At 3:50 he says "The Klan at that time was needed" implying that it wasn't needed post-Reconstruction
>this movie has nothing to do with the Klan
When did I say that
That's true, but I figure some people here have an interest in film

>you have bad reading comprehension though, I'm just trying to remove him from his literal Klan association and reason for making the movie!

not as racist as people like to exaggerate because of muh slavery and blackface. Just a standard story of love and loss within the civil war with a fed up half nigger rising up and failing and the KKK becoming a policing force to combat the revolt and with Lincoln's death being the true Birth of A Nation
Anthony Campbell
That's not an issue with reading comprehension you fucking ESL retard, he's extrapolating what you're basically attempting to say; to distance Griffith with the Klan.

This is probably bait, but I don't care. The Klan was created during Reconstruction as the white Southerners' response to all the Republican policies that gave blacks more rights. They were successful at keeping blacks out of politics for the time being, and then the organization kinda just died. Fast forward to 1915 when Birth of a Nation is released, and a resurgence in the Klan happens in part due to the film. The film, which depicts the original Klan. The original Klan is not the same as the resurgence that began in 1915. Many of the modern KKK cliches like the burning crosses weren't even established until 1915
