Liberals don't llike it anymore. They blame the movie for the rise of the KKK, for accurately depicting, well documented atrocities committed by African Americans during and after the Civil War. Segregation and the Jim Crow laws were in response to the atrocities committed by many blacks. Unfairly, Segregation and the Jim Crow laws were enforced against decent black folk too. It was easier and safer to discriminate against all blacks than to just go after the many bad ones, as they should of rightly done.
Keith Do they? When was the last time a prominent Democrat or liberal talking head openly denounce Wilson or the KKK? The actual KKK not the people they accused of being in the KKK. Every other building in West Virginia seemingly is named after a prominent KkK member.

I have watched the first half. I will watch the second half later. So far it just seems like a corny old movie with a bunch of white people in blackface,and some not. The historical perspective so far(Like the assasination of Lincoln by Booth) is touched on but a bit fluffy.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Carl, have you watched it? It shows the bad black people behaving better than they did in tens of thousands of real videos from the last few years, when they did literally billions of dollars in damage to our country. The movie is historically accurate, except that it actually toned down most of the worse behavior. It shows very decent black people too.
If slaves/former slaves in the south acted like BLM today they would of been shot, lynched or beaten so badly that they'd wish they'd been shot.

What I want to know is….who went for the doctor for the birth?
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!
