Pondering questions of legality, illegality, the ''justice system'', and US crime statistics after reading "The New Jim Crow":
http://newjimcrow.com/
Smart criminals don't get caught. People talk alot about legailizing drugs, controlling guns, etc.
But isnt all that meaningless if you are smart about your drug use and gun ownership?
And along those lines, if you are arrested for drug or gun related activity, doesnt that mean you were stupid and thus got caught? Being discreet: If I want cocaine, I go get the cocaine, from a friend and NOT some random who may or may not be an undercover. Then i go somewhere private and snort it. So how are the prisons full of drug offenders? Is it perhaps that they just arent smart enough to buy and consume their drugs with a little common sense? Are the prisons full of imbeciles? And is the modern criminal justice system, like Michelle Alexander implies without realizing, a sort of Social Darwinism?
I argue constantly with conservatives who believe in the 2nd amendment. First off the govt will do what it wants to you. There is no real protection, constitutional or otherwise. People get arrested with unlicensed saturday nite specials every minute of every day. But for me, no cop has ever seen my collection and they dont know i have it because i buy from private sellers....
How difficult is it really, to carry your drugs and weapons somewhere not liable to search by the pigz?!!
Conclusion: The prisons are full of people too stupid to not get caught. And perhaps if theyre that stupid they belong there.

99.99999% of recidivists are illiterate. 99% have no high school diploma. Now is that a cause of criminality or a result? Why is there a generational, ignorant, criminal underclass? These are questions Alexander and belle hooks cant answer.
