The Birth of a Nation, D. W. Griffith, 1915

[MetrazolElectricity]

There was once an organization that protected white womanhood from negro rapists... sigh. Vote Romeny 2012! We need to bring our Country back!

[darrouken]

Is Peter Jackson going to remake this?

[KeanuFan1981]

Disgusting.

[latinlovelust]

i love youtube for thhis... it let us knows what they always thought of us..... as much as they try cover up it, these movies let america knows where it comes from... thanks for your honest comments and keep them coming...

[warblerab]

@latinlovelust yes many did think this way. some still do, but a lot less than what it used to be. not all of us. A lot still needs to be done, but we've made a lot of progress since the time this movie was made.

[nakedscrewmonkey]

@slownoman

Eh, shot de fock up, mang!

Great stuff, I only wish the video quality was bette!!

[DeadlyVeggie]

I love what Coppola did with this in Apocalypse Now. He's such an under-rated director...

[slownoman]

this piece of cracker shit is as vile a propaganda film as Triumph of the Will (Leni Reifenstahl... look it up, white trash assholes). Yeah them happy darkies just dancin' and laughin' 'cause they so damned happy to be slaves to de massa. Fuck that. And fuck the CSA.

[tyronewashington1]

@slownoman better then the shithole known as africa (sub saharan, not north africa because the arabs colonised it), you niggers would be chucking spears at one another to this day if we did not find you

[darkxoasis]

Any discriminating racist can go fund NASA to go take them to a planet far enough away from here. I understand that everyone isn't equal. But don't treat them as if they weren't created to be. At least once you get to your own planet you can start discriminating the differences within each of yourselves. It's pretty much the same thing we have right down here on Earth. So don't act like you have a shred of morality in what you do.

[shyjayb]

The making of this film and its depictions were Primarily responsible for the reprisal of the KKK during what would be their most prominent era, with membership reaching somewhere around 4 million in numbers by the Mid-1920's. It's sad, but it's true. Thank god the Civil rights movement of the 60's finally put a dagger in this organization..

[LordPullen]

White Power!

[Dragula1888]

@KKKSuperFan

Can you explain that a bit simpler.

Sorry, I'm a bit stupid

[Dragula1888]

@KKKSuperFan

I take it you like the KKK

[fortisKID]

This movie received many protests when it was released (especially by the NAACP). Almost immediately, it was banned in every state of the U.S. It is still banned in many states today.

[william19882007]

Couple of facts, this was the first full length feature film in the US. It was screened at the White House to President Wilson's delight, he went so far as to say "it's all too true", and "writing history with lightening". He, like so many Americans, thought this was an actual documentary. It went on to gross $11 million and lead to numerous killings across the country. Set this country back 70 years.

[william19882007]

What really kills me is that fact that this was more or less the first full length feature fill in the United States. Quite embarrassing if you ask me. To make things worse I believe this was screened at the white house. AND, Wilson was purported as to saying he liked it and it was "all too true". It went on to earn $11 million. It is presented as a documentary too, which is all the more worse. This 'film' set America back a half century.

[william19882007]

SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO OVER-DUB THE 'BENNY HILL' THEME SONG TO THIS. I said it first, lol

[Deguello321]

Thousands of people denounced the film Birth of a Nation when that racist shit came out. Both Blacks and Whites denounced it. Griffith was a vile racist. Let's not excuse racism because a lot of idiots were that way--always remember that there were thousands of whites that opposed white supremacy, John Brown, John Adams, Col. Robert Shaw, Benjamin Lundy, the Quakers, and more. Stupid is always stupid no matter if it was during the time of Sparatus or when that ass hole Griffith did his dirt.

[yossso]

The KKK today is but a shadow of what it was suppose to be.

1. Their website looks like it was made by a 14 years old.

2. The can't bash blacks.

3. They are bashing Jews.

Afraid to bash blacks?Fine. Proud to be white? Good! Bashing Jews and thinking that THEY are your problem? Why? Eat shit, morons!

Your problems are blacks, muslims, and black muslims. Not Jews. You God damned pussified bunch of retards!

