While this does make an interesting point in that African-Americans would have been much better off if the US colonies had remained British and abolished slavery when the rest of the British empire did (about 80 years prior to the US Civil War). I can see how that relates to incarceration and such but (without having taken the time to study it in detail) I think this guy is really stretching that idea overly far when it gets into other areas such as happiness and current economic conditions.
