American History X
This movie made me realize, hate is taught. Yes, some people are inherently just evil human beings, but racism for the most part is taught, vulnerable people taken advantage of at an early age, they’re sense of reality warped.
Don’t give me wrong I think after you reach adulthood you are responsible for your own way of thinking but it certainly opened my eyes that it’s REALLY fucking hard to detach from that belief/mindset when it’s been hammered down to you since childhood, even in the most subtle ways.
Edit: I think this movie should shown at school.
