But forget about that....let's handpick a click-baiting article about ONE incident that adheres to our agenda.

Fact: Black people (women too) are disporpotionately targeted and criminalized by the drug war. But let's not act like white people aren't victimized too. And I don't need to find a one-off scenario of a white women who received a 20 year mandatory sentence because her boyfriend was a drug dealer to prove it.

Factually speaking...there are more than twice the amount of white women in jail for drug offences than black women.

Edit:

Actually, the racial demographics of women in prison for drug offences isn't that far off from representing population demographics as they are. Blacks are overrepresented by about 10%. Whites are underrepresented by about 10%. And other demographics are pretty much dead-on in terms of representation. That is a far different story from males where black and latinos are extremely over-represented.
