If your white and think about what is said it really is true.(.Ex : Rodney King,welfare,slavery, ect.) I own this movie and find different points each time I view the film. I must say that I agreed with skinheads about some things that were said and hated the false and twisted other things.After viewing this film a number of times I feel the ending was a cop out. Where was the closeure? Where did Derek go from there? A MUST SEE Mikel-Chas.

Just kidding, this movie teaches you what a waste of time it is to be a hater, the ending is awesome, Edward Norton does the best job ever, he is absolutely phenomenal in his role, what an excellent portrayal of a shallow white supremacist. It is thought provoking and emotionally moving, and of course it teaches you a lesson at the end...

Truly one of the most remarkable pieces of American cinema. Strong, emotional performances, superb direction and scripting! Films like AHX reveal glimpses of parts of our society which receive little attention beyond stereotyping from Hollywood. This film, when first released, made me look at Edward Norton as a seriously talented performer; a standout in his particular generation of Hollywood talent. Easily recommended for more mature audiences.
