American Brotherhood For The Blind

HA...All I read is hate, hate, and more hate when it comes to slavic fighters. Get over it guys, russians are tougher than any fighter from the "ghetto". Remember what Oleg Maskaev did to #2 ranked Hasim "straight from the ghetto" Rahman. LOL.....Boxing in america is only hype. The USA never had the best fighters, only the best promotion. We had the champions for over 50 years because we had the resources to "promote" fighters, not because we had the best fighters. The true baddasses are now taking over.

Ha. I am happy the russians have come and are beating the crap out of every boxing "gangsta". imagine a hw division with the likes of arrogant mayweathers. So glad the russians bring humility and respect to the sweet science.

here is a youtube hl vid of russian fighters, both boxing and mma.

No. They can't. And I agree with you...

« We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. »

In the opening scene, Danny Vinyard, a young white supremacist, sits in the principal's office. As we move into the office, we hear and see Danny's history teacher Murray explaining to the principal, Dr. Sweeney, that Danny wrote a book report on Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. As a result Sweeney informs Danny that he is now Danny's new history teacher. The class is called "American History X" and his first assignment is due the next morning: a paper about his brother, Derek, analyzing all the events leading up to Derek's incarceration and the subsequent impact on Danny's life.

The next scenes are flashbacks explaining Derek's journey from a suburban white teenager to a vengeance-seeking white supremacist. Derek had already been influenced by his firefighter father's latent racism, and is driven to action when his father is murdered in a drive-by shooting; shortly afterward, he goes on an racial slur-laden tirade blaming blacks, Asians and Hispanics for his father's death, saying that most of the crimes in the country are race-driven. Instead of saying "affirmative action", Derek's father says, "affirmative black-tion." His father says that two black men were given positions as firefighters due to quotas even though weren't as qualified for the position as two white men, which endangered the whole firefighting team.

Eventually Derek becomes second-in-command of the Venice Beach Neo-Nazi gang, "The DOC", and entices young whites to join by promising protection from predominantly minority gangs in the area. The gang is masterminded by Cameron Alexander. The gang commits acts of intimidation such as damaging a store owned by a Korean American and challenging basketball games against groups of black players.

One night while Derek is in the midst of rough sex with his girlfriend Stacy and while Danny tries to sleep, three black men arrive on the lawn and break into Derek's truck. Danny interrupts the sex between Stacy and Derek to tell him about the scene outside. Brandishing a handgun, Derek exits the house and violently confronts the men, killing one and wounding another. He also fires on the third man who makes a hasty getaway in a car. After recognizing the wounded man as a player from the earlier basketball game, Derek kills him by ordering him to place his mouth on the curb and then stomping on the back of his head, breaking his neck (a curb stomping). Danny watches in horror, then witnesses his brother submitting to the police officers and smiling triumphantly, presumably because he feels no remorse for his actions.

Derek is sentenced to prison after being charged with voluntary manslaughter. Danny states that if he had testified, Derek would have received life imprisonment for murder. In prison, Derek joins the Aryan Brotherhood for protection. Over time however, Derek becomes disillusioned with the Aryan Brotherhood, especially over the group's dealings with a Mexican gang which Derek thinks his gang should have nothing to do with. Acting out in defiance, Derek angers key members of the Brotherhood and they rape him in the showers while the guard on duty turns a blind eye.

Meanwhile, Derek makes the acquaintance of a black inmate named Lamont while working in the prison laundry room. Although Derek initially scorns Lamont, he gradually warms up to him. Following the rape, his former teacher Dr. Sweeney pays a visit to the prison and Derek, now confused and distraught, asks him for help after all the atrocities he has committed. Sweeney, currently the school principal, informs him of his younger brother Danny's aspirations of becoming a Neo-Nazi just like Derek. He also confides in Derek that he himself used to hate white people as a youth, but he came to the realization that his racism was pointless. During perhaps the most pivotal scene in the film Sweeney asserts that Derek has spent his life pursuing answers, but Sweeney then askes Derek a question that soon changes the course of his life and future: "Has anything you've done made your life better?" This proves a turning point for Derek, who distances himself from the Aryan Brotherhood and changes his outlook on life. Lamont emerges as his only true friend in prison, going so far as to protect him from the black gangs who would have violently struck out at Derek once he left the protection of his gang.

Derek returns home to find that Danny has become a skinhead. After failing to convince Danny to leave the gang, Derek visits Alexander and informs him that he will no longer associate with him and tells him to stay away from Danny. Derek beats Cameron before leaving his office. During an ensuing confrontation, Derek's friend Seth points a gun at Derek in disgust and anger at Derek's b

i thinks its a good movie because it shows america how some people are and how racist we have become but it also shows that some people can change it would be somewhat a good educational movie but that's just my opinion
