After watching the file, American History X I started to think about what the world has come too, we think we have changed but in reality we still haven’t. It’s weird to think that were still fighting about our skin color, this issue has been around for a long time now. This movie is about race hate and the will for one man to change all that.
When we hear about killing, robbing, and abuse we usually hear it from the victims view. But in this movie we also hear and see the point from the other side, the “bad guys”. Their family history and what happened when they were younger made them insecure of themselves and cause them to do awful things to not only themselves but other people.

He is changed from his neo-Nazi class into a more tolerant person by what he sees after going through the jail system. His hate towards black is what got him killed at the end. While he was in jail he got the opportunity to communicate with members of other races like the black race. They usually never help a situation out but rather make it worse. At the end of the movie we see Daniel Vineyard killed by the black kid who got disrespected by Daniel. think these kids really hate the Hispanics, Asian and Negroes; they just take out their problem on them. Sometimes being tolerant is hard to do because you might have a lot of hurt and pain in your life. In the movie Derek Vineyard finally sees all this and he sees how stupid and foolish it is. I also believe that an entire race should be responsible for the acts of an individual. Stereotypes are commonplace in every society. We also have to see that stereotypes are a bad thing and that we should not use them. We as a society have to learn to see everyone equally to our own race. I guess what I am trying to say is that one who hates is also hated.
