What is this Death of a Nation movie and why is it so controversial, and why is it generating such a buzz online...but not really offline?

Maybe i didnt read it completely, but requiring identification as a US citizen when voting is in no way racist. Its not specifically for black voters. Just because Ramos thinks its geared towards minorities, doesnt mean thats how the law would be implemented. It makes total sense to have someone identify themselves as a citizen when voting. Its illegal to vote if youre a non-citizen. Just as its illegal to buy alcohol under age. Do you want people to stop getting ID'ed when buying booze? Or do you think the clerk only id's the black guys because hes a closet racist?

And sure the prison system is absolutely terrible. But i dont see how the 3 strike law is racist, it applies to everyone? Do you think it was made to keep African Americans in jail longer? Or maybe it was made to deter past criminals from re-offending. Dont see how criminalization of drugs is racist either, don't think cocaine and LSD should be legal, Marijuana sure. But that isnt specifically made for minorities. Applies to all citizens.

And what about stand your ground? Yes, a racist shit killed a black father. The murderer tried to justify Stand Your Ground, but couldn't. Now hes getting charged with manslaughter.
