Being a nation founded on "liberty and justice for all," some Americans argue that our country faces an ongoing double standard of equality. Hate groups like the New Black Panthers and Neo Nazis are experiencing a resurgence among post-Civil Rights Era generations, and inequalities within the justice system have sparked major debates across the country, while hate speech - like that of former NBA franchise owner Donald Sterling - is becoming more common place. In Hate in America, a new special greenlit by Investigation Discovery (ID), Emmy-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, and Al Jazeera America anchor Tony Harris pulls back the curtain on modern-day racism, coming face to face with both the criminals and victims of hate, to examine the current realities of race relations and explore the so-called "rational roots of irrational behavior." The one-hour special, produced by NBC News' award-winning production arm Peacock Productions, will premiere on ID in early 2015. (Source: Discovery)
