"Who do you think the government is trying to protect with black people in jail? "

With the war on drugs I don't think *the government* is trying to protect anyone. I think law enforcement and the for profit prison system are very interested in keeping the numbers up because of the huge profits involved- and what we are subsidizing we are getting more of. That's what the profit motive is all about, right?
