To quote her, "I've got nothing against niggers and Jews, but the Catholics were taking over [city] and I just couldn't stand that.
Grandma grew out of this period; I married a Jewish girl and she was very kind and loving to her and seemed to adore our child. Grandma died in I never got to seriously discuss that period of her life or if she saw this movie, but she said more than once that Pres. Wilson was the worst thing that happened to this country with his federal legalized segregation.
Then, I know of the year black holocaust. I think it was the most atrocious, evil, demonically induced holocaust in history. The second greatest was that of Ukraine. Twenty to thirty million Ukrainians were starved to death in the late s to the mid s. They were forced into collective farming, their farm implements and their work animals confiscated.
Corpses were disinternned and eaten. Finally children were kidnapped and cannibalized. I cannot begin to imagine the sufferings these Africans and Ukrainians went through. I certainly make no pretence to knowing HIS will. However, if I may, from my view as a human being I cannot conceive of a hell too tormenting, too eternal for these. This said, black people in the Western World, especially in the USA,have access to all the science, technology, medical care, culture, which it took white people millennia to create.
The only technology, etc, in Sub-Saharan black Africa is that which white people gave them. Blacks, native and otherwise love to go on about how white imperialists colonized them. Was it better when Europeans left and all he'll broke loose, e.
At some time in all peoples nations there has been invasion and conquest. Sometimes the treatment of the conquered was nearly too bad for words to express.
However, of all the brutality and cruel oppression through millennia blacks are the only people who will not, cannot, let it go. Instead of taking advantage of all the abundance which they have received, especially in the last sixty plus years, all they do is whine about mistreatment they have suffered, amazingly, even before they were born.
The reason is clear, and pitiful, they simply don't cut it, don't measure up, and are woefully out of the jungle in the White Man's World. As for the Jewish "holy hoax", of course it was real. So real that it's the only historical event ever enforced by law to its veracity. Great Movie! Look at all the "useful idiots" longing for their own extinction. As you read this you are being replaced. You are being manipulated by your optic nerves. But you call me racist and yet it is you who demean and ridicule the proud legitimate rulers of the world.
When you have killed the white goose that laid all those golden eggs and you are now just the creations of Dr Moreau, enjoy your existence as tenants in the ruins of a once great land. Democrats didn't vote against the civil rights act. It was pushed through Congress by Lyndon Johnson, and was passed by a majority of either party.
George Wallace ran for President as a third party independent. The idea that Trump isn't a racist because he dated a black woman is ridiculous on its face.
Every wife beater has dated a woman. Okay, the movie? By the time Birth of a Nation was made, the history of the south had been scrubbed and sanitized by the "Lost Cause" dogma largely through the efforts of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The film corresponded to the historical record, but by the historic record had been altered. But, you know, great cinematography. Reviewer: Shempless - favorite favorite favorite - May 2, Subject: Straighten something out for me. The Republican party was the the Abolitionist anti-slavery party.
FDR, a Democrat, interned innocent citizens of Japanese decent? Wallace, a democrat, ran on the Segregation platform? As recent as the democratic party voted against the Civil Rights Act. One could hardly call , one hundred years after the Civil War, the reconstruction period.
And still to this day people tag the Republican Party as the racist? Even Trump has a history of black friends and associates. He even dated a black women. He is the only President to recognize Jerusalem. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations.
And there was found no place for them. Reviewer: drrichard - - February 25, Subject: Brilliant and Terrible Historically it made many important advances in film techniques, and some of the battle scenes are magnificent. Historiclally, it also is awful, distorting the facts and glorifying a real American terrorist organization while encouraging its rebirth in Reconstruction was a very difficult period, and it is not certain that Lincoln's gentle version would have worked.
But what people of color in the South ended up with was a nightmare of brutality and poverty--it is no wonder they left by the millions. This film encouraged a system that shamed America and set the South back even further. Reviewer: manhattansunrise - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 4, Subject: It was a masterful work in its time and timeless today The film is just as true today as it was more than a century ago.
Reviewer: dudekid - favorite favorite favorite - July 28, Subject: Public Domain Not really a review, but can anyone here or the uploader tell me whether this version is free and legal to use for reproduction?
This movie should be in the public domain but wanted just to confirm if this version would be okay to use in another production such as a documentary.
Reviewer: Kentuckytradingpost - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - June 21, Subject: spot on the truth in film. Justification for Racism and Segregation It's a shame this film was so popular. It represents the misguided thinking of the "redeemed" South and the mythical "Lost Cause. Really sad that this thinking is perpetuated today. The Civil War was fought over slavery, the Confederacy was based on racism and slavery, and the post-war South perpetuated racism, segregation, terrorism, and murder for a century.
This film is racist propaganda. And no, I am not a liberal. Reviewer: gentlyspirited - - February 6, Subject: A Trump follower dream garbage of a movie The spectacle of the depraved exceptionalism of a racist nation with no equals in the entire history of humankind.

Reviewer: Oquin - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 1, Subject: A historically correct- albeit truncated, portrayal of the Reconstruction period Once you get used to the silent aspect of it, this is an engaging film.
It didn't match the stories passed down in my family at. Reviewer: micah6vs8 - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - February 16, Subject: A Transformational Film A groundbreaking film of its time, in technique and scope. An accurate portrayal of American racism between whites and blacks in the 19th century.
Like Huckleberry Finn it is inexcusable to censor or window dress the film to make it more pleasant to our ears. Reviewer: kareneliot - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - February 16, Subject: I do not exaggerate You should only watch this if you are strong enough to handle having the Civil War in your soul. Because this movie WILL stick with you like glue, that is - unless you have no soul Reviewer: doowopbob - favorite favorite favorite favorite - December 29, Subject For Those Wondering how to convert this 3 hr.

Reviewer: rhgliere - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 24, Subject: Soundtrack It doesn't seem like this is the original soundtrack, but I really wanted to know where the music was from. Opinions are not facts. It was an international success. Their beliefs at the time are not necessarily the beliefs of those today. They were not even the beliefs of everyone from that era. Films are a point of view of the Director. And the closing card of the film, as noted by a previous reviewer states the Director's intent.
The acting, scope, style are indeed a powerful, as is Gone With The Wind when viewed today. When looked at with open minded hearts and eyes and placed in context of the time it was released - indeed, a masterpiece. Reviewer: trilby - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 15, Subject: Historically Speaking David W. Griffith's wonderfully visionary story about World War I, the consequences of seeking retributions from and causing damage to Germany under the Treaty of Versailles, the formation of The League of Nations to try to enforce the unfair terms of that treaty, and the equally horrible but very predictable retaliation by the misled followers of a racist visioniory of an Aryian nation named Adolph Hitler; right up to the invasion of Poland to reclaim the Polish corridor.
That's the movie you saw, right? If not, maybe the adage "Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it.
Thanks D. And the racism in this film should NOT be simply overlooked or excused. What is especially insidious is that the story is portrayed as 'fact'. There was an interview with Griffith in , seen on Masters of the Silent Screen and when asked about this film, he actually believed this is what the South post-Civil War was really like - at first, I thought, 'how in the WORLD could he actually think that?
