In 1915 Hollywood produced #BirthofaNation, a B&W silent film that glorified the Confederacy; it inspired a new assault on blackness & the preservation of white racial purity. The KKK was reborn, using the film in recruitment. A multiracial democracy was denigrated. #PresWilsonapprovedthefilm.

#ADOE my age should class action sue for induced trauma. We had to watch #BirthofaNation IN SCHOOL EVERY FUCKING YEAR
“DW Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation…perfected classical Hollywood technique in service of white supremacist fantasy staging the Ku Klux Klan as heroic defenders of southern order.”

#BirthOfANation presents the #KuKluxKlan as a heroic force necessary to preserve American values and a #WhiteSupremacist social order.
By glorifying the #KKK, it helped lead to its resurgence.

Feb 8: #BirthOfANation Released
Facts: Based on Thomas Dixon's The Clansman, Birth of a Nation popularized many anti-Black stereotypes by portraying Black people (many of whom played by white actors in blackface) as unintelligent & sexually aggressive toward white women.

#Americanism was simply European fascism 150 years early. #whitesupremacy worldwide was greatly inspired by the 1915 film #BirthofaNation which #WoodrowWilson played at the White (Supremacy) House. This was clear to Europeans, inspiring #Kahanite #Zionism, #Banderite #Nazism & other fascist ills.

An excerpt from the 2021 article titled "California's Early Battle with Birtherism" reads: "A Near Stillbirth at the Hands of the NAACP: The world premiere of Birth of a Nation almost didn’t happen. Only a court injunction allowed it to proceed. That’s because the L.A. City Council banned the film as racist. The opposition was spearheaded by the newly formed L.A. chapter of the NAACP, which first met in the home of John and Vada Somerville. John Somerville was the first Black graduate of USC’s dental school, finishing at the top of his class. His wife Vada was also a USC dental school alumna and a practicing dentist. The Somervilles were allied with E. Burton Ceruti, a young Black attorney, who recognized the need to organize against “problems and grievances” that demanded 'attention and action . . . on behalf of the race.'"
Cover of the California Supreme Court Historical Society's journal (2021) featuring the article "California's Early Battle with 'Birtherism.'"
D.W. Griffith's film "The #BirthofaNation" premiered as "The Clansman" at Clune's Auditorium on Feb 8, 1915. The NAACP's Los Angeles branch led fight to ban the racist film. LA City Council stopped afternoon showing but court allowed film to premiere that night & after. www.cschs.org/wp-content/u...

That stolen obelisk needs two arms, one holding a noose one holding a burning cross, and two eye holes painted on in the peak. It's the #TallKlansman celebrating the #BirthOfANation

The Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffith, 1915)
In the film, the demand for equality is framed as a threat. Griffith depicts Black citizens calling for rights and land as chaos and disorder, turning multiracial democracy into the villain.

The Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffith, 1915)
The film makes it painfully clear who it believes the real victims of Reconstruction were.
This isn’t subtext. It’s the text.
A century later, this lost-cause fantasy still echoes.

Did America invent fascism?
In this episode of the Fascism on Film Podcast, we tear into D.W. Griffith's white supremacist propaganda film, 'The Birth of a Nation' from 1915, and put it to the #UmbertoEco fascism test. Does it check every box?

The Birth of a Nation (1915)
A tech marvel. A moral catastrophe.
- Heroized the KKK & Portrayed Black men as threats
- Called Reconstruction a nightmare & Sparked Klan revival nationwide
Even Woodrow Wilson praised it.
It’s the film that rebranded terrorism as patriotism.

Yesterday I posted the 27 grievances from the Declaration of Independence. Didn’t take long for someone to think I was talking about T. and responded with an argument defending ICE. Makes you wonder. #history #declarationofindependence #birthofanation

"It is a thought-provoking drama, as effectively so as you'd expect from Leland, helped mightily by an early performance from Jim Broadbent."
My ★★★½ review of #BirthOfANation
