DW GRIFFITH A CORNER IN WHEAT 1909

redredreds is right... racism was extremely common when Griffith was in his prime. many of his movies involve race mixing

Of course Griffith was a racist, has nothing to do with making the movie, but people of his generation were racist, they knew no better

you should learn your history, back in those days after the war, the south was broke, hence sprung forth a lot of crime, and "mafia" like group was formed called the carpet baggers, they gave blacks rights and freedom, not because they were good, but just to anger, when the KKK first formed, it was spearheaded against the carpet baggers and the blacks that worked along side them, KKK, believe it or not, were a good organization in the beginning, but they like most powers got out of hand.

GAVE BLACKS FREEDOM?? THEY WERE ENTITLED JUST LIKE YOU AND ME!!!!!You should learn HISTORY! History is not etched in stone. It is often changed to reflect the views of those in power. Not only do the spoils go to the victor, but so does the writing of history. I grew up in the northwest, being taught that the Civil War was fought to free the slaves...it was much more complicated then that. A lot had to do with states rights. You're very naive to believe the carpet baggers were organized.

regardles, had your tyranical, overbearing, dictating country, had not marched into africa, and dragged these poor people from their homeland, and enslaved them, oppressing them for years, beating, raping and murdering them, there would have been no civil war, I often your fellow countrymen, complaining of the "black" race in america, and how much crime they are involve in, SUCK IT UP, you created it, you created your own Frankenstein, most americans, don't know, just how much they are despised

You know, you are a stupid ASS. You're trying to blame me for what happend two hundred years ago??? I had as much to do with it AS YOU DO! Why don't you blame your self? And you"re BLAMING ME FOR BIGOTS ACTIONS TODAY?? AGAIN I SAY BLAME YOURSELF, AS I HAVE AS MUCH TO DO with it as you do! You are a total ignorant fool !! I created it?? These are some of the dumbest statements I have ever read!! I am a progressive liberal, and hate everything that bush did and stood for.

And in case you haven't gotten any news under the rock that you live under, the republicans were soundly thrashed in the last election. Mr Obama was against the Iraq war and the occupation from the very beginning!! His election proves that a majority of US citizens reject the war politics of the repubicans and want our country heading in a totally different direction. I will defend and take responsibily for people that act in ways that are consistent with my beliefs.

I will defend and take responsibily for people that act in ways that are consistent with my beliefs, BUT DON'T YOU DARE BLAME me for the imperialist actions of bush and all the other criminals he had under his authoritity. Many US citizens, including myself, were fighting and very vocal against bush every step of the way. Learn your history. For the most part, other blacks, including black Muslims, were the ones who kidnapped and then traded the poor victims to the white slavers.

The slave trade had been going on for centuries befor the atlantic slave trade began. Unfortunately, they were treated as a resource. They were enslaved and taken to the Arabic countries, India and others, where they were traded for finished goods.
HEED YOUR OWN ADVICE-LEARN YOUR HISTORY AND EDUCATE YOURSELF.

Its late and I didn't proofread very well...before has an "E" at the end. Forgive any others please.
