Why do you guys bother arguing on YouTube?

You do realize the comment section is a cesspit of ignorance and trolling, right?

@drizztmay Where does she go off the deep end? She was making completely valid points throughout the entire video. Things like the "Southern Strategy", which is what she was referring to, were very real parts of our political process during the late 20th century. It's no conspiracy.

The STOOOOPIT! AIIIIEEEE!!! IT BURNS....

[MrSaxman23]

Wow, just wow *reading some of the most ingnorant statements.* How about everyone go read the book, check the accuracy of the facts/statistics, come back and articulate YOUR OWN INFORMED OPINION, rather than typing out of your ass...smh

@Shaymeonyoo Most prisoners are non violent offenders. The risons earn more money if they have more prisoners. So the prisoners will have mostly marijuana users and such. People that aren't really a threat to society. Next time do some research before you call someone a idiot. the real idiot maybe you because of your ignorance.

@imaginepeace63 too many crimes are committed by private people. stop stealing shit and selling drugs and you won't end up in a privately owned prison, idiot.

[Shaymeonyoo]

@Keithed200 this lady is uppity and assumes black people are arrested for crimes because they are black.

[imaginepeace63]

Too many priosons are private owned. Prisons do not belong in the private sector.

@ashken79 you've clearly missed the point. which is (sadly) understandable.

[ashken79]

Lets free all prisoners...Lets never punish anyone for commiting a crime.

@Keithed200 Perhaps they are more likely to be cooperating witnesses/informants hence convictions. They are concentrated in urban areas, majority of white offenders spread out btwn cities/suburban/rural. When fishing, go where the fish are. Lot of factors well beyond systemic racial bias. Maybe racial bias is there, but not nearly as prominent nor strongly correlated to the arrest/conviction rates, rather the author is merely manipulating data/ studies to support her own racially charged agenda?

[silvermediastudio]

@Keithed200 I not not disagree that more blacks are arrested for drug offenses. Why might this be? Perhaps they are not just consuming, but selling in larger quantities. Perhaps they are concurrently involved in other crimes (especially violent crimes and theft to fund their activity), which brings greater attention from law enforcement. Perhaps they are engaged in their activities more openly, with less regard for the law, and are therefore simply easier to catch and convict.
