Kimi and Erica discuss our latest episode with Tim Zaal and Matthew Boger, the racist skinhead movement of the 80's, the resurgence of the white supremacy movement driven by the rise of the alt-right, and how to facilitate a change in ideology (secret: it's not by yelling or punching someone in the face) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It took three months of working together at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles before Matthew Boger and Tim Zaal realized they had met before, as teenagers in the 80's, when then Neo-Nazi skinhead Tim beat Matthew, a homeless, gay 14-year old, nearly to death. This moment of recognition began a process of healing and forgiveness that led the two men to speak together on stages across the country about their unlikely friendship. Today, Matthew and Tim share a vision that all things are possible, and provide hope to those who feel lost or otherwise unable to break free from the past.

In the weeks since the shooting at a Poway Synagogue, leaders have tried to grapple with the task of combating hate. For two former skinheads, leaving the mindset of hate was a choice they were able to make. Tim Zaal and TM Garret are speaking about how they have learned to stop hating other people. Men like these serve as a sign of hope, and that there is life after hate. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2019-05-11/cure-for-hate-former-skinheads

This episode examines the blight of bigotry and how it manifests in our communities. Recorded at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, Erin interviews extremist-turned-activist Tim Zaal. For years, Tim was deeply involved in the white supremacist movement, even going so far as to commit acts of violence against his perceived "enemy." It wasn’t until years later that Tim recognized the toxicity of his mindset and made the decision to leave that lifestyle. Tim traces his transformation from racism to activism, demonstrating in word and deed that it is never too late to change.

Freedom Writer Teacher Tara Bordeaux talks about overcoming tremendous obstacles and hateful opposition in her journey to becoming the 2018 Texas Teacher of the Year. Then Erin Gruwell shares her conversation with advocate and activist Matthew Boger. After being thrown out of his home at the age of thirteen because of his sexuality, Matthew was savagely beaten by a gang of neo-Nazis and left for dead.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to forgive hateful acts, especially perpetrated by someone on yourself. Documentary filmmaker Jason Cohen's "Facing Fear", featured at the 2013 Outfest Los Angeles, offers convincing evidence that reconciliation and forgiveness are still options even for a gay-bashing victim (Matthew Boger) and his then-neoNazi perpetrator (Tim Zaal). On Subversity Online, host Daniel C. Tsang talked with today Cohen about his film and explore the issues of forgiveness and hatred.
