One of the things that I still have a hard time trying to understand is racism. I ask myself many times why people can’t get along with each other and put aside their differences for once and just to treat everyone equal. I also think about how unrealistic it is to ask for something so simple because people will always judge no matter how many movements or speeches you make, or how much you try to stop it because people stick to their beliefs and are ignorant to change even if it is for good.…

Starting after the civil war and continuing straight through the civil rights, the Klu Klux Klan has been a group that has spread a message of fascism and hate.

Most of the critics and commentators of the famous picture film The Birth of a Nation had a lot to say about it, and for the most part I would say that they all agreed in the fact that the film was the most extraordinary achievement of the cinema. Such an influential and controversial film had everyone speculating about it. Many argued that he film identified Negroes as an unbridled, bestial, horrible race and that the film itself brought all different kinds of human emotions before people’s…
