Birth Of A Nation (Movie) on You Tube is outstanding and will guarantee your anger. It's the Silent Film Version from 1915

This was no problem in 1915 but is a great big problem today. I view people as people and not according to color. Many people try to tell me "how black people are." They are totally wrong. Differences do not come along because of skin color. None of this makes the brain different. In my Kenyan ex I saw differences that would be tribal but nothing related to skin color or race. Most of us can see this same thing in the Irish and others as well.

It is a classic of white bigotry and supremacy. Its terribly depressing thatvin the US we have peoplw like that among us today.

There are already more than enough current things in the world that piss me off on a daily basis. I don't care to waste my time seeking out more. The few clips I saw of this 104yo movie in Black Klansman were plenty.

I think it's a fascinating film. Nowadays it's educational. Other films like Triumph Of The Will ditto.

I'm not even American and I don't think I'd be able to watch it without making myself upset.

PBS has been showing the documentary "Reconstruction" and this film is mentioned.

I have seen it and I wish that stunning advancement in movie making techniques had not been used to promote this racist propaganda that caused the KKK to reform and lead to a resurgence of lynchings.

classic of a (hopefully)bygone age... ...(avoid thoughts of censorship)...

It's a racist piece of garbage and should have been destroyed years ago. Censorship be damned on this.

There's another movie with the same name that came out a few years ago.

@dkp93 oh okay. any relation or just named the same with no other similarity?

@genessa The second one was about a slave uprising led by Nat Turner. It was a good movie, but heartbreaking as you might expect. I don't know why they gave it the same name as an old, racist movie. Perhaps it was an intentional statement.

@dkp93 it is baffling. thanks for letting me know about it. i may even check it out some time.

I have seen it many years ago. Very racist and all kinds of wrong.
