"This is KKK propaganda people like to pretend is a fantastic part of cinematic film history. We had to watch clips for my Cultural Diversity class in college to study racist ideology. I cannot believe the number of people rating this highly just because they think it was great filmmaking even though they disagree with the message. I am disgusted and shocked. Filmmaking is storytelling, and if the message of the story is rotten, the movie is garbage."
