To maintain a prisoner class of society.
The BLM movement has a point and there is still systemic oppression toward blacks, especially in the criminal justice system. Also, America still has a tremendous class problem, black or not: https://www.amazon.com/Rich-Get-Richer-Poor-Prison/dp/0205137725
Also, race realists are an unfortunate thing, and they often promote the idea of an ethnostate America where all non-whites are forcibly removed.
It's important that people don't self-victimize, right, but saying that everything is hunky-dory okay is a huge leap of faith. The guy you're arguing with is arguing in bad faith, and I don't think I'd call you racist, but there's still problems out there for marginalized classes and blacks remain one.

Thank you for posting this. This is a great insight to the injustices that the incarcerated population and their families see every day. I have personally had to use the companies they mentioned in the video for commissary while I was incarcerated and the prices for everything are inflated. A good book on this if you want to read on more of this type of subject is The Rich Get Richer And The Poor Get Prison. I read it while I was locked up and it really opened my eyes. http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Richer-Poor-Prison-Edition/dp/0205137725
...Talking points? I'm a sociologist who works on economics, politics & crime and has worked in several police & prison orgs.
I'd be glad to cite every claim I made--though I can't imagine how explaining the is/ought distinction is a 'talking point.'
Crack is not more addictive than free based or injected cocaine, this is a physiological fact. It is only more addictive than snorted cocaine. And, it is not 18-100X more addictive than snorted cocaine, so that isn't even a justification.

Did you know 50% of marriages end in divorce... Oh wait!
Much like this bullshit statistics "grit" is bullshit. Grit is not a new idea nor is it profound. Let's not mention that her statement really downplays the impact of socio-economic status. Lastly we should remember that "The Rich Gets Richer and the Poor Gets Prison"
