You changed the topic of the post from the implied 'look at this rich white mofo wilding, if it was a poor minority he wouldda went to jail!'...which is basically an international norm as far as rich majority/vs poor minority is concerned into a discussion about America's insane incarceration rate as a whole.

Its like us debating gender selection in China and saying it doesnt exist because there are more girls born there than in the US because of the huge difference in population.

Or us debating rape on campus and you kool aid man coming through with the, "but its not high as male prison rape, whats the issue?", lol

(that said i did read an interesting article on how female prison woman on woman abuse can give the men a run)

You're become someone who I liked for their honest posts on drug abuse/sexuality/unconventional family structure into a goalpost poster; whenever someone brings up a specific issue you bring up a counterpoint on a side issue to try to discredit the main issue. IE, we all know that PC culture is nuts but its just not even close to what's happening on the ultra-right/alt-right/conservative side.

Like a Denny post is us debating Steve King saying some racist shit as usual:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/13/politics/steve-king-babies-tweet-cnntv/index.html

and saying that since these dyke march assholes went overboard with anti-semetic slur they are as bad:

http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/240785/chicago-dyke-march-drops-pretense-deploys-anti-semitic-term-popularized-by-neo-nazis

Now you wont say it outright, but you will just dump that post there in the middle of a race discussion and hinting "Look, everyone on both sides are bad!" ignoring the fact Mr. King can enact laws, has sway with the local police dept, and since he was a popularly elected official has a problematic constituency base. etc.
