Two and a half years after the infamous Skinhead brawl, the hate debate returns to studio - this time with victims facing the KKK on stage. February 12th, 1992.
Roy Innis of CORE confronts ex-Grand Dragon Danny Carver and Klansmen from Georgia in an unedited historical document about racial violence in America during the early 90s.The first segment focuses on re-introducing the conflict. After a flashback to that original famous studio brawl, Danny Carver, Greg Walker and Dave Holland of the Southern White Knights, plus self-described great-grandma in the Klan Elizabeth Carey, lay out their views on pride, separation, drugs and government, with immediate pushback from Roy Innis.
Moving on from Danny Carver's racist insinuations we hear from the victims, changing the entire tone of the show. 12-year-old Brian from New York City, attacked and face-painted by white youths, speaks quietly backstage about humiliation, bad dreams, and why he judges people by character not color. Loretta Printup describes the murder of her 15-year-old honor-student son in Ohio by the son of a Klan leader and the desecration of his grave, while her older sons now at Ohio State challenge the Klansmen directly.
The middle and closing turns into open confrontation over affirmative action, crime statistics, David Duke, and segregated schools, ending with Carver's call to keep the white race pure and Innis warning about media and politicians blowing up small incidents -- this makes hate groups feel like they are winning.
