with all the current fervor over reverend wright, obama’s minister, and the resulting “discussions” on racism… they brought the movie american history X to mind. coincidentally it came on tv just a few days ago, as well. listening to ed norton’s speech at the dinner table is so reminiscent of crap being spewed by those who dislike obama and wright, by extension, that i have to wonder if they didn’t have this speech memorized.
how sad that we’ve really not come further than this.

Racism is just so damn scary. And when it is articulated in the way it was in that scene from the film, it’s easy to understand why it spreads.