The majority of Jews worldwide are genuinly white. David was a red head and had blue eyes.

[mafaq14]

@yossso "The majority of Jews worldwide are genuinly white"

So???

Listen up man, I'm not trying to spark an argument or something here but I couldn't stay outside of this.

See, it doesn't matter what race, religion, nationality, whatever you are. We are all human beings and in my opinion all human beings are equal.

So white, black, muslim, christian, jew, hindu, etc. doesn't make any difference. We are all human beings and we all have rights to liberty.

[yossso]

@mafaq14

So? So if the KKK are white supremists, and Jews of USA are white, then why do they bash Jews? The truth is, they just seek to beat somebody up because they hate humans. So they pretend to have a reason to do so.

Not 2 people are equal, in any thing, that's the beauty of nature. Leave equality for Math.

Liberty is for everyone BUT Muslims, you can't convert, mafaq14 - you'll get killed.

First off, it's Jewish, not jewish. Race is the only thing that isn't a choice. You hope I'll die.

[mafaq14]

@yossso Let's start right here.

"You hope I'll die"

No I don't. I think that I am smart enough to take other people's opinion and broaden my mind to other possibilities.

"First off, it's Jewish, not jewish"

Extremely sorry about that one. I would be more careful next time. I promise.

[mafaq14]

"Not 2 people are equal, in any thing, that's the beauty of nature"

In my opinion, people are created equal and they have equal rights and if some ignorants don't respect that, that doesn't matter at all. Every person has a right to liberty and freedom and I will make sure I always respect that regardless of the situation I am in.

And please don't blame nature for this. No one is born with a bigger nose or a superior brain. It's the people who are racist towards others not nature.

[mafaq14]

@yossso Also, religion is not a personal choice. I was born in a Muslim household so I am a Muslim. You were (most probably) born in a jewish household and you are jewish.

Same goes for everything other race, religion, ethnicity etc.

And hey I don't have anything personal against you. It's your opinion and you are entitled to it but I just wanted to share my opinion with you :)

Hope you don't take it the wrong way.

[yossso]

In Israel, white Jews are suffering from brown Jews.

The racism especially comes from Morrocan Jews. - The worst of a brown Jews.

As if the Holocaust and the arabs weren't enough, an enemy from within too... terrible.

[neilbahadur1]

Contains all of the grandeur of grand stage and tragic opera. Yet it is a truer depiction of America as ever.

[gdcardona91]

did any one notice that the between 0:00 and 0:08 that same scene is in Forrest Gump in the begging of the movie when Forrest starts talking about how he got his name from the civil war hero general nathan bedford forrest then it shows this same scene

[tonythetigrr12]

WHITE POWER!!!



[DustedBlade]

rofl honestly when people argue about racism its funny because most of its true honestly if you look at it tho he drone wasnt being racist he just stating an opinion of his truly i hate the kkk but if they arent doing anything and are just little shitheads in cloaks look outside your window in a bigger city you ll more the likely see the so called "gangsters" who are just doing whatever they are more of a threat nowadays then the little kkk clan

[f676]

Looks like one of those Tea Party rallies... or at least the way Fox News would describe them

[RAYMOND1531]

live the kkk

[ohio1960]

Yeah! That`s what I call" AFFIRMATIVE ACTION"

[xToxicKiller94x]

this was the first motion picture ever made

[brendanpr21]

@xToxicKiller94x Ummm, no, it wasn't

[SVTRiots]

Fuck KKK

[mmmmmvodka]

Riiiiggght. Because blacks actually ruled white southerners in the past. *rolls eyes*

[Thrillcekr]

Hard to believe that anyone could have actually sat through this movie. That was nine and a half of the most painfully boring minutes of my entire life!

@Charliecomet82 smells like dog-poop

[MrPlayboywest]

this video is awsome.....oh wait sike

[spites1]

@morticiahatescoons

dumb fat white trash trailer whore your not worth the shit your dad kicks in his shitty manual labor job lol

[hakkedupeiling]

if some guy had said black power no one would react, but u spams a guy down with poor comment because he said white power

[FireyTouch]

Simply because of the history of the phrase "white power" personally I hate any phrase like that because it's implying that one race should be in control when in a civil society it would be equal power :)

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling that's because they aren't the same thing you goddamn fucking dunce

"black power" was coined by SNCC as a call for the black community to concentrate primarily economic power as a means to GAIN civil rights and civic equality

"white power" was coined by a bunch of white supremacists to do the exact opposite, to PREVENT minorities from getting civil rights and civic equality

goddamn you are fucking dumb.

