The opening scene, shown in black and white, depicts Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton), a white supremacist, killing two black thugs who try to break into his car, while his brother Danny watches in shocked disbelief. The film then switches to color and skips ahead three years, and we see Danny, a 17-year-old white supremacist, sitting outside the principal’s office, where his history teacher explains to the principal, Dr. Sweeney (Avery Brooks), that Danny wrote an essay sympathetic to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. After some discussion, Dr. Sweeney calls Danny into his office and informs him that he will now be his history teacher, calling the class “American History X”, and that his first assignment is to write a paper about his brother Derek, or be expelled from Venice Beach High School.
