Racism Sucks!!

This movie is my favorite Racism based film.
This film clearly shows why racism can spread and why there will never be a cure for it.
Ed Norton is convincing as an ex-skin-head named Derek Vineyard who during his time in prison realizes that the racist propaganda he used to glorify is bullshit, because in prison there are no friends.
Well thats just the beginning of the movie, the rest of the movie is about his younger brother "Danny" played by Eddie Furlong being brain-washed and manipulated by the same propaganda and people that Derek used to follow.
This film is a must watch for everyone in this country. The message is an intense one.
The story is told through Danny via his History Essay Paper he has to turn in (hence the movie's title American History X).
I recommend it for everyone even real skin-heads the Nation of Islam and racists everywhere.
Racism is just plain dumb, but that is my opinion.
"American History X" why racism sucks.
