Worth the watch, but not perfect.

I'm probably too emotionally charged to be writing this but that might just be why I need to do it, so here we go...
The movie started strong. It introduced the characters and the environment in a not-so-linear-timeline which is a plus because it kept me wondering not only what's going to happen but also what had happened while still keeping me engaged in what is happening. Hard to pull off this kind of method of storytelling, but he (the screenwriter, i guess) nailed it. At least to a certain point towards the end of the movie where everything started to crumble. That "certain point" was right after the father scene. That moment was the climax and the pinnacle of this film. It made the "not-so-linear-timeline storytelling method" all the more perfect for the movie and contributed to very writing of this scene. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about how EVERYTHING began to fall apart afterwards... HOW? Ok, let's take a look:
1] The main character had a belief, that belief had roots buried in his soul, a belief he lived by through YEARS of his life. You'd think that would mean something, right? "Oh, my fellow white men rapped me and beat me, maybe they're not so good after all. And oh, i befriended this Black guy, maybe they're not so bad". I don't think that's how it works in real life. But then again you need to recognize the problem to fix it. Was he a racist? A nazi? A white-supremacist? All of the above? Doesn't matter, it should've took something more deep and meaningful to get rid of any of those, let alone all.
2] Why? What purpose did the murder of the brother serve?
...
If the last quarter or so of the movie was better-written, and this story had a better closing, it could've made for a true masterpiece.
