This reminds me of how the far left is now claiming Star Wars is racist because Darth Vader was black and(in their minds) was also apparently quite a fan of watermelons.
Have you even seen American History X? There is not one confederate flag in the movie. You don't seem to understand that American History X isn't glorifying racism; it's condemning it. In the movie, Derek was a neo Nazi who went to prison for making a black man "bite the curb." He then realizes that his actions and former ideology were terrible when he's befriended by a black inmate. He is the released on parole and finds out his younger brother, Danny, is getting involved in that same ideology and then tries to get him to give up that life. You seem to think that it must be promoting racism because it shows neo Nazi symbols and black men being murdered, but this is not the case. Derek is also gang raped by a group of neo Nazis while in prison. Why aren't you complaining about that? If showing swasticas and a black man being murdered perpetuates racism, then showing a white man being gang raped must promote the idea that raping white men is a moral thing to do.
American History X isn't racist propaganda and anyone who's seen the entire movie knows that.

They wave around confederate flags like its the end of the world! They kick a black man to death on a curb, and yet... its one of the most popular, engaging films among younger males. When will it be banned? When will the outcry begin? This film is responsible for keeping whites in power and race-hate thriving.
so you want to start banning movies now, how about gone with the wind? you want to ban the showing of the dukes of hazzard? what else would you like to ban? if you dont like the movie, dont watch it. but we have this thing in this country called the first amendment, and that first amendment allows people to produce movies they think will make money, same with books and TV shows. now unless these items have no value what so ever, and are vulgar beyond what society thinks should be allowed, and even then the first amendment protects these things, banning movies, TV shows, books, etc are in fact unconstitutional.
This movie didn't celebrate White Supremecy and Racism, it demonized it appropriately. Some people need to put down the Whiskey or Vodka....
or the marijuana.
