LA], Ben Sasse [R-NE] and Lisa Murkowski [R-AK]. Twelve Republican senators in total voted against the First Step Act. Though Senator Ted Cruz [R-TX] was originally opposed to the legislation, he ultimately backed the bill after an amendment he drafted to expand the crime exclusion list was adopted.
No Democratic congressional members voted against the First Step Act.[37][39] However, some liberal commentators such as Roy L. Austin Jr., who worked on criminal justice in the Obama administration, criticized the act for not delivering more relief to more prisoners.