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 why cant it be the same thing? are you racist? :O lol

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling they can't be the same thing because for about 400 years blacks in america have been treated radically different from whites, which i clearly fucking explained

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 Critics charge that black nationalism is simply black supremacism in disguise, and some argue that the implication of inherent cultures or unity based on race (a central idea of black nationalism) is itself racist.

Also, the idea of white nationalism is considered racist, while black nationalism is promoted by the same people who criticize white nationalism.

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling SNCC didn't advocate black nationalism, and the consolidation of economic power is not black nationalism

so basically none of that shit fucking matters and you're still a racist shitheel. white and black are not interchangeable terms in a white supremacist country like the us, and your faux color blind racism is still racism by dint of ignoring the long history of racial subjugation and white priviledge

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 why do you call me a racist shitheel? have i said anything racist? i just stated a fact: if some white guy had said white power everyone would rage, but if some black guy said black power no one would react. nothing more than that. stop judging people or else you are as bad as the racists you hate.

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling i called you a racist because that's what you are. you weren't "stating a fact." you were defending someone who said white power, you racist piece of shit, and don't pretend otherwise. now shut your ignorant fucking mouth, you goddamn child

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 so tell me,is it not true that no one would react if someone say black power? and is it not true that people like you would rage if someone say white power? tell me if im wrong. im not the ignorant one, your just to naive and not reflected enough because this is obvisly a taboo for you. everything that is somehow connected to "rasicm" is hush hush for you. i guess people arent allowed to reflect on questions like mine, huh?and get some better arguments that calling me racist, thats used

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling lol, that's an awfully big shovel you're using to shove those words in my mouth. people are free to say and think whatever they want, just like i'm free to call racist pieces of shit like you ignorant motherfuckers. fact is, you weren't making some general observation, and you weren't reflecting on the question; you were trying to imply that there is an unfair double standard favoring black people, which is a huge load of racist fucking horseshit. stfu

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 people arent gonna take you serious as long as you dont come with better arguments like rasict fuck etc. and if allowed to say what i want; why do you rage so upon me when explained my point of view on the white/black power? you know that racism go both wayes? or are you that naive? and i havent even mentioned anything about favoring black people. i would be pleased if you could be serious on your next comment and dont write stuff like you did on your last comment

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling just because you're allowed to say it doesn't mean you're guaranteed that no one will tell you to shut the fuck up. if you don't want to be called a racist, don't say racist fucking things. it's that goddamn simple.

and lol at the idea of any youtube comment being about logic. it's 500 characters long, you dunce. the only purpose is to insult other people. you are obviously very bad at this, so how about you just go give your shotgun a blowjob

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 i didnt say anything racist. you may got offended by it, but it seems like you are a fanatic. im not gonna reply to you anymore unless you change your way of argumentation. its you who fail at insulting, i never intended to insult anyone. i only get depressed watching your comments for knowing how stupid some people can be.

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling if it makes you depressed does that mean there's a chance you'll end your miserable fucking existence

because if so, i can keep this up for a long time

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 white power!

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling there it goes. knew you couldn't keep it in for long

does it make you angry that you can't shout that shit in public without getting your pathetic skinny ass beat down like a rabid dog. i bet it does. i bet it makes you so angry you can't contain it. but sorry, civilization is moving on without you, and you are simply a festering canker that we haven't removed yet. give it time

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 haha, and you took the bait, eh

[drone81]

@hakkedupeiling it's not bait if there isn't a hook, dipshit. without a hook, it's just a snack. a rancid, putrid, racist-as-fuck snack.

now go back to sucking on your mama's titty

[hakkedupeiling]

@drone81 someone got temper issues

[scarletpimpernel1793]
