One of them I knew about.
He'd been a farmer.
1:07:06
Stayed in Philadelphia.
1:07:08
He worked and saved to buy some land.
1:07:11
He thought of himself as
just another man living in America.
1:07:16
But suddenly one day he looked around
and saw that something had happened.
1:07:20
It frightened him.
1:07:22
Fear and hatred of all Irish Catholics had
developed and spread like a terrible disease.
1:07:29
He saw that he wasn't
an American anymore.
1:07:32
He was a dirty Irish Mick.
1:07:34
A priest lover. A spy from Rome.
1:07:38
A foreigner trying to rob men of jobs.
1:07:43
He didn't understand.
1:07:45
He didn't know what to do.
1:07:47
He didn't do much of anything.
He couldn't.
1:07:51
But one day, when a bunch of men
attacked his parish priest on the street...
1:07:56
...he waded in to help the priest.
1:07:58
He managed to get him inside a store.
1:08:02
That night, on the way home from work,
he stopped off for a beer.
1:08:07
When he left the bar...
1:08:09
...two men followed him
carrying empty whiskey bottles.
1:08:13
They didn't mean to kill him.
1:08:15
They were just going to
rough him up a little.
1:08:19
They didn't start out to kill, they just started
out hating. The way Monty started out.
1:08:24
But 20 minutes later
my grandfather was dead.
1:08:28
That's history, Leroy.
1:08:30
They don't teach it in school,
but it's real American history just the same.
1:08:37
Thomas Finlay was killed in 1848 just
because he was an Irishman and a Catholic.
1:08:42
It happened many times.
1:08:44
Maybe that's hard for you to believe,
Leroy, but it's true.
1:08:48
And last night, Joseph Samuels was killed
just because he was a Jew.
1:08:53
Do you see any difference, Leroy?
Any difference at all?
1:08:59
Hating is always the same.
Always senseless.
