American History X?

Question

How does the movie American History X reflect the real-life situation in our society wiwth regards to Hate groups?

Who are the people most drawn to these groups? Why?

Answer 1

It reflects the fact that the "melting-pot" has melted and boiled over. What can you honestly expect in a nation like America that has as many different ethnicities as it does? And why is it always only the so-called "Nazi" groups that are highlighted in this country? There aren't "hate" groups of other ethnic backgrounds committing the most hateful acts imagineable here in America? Oh, that's right- the media. Damn I forgot. The truth is, the fate and destiny of any group, regardless of race, will always be determined by it's most inferior elements. It may seem unfair and unjust, but the collective eyes of society are always going to look on and judge unfavorably those who willfully violate the norms and then use their race as an excuse to escape the consequences of their actions. It doesn't matter if you are black, white, brown, yellow. or red- the rules apply to all. As for mr. Bacard's obviously racist attitude towards White America, you are exactly the reason these problems persist, and you would do us all a great service by going the hell back to whatever third world nation you came from. Also, what is "stomping on Conners payment" supposed to mean? Or do you mean "stomping on the corner pavement often"? When in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in America, learn the language.

Answer 2

you're kidding me perfect! The X in American historic past X isn't the Roman numeral for 10. this is basically an X. There at the instant are not different movies that flatter it or which you're able to be able to desire to observe. That being stated, confident it somewhat is a complicated action picture to observe. besides the undeniable fact that it somewhat is an significant action picture. And certainly one of Edward Norton's terrific performances. hi flow to guy: i don't propose to nit %., however the Roman numeral for 9 is IX not VIIII (in fact it potential 10-a million).

Answer 3

Bc, the neo nazis like to stomp their feet on the Conner of the payment often.


RACISM is a major aspect of European terrorism and colonialism. It manifests itself in exploitive-oppressive acts (by the colonizers who see themselves as the superior "white" race and all other races as "non-white" inferiors, subhumans). Europeans have historically looked upon "non-whites" as less human, and of course that makes "them" not worthy of having rights to their lives, their wealth, or their own land or nation. Racism is the oppression of one race by another. Racist Europeans have massively scattered themselves across the globe as parasites and cancers on the rest of humanity. Parasites in that they suck off the wealth of other nations and in order to enrich and to gorge themselves, leaving an emaciated people and a devestated nation when they have sucked all of the fat of the land. They are a cancer in that they have taken whole races and nations into extinction with their use of biological warfare. No other racism in the history of humanity has killed as much of humanity, enslaved so many, robbed so many, while expressing no real apology or restitution for its crimes.

Answer 4

The film tells the story of Derek Vinyard, taking place in the late 1980s and early 1990s. An extremely bright and charismatic student, Derek is drawn into the neo-Nazi underground after his father, a firefighter, is shot and killed by a black drug dealer while trying to put out a fire in a crack house. Eventually Derek becomes second in command of the Venice Beach neo-Nazi gang, The Disciples of Christ, which entices young whites to join by promising protection from predominantly minority gangs who are essentially in control of the area. He and Cameron Alexander, the leader of D.O.C., eventually regain control of the boardwalk, basketball court and beach area, and maintain a large presence at the high school. Alexander uses Derek to recruit other members who the film claims have become frustrated at being attacked by other gangs of different ethnicities.

One evening, three black men park in front of his house and break into his car. His younger brother, Danny, hears the glass smash and notifies Derek, telling him that "a black guy" was breaking into his truck. Derek becomes infuriated and seizes a pistol from a nightstand drawer and puts on a pair of steel toed combat boots. Sneaking downstairs and opening the front door, he proceeds to shoot the man standing guard with a gun at his door, killing him. He then shoots the carjacker twice in the stomach, severely wounding him. The getaway driver begins speeding away. Derek empties his magazine at the back of the car. Realizing that no more rounds are left, Derek turns on the wounded thief, and forces him to bite the curb and stomps on the back of his head (known as a curbstomp), killing him. Danny watches in horror and witnesses his brother's arrest.

Derek is sentenced to three years in prison, charged with voluntary manslaughter. In prison, he decides to join the Aryan Brotherhood for protection. His strong belief system soon alienates some of the others; leading to his rape and beating by his own group.

Derek makes the acquaintance of a black inmate named Lamont (Torry), with whom he works in the prison laundry room. After the rape, he sees that Lamont is his only friend and abandons the gang. Just before Derek is released on parole, he realizes that only through Lamont's intervention did the black prison gangs leave him alone.

Derek returns home only to find that his little brother Danny had followed in his neo-Nazi footsteps. He tries to lead Danny from this path. Danny eventually but reluctantly converts from his old ways after Derek tells him of his prison stint. The next morning, Danny walks into his high school bathroom, and is shot point-blank in the chest. The gunman, a black youth, was previously involved in an altercation with Danny.

Answer 5

people are attracted to these groups b/c they feel a sense of camaraderie. They feel accepted and they feel like they are superior.

It's unfortunate, but they are uneducated.
