Ava DuVernay's Doc "13th"-Emancipation Bent into Incarceration & Injustice

Ava DuVernay's disturbing documentary "13th" is meant to make us uncomfortable, as well we should be.  The "13th" Amendment; the emancipation decree is legal semantics for the transformation of slavery into Jim Crow laws into mass incarceration of black men.  Footage of lynchings, violence against peaceful civil rights protestors and black men being arrested & imprisoned are horrific.  However, as a society, we promulgate unfair & inhumane sentencing practices.  Senator Booker and legal activist Bryan Stevenson are eloquent yet alarming voices of reason explaining how systemic racism in our country has evolved from the plantation to incarceration. The Reagans', Clintons', Bushes' misguided war on drugs became legal loophole for locking up black men in alarming numbers & with egregious sentences.   In other words, "slavery" is not legal but the incentive and intention of imprisoning of a disproportionate population of black men has become big business with financial & racial driven motives.  Everyone must see this intelligent and piercing documentary.  Hopefully, its  intent will provoke a public's outcry for humane changes in our country's legal system.  The inhumanity of slavery has in theory been abolished.  In reality, we have become a heinous nation of mass incarceration.  DuVernay's documentary is required viewing, especially now that the KKK has endorsed a presidential candidate who doesn't disavow their support.  DuVernay is a powerful filmmaker who allows the interviewees their say.  DuVernay makes it apparent the troubling truths of the clandestine cover-up of today's Jim Crow rulings.
