hatred as an american trait

As a result of my jetlag (A'dam-Houston) and being awake at 3 AM, I watched a really good documentary on Free Speech TV, "The Letter." Racisim and hatred show their colors (white) in Lewiston, Maryland, sparked by an open letter the Mayor writes to the citizens who are Somalians.

It is straightforward and uses classic techniques of cuts and close-ups. Wow, to see laid bare the sickness and terror of US whites as they lash out venomously towards blacks, asians, latinos and jews. This is a good synopsis of the film. This justaposed with the majority who make a stand against this cold-blooded hatred. It's worth seeing if you can access it.
