I’ve seen Birth of a Nation. It is just about the most racist movie in film history. It does glorify the KKK. The KKK are the heroes of the story. Every black character is played by a white guy in blackface. Just about every stereotype of black people can be found in it. It is also probably true that it is the first blockbuster in film history. It makes Song of the South look progressive.
