As with Islam so with Communism. Everything that preceded the advent of Communism or Islam must be effaced from the records and names and events must never be spoken of or written again. If people know history they are less submissive to the Power that Is. The Koran or the Manifesto and their attendant writings are all that anyone should know.

Bowling Green is a state university. If somehow their funding were cut by 15% in the next budget perhaps the people there will understand that there is price for everything.

The much-maligned black comedian Stepin Fetchit, a star in the 1930s, told me in 1970 that “Hollywood was more segregated than Georgia under the skin,” and things have not gotten much better in Hollywood or, indeed, in our country at large, where our current president indulges white supremacist ideology.

"Indulges white supremacist ideology" - "Indulges"? What does that even mean? The writer doesn't include a quote or policy or anything to back up his contention. He just slanders with the intentionally vague verb "indulges" since it could encompass even an unspoken white supremacist thought - unconfirmed but also impossible to disprove.

By all accounts Lillian Gish was a wonderful, humane, caring person. She had such a long, active film career, never really retired. She is rightly considered among the greatest American movie actresses.

"Birth of a Nation" is considered a great film, also the birth of modern movies. D.W. Griffith went to painstaking efforts to document everything is that film as true, and as an accurate depiction of the times. If people don't like the story, then they have a problem with the truth.

Lillian Gish

I’m sure this will be good for the donor and development office.

Wow, all this over a movie described by then President Woodrow Wilson as “like writing history with lightning”.

She was an actress. She needed a gig.
She died before most of these cretins were even born.

Complete and utter disgrace if true. She was a very great actress who appeared in DW Griffith movies. His movies are celebrated not because they had “racist themes” but because he created the language of cinema. It is his innovations that are celebrated not his negative portrayal of, say, Thaddeus Stevens. We used to know that but we are too stupid to know that now.

She appeared in endless classics from Broken Blossoms and Intolerance to The Wind and Night of the Hunter. I saw her one woman show on Griffith at Rutgers University when students had brains. I met her twice - once at the New York Museum of Broadcasting. A great lady, a kind lady.

I’m waiting for Gone With the Wind to be pulled from bookshelves and the movie burned.

This happened in February according to Wikipedia.

And when will West Virginia purge itself of ALL reference to Senator Robert KKK Byrd ?

Robert C. Byrd: Child of the Appalachian Coalfields, Byrd recalled how his ability to quickly recruit 150 of his friends to the group impressed a top Klan official who told him, “You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation.” Byrd later recalled, "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities!”

Byrd led the growing chapter and was eventually elected Exalted Cyclops of the local Klan unit.

In a 1944 letter to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo, Byrd wrote, “I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”

As late as 1946, Byrd wrote to the Klan’s Grand Wizard stating, “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation.”

The party of Jim Crow, KKK, school segregation, and abortuaries in Negro neighborhoods should be, but aren't, ashamed of themselves. Filthy hypocrites.

I saw the previews for "Night of the Hunter" when it was first released in 1955 and found the film so creepy that I vowed I would never see it - and I didn't until about five years ago when it came on TV one night and, feeling particularly brave, I decided to watch - by the end of the opening credits and Lillian Gish's brief monologue floating softly in space surrounded by her children, I was hooked - she was marvelous throughout (as in this closing They abide and they endure) - and the movie itself is a magical one of a kind fairy tale for adults - people who allow their ideological needs to get in the way of appreciating and enjoying good culture as this scold does deserve to be as miserable as they seem.....
