The teaser poster will get replaced nationwide with a new poster in the coming weeks...".* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur break it down.

It's an issue of historical continuity. You can't talk about Neighborhood Watch, the police, the courts, or any other institution, in terms of its reason for being in 2012, without understanding what its predecessors were like. You can't talk about labor struggles now without understanding Lawrence, MA, 1912. You can't talk about war and imperialism now without talking about WWI. You're right that so much has changed, so we have to figure out what's changed, what's stayed the same, why, and how.

1910. 2012. Huge difference.

Birth of a Nation by Griffith. It came out in the 1910's. If you adjust for inflation, it's still one of the best selling Hollywood films ever made, along with Gone with the Wind, which glorifies slave-holders. I highly recommend you watch it. It actually inspired the rebirth of the Klan, which had been dying.
