Higher Learning

In 1995 I remember watching a movie titled Higher Learning. In it one of the characters played by actor Michael Rapaport (Remy), befriends a white supremacist, and eventually joins a Neo Nazi Skinhead group.

The movie dabbles in some of today's social issues, and how peer pressure affected these young students while they tried to fit in their society. In the movie, Remy is brainwashed to kill for the white race. 

I was reminded of the movie when I saw a picture of Neo-Nazi groups planning yesterday's "National Day of Hate" protest in the United States.

While the United States protects the right of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and other hate groups to hold public rallies and express their views openly, Germany has strict laws banning Nazi symbols. 

Looking at the top picture, it is clear that we have a lot of young men in the United States trying to fit in, and being brainwashed to hate. Why are these young men so mad that they feel the need to embrace a hateful ideology and loathe those different than them?
