This is, in my opinion, a disgusting, vulgar statement of hate by ignorant, mindless jackasses. But, that is MY opinion. Everyone has one and in America we are allowed to express ourselves. I just wish this kind of pure stupidity did not exist. What does the shade of ones skin have to do with ANYTHING? 😶

Genius, you know your opinions might be considered if you wouldn't use ad hominem terms. I am a member of the Democratic Party and I do not use ugly nicknames for the Republicans. It's the mark of a disingenuous "argument." Can't you be an adult?

dollis1963, True that it is a horrible film. However, check the nations prisons and compare the number of African Americans compared to other races. They are not the cause, but the US history of bad and oppressive treatment has socially engineered this situation. Equality and education is the solution this most unfortunate unresolved situation.

Wendell Thomas, those countries are all socialist regime. no thanks, I want to live in a free America. where I have the privilege to write what I want in a social media trivia platform and not be arrested for it. or read my bible in public, or teach my kids at home. yeah, I gotta say we are more free in this country than anywhere else in the world. is it perfect? nope, but its home and I'm proud to be an American.

Ziela1313, While people of color have made great strides and received success, isn’t sad that our country continues to struggle with race, diversity, and inclusion. It doesn’t speak to who we say we are in our Constitution. So disheartening!

AmazingCop2962, you have to consider the times. you can't put 2019 sensibilities into 1915 history. No matter how racist it was, unfortunately that's the attitude of the times. YOU CAN'T CHANGE HISTORY!!! what's done is done. you can't go back and change it.

AttackingCobra3250, I just want people to know there was another Birth of a Nation made years later depicting a black minister Nat Turner who followed Gods orders to revolt against slavery. Know the Truth.

Wendell Thomas, its true we imprison BUT we dont gun down protestors either, look up tianamen sqare massacre. in many countries people just disapear rather than imprison them.

this movie was completely a gross understanding & mistreatment of the people who were never meant to be equal or have justice or liberty.

CombativeChef56550, that's only what they want you to think. Truth is, neither party is really concerned for the true happiness of its citizens. It's all a game to them and we are the game pieces. Divide and conquer. We should all be on the same side. Equity, respect, fairness, freedom.
