Police believe--

[ several ]: Suspect--

1:00:05
- The suspect is a black male
- A black man.

1:00:07
[ various voices ]:
A black... black... black...

1:00:10
- A black man.
1:00:11
- Susan Smith drowns
her two children.

1:00:14
She tells people a black guy...
- Correct.

1:00:16
- Stole the car
and stole the kids.

1:00:19
And everyone, at first,
bought it.

1:00:22
- Some guy jumped into her car,
with her two kids in it.

1:00:25
Then he took off.
That's a black guy, she says.

1:00:28
- Black male?
- Yes, Ma'am.

1:00:30
- And I told them I loved them.
I hollered I loved them

1:00:33
And it's just a tragedy.
1:00:35
- The anonymous urban -
which means usually black -

1:00:39
male, comes by and does this.
1:00:41
It's the excuse
for all kinds of things.

1:00:44
- Charles Stewart,
a lawyer in Boston...

1:00:45
- Right, exactly.
- ...kills his pregnant wife,

1:00:47
says a black guy did it;
everybody buys it.

1:00:50
- The suspect described as a
black male about six feet tall.

1:00:53
Chuck and Carol Stewart
were robbed at gunpoint

1:00:55
as they left a Lamaze class.
1:00:57
It seemed the ultimate
urban nightmare.

1:00:59
- You know, the thing I love
about this country of mine,

1:01:02
is that whether you're
a psychotic killer

1:01:04
or running for president
of the United States,

1:01:07
the one thing you can
always count on

1:01:10
is white America's fear
of the black man.

1:01:13
- We've heard the stories
on the news and in the papers

1:01:16
and they have killed people.
1:01:18
Killer bees, also known
1:01:20
as "Africanized" bees.
1:01:21
- I'm scared. I'm really worried.
1:01:24
- Rose Shipley never expected a
nest of Africanized killer bees

1:01:27
to shack up across the street
from her.

1:01:29
- But I'm terribly allergic
to them and so are my grandkids.

1:01:33
- They're originally from
southern and eastern Africa.

1:01:34
Dr. Warrick Care brought some
to Brazil in 1956

1:01:38
and tried to mate them
1:01:40
with the European bee,
the kind that we're used to.

1:01:43
But they got loose and moved
to the southern United States.

1:01:47
- The main difference between
a traditional honey bee

1:01:48
and an Africanized bee is
the bee's aggressiveness.

1:01:52
If I was to do this
to an Africanized bee's hive,

1:01:55
I could have several hundred
stings in a matter of minutes.

1:01:58
- Danny Self raises the kinder,
gentler European bees,
