Do I really attempt to legitimize anything?

Yes. You are advising that these practices should be accepted, and therefore imply that they are acceptable and therefore in some way legitimate.

Are you American? Do you support the mass imprisonment of your (mainly black, male) poor? Do you support the death penalty? Are you anti "ObamaCare"? Do you suppory the casual ownership of guns? Is the death of children as a direct result of pointlessly having a gun in the house an "acceptable risk"? Different cultures have different values. You can dislike it and work to correct it but your attitude makes you look like a child.
