Reply to comment by apathetic_panda in Among black parents, paternal support and interparental relationship quality can play a protective role, promoting maternal mental health and wellbeing. by Respawan

When you say "mass incarceration", are they being incarcerated for shits and giggles, or because they've chosen to do something to cause them to be incarcerated?

Choices. Oh aren't you clever?

Okay, so they're not really being impeded by the state there, since the state is incarcerating them because they're committing crimes. It's the decision to commit the crime that impeded them.

Nice assumptions. Totally realistic basis. Got any to close this absolutist argument with?

Unless you're suggesting black people are being falsely imprisoned en masse, I think it's a justified assumption.
