South

When white supremisist Norton Bailey turns 18 his white supremisist parents reveal to him that he is not their biological son. This shakes the foundations of Norton's reality, he suddenly finds himself flooded with questions about who he really is. So Norton seeks out an agency that reunites estranged family members through DNA testing. The test results come in the mail and reveal that Norton's real father is a man named Charles. The letter also designates a time and place where they can meet. When Norton arrives at the park where the meeting was arranged the only person there is a black man who turns out to be Norton's father Charles. Norton really struggles with this revelation because he was always taught that poeple from other races were subhuman, but as he sits down and talks to Charles he learns a valuable lesson: People should only be judged by the good that they accomplish in life, not by the color of their parents skin. However a 20 minute chat with some guy at a park isn't going to erase 18 years of neo-nazi indoctrination and he still belives that people should be judged on the color of their own skin. So he lynches Charles. When he gets back to his adoptive parents and tells them about everything they have a much different view point on the situation. They believe that you should be judged by the color of you parents skin because you aren't really white unless you are pure white. So they slip Norton some heavy sleeping pills and hang him in the tree in the backyard. I think that Angelina Jolie would be perfect for the part of Nortons racist Mother.
