"Parker has provocatively given The Birth of a Nation a title matching that of D.W. Griffith’s 1915 silent opus, which pioneered feature film storytelling but also championed the racist Ku Klux Klan."

Wouldn't it be something if President Trump viewed this at the White House?

Affirmative action regardless of what segment of the culture is poisonous.

So Parker made the film with the hope of creating change agents?Does he mean black assassins?

For FReep’s sake. I don’t go to movies for a diversity injection. The trouble with year’s movies? Nothing but hatred of straights and whites, and white men. Being a white man, I give a sh*t less about that, but the lecturing is sooooooo tedious.

Nothing like a vicious racial slaughter to amuse.

Nat Turner was a terrorist. He was a mass murderer. He was the original #BlackLivesMatter thug. And he and his followers did nothing whatsoever to hasten the end of slavery.

There is no difference between admirers of Nat Turner and admirers of Charles Manson.

Nat Turner, an American-born preacher who in 1831 led the most successful slave rebellion in U.S. history. The revolt left 250 people slain, mostly blacks killed in retaliation by whites.

That's what they call a "successful slave rebellion" huh?

The uprising helped turn the tide against slavery and changed U.S. history.

No, it didn't.

It’s an American hero story that needs telling

So if Nat Turner is a hero for killing unarmed white people then why isn't the Virginia militia heroes for killing unarmed black slaves?
