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.

1:09:03
One day it kills Irish Catholics,
the next day, Jews.

1:09:06
The next day, Protestants.
The next day, Quakers. It's hard to stop.

1:09:10
It can end up killing men
who wear striped neckties.

1:09:13
Or people from Tennessee.
1:09:19
Will you tell me exactly what to say?
1:09:23
I'll tell you exactly what to say.
