As a white woman I think it's my right -- no, my DUTY -- to whine endlessly about the fact my great-grandmothers were denied the vote, college educations, and that {gasp!} careers outside the home were rare.
I choose to be bitter.
With the help of liberals in academia and the media, I'll keep telling myself that we females continue to be powerless, 2nd class citizens while ignoring the fact that we're now CEOs, elected to Congress, and can even become viable presidential candidates.
Yep, I'm going to make sure those embers of injustice from long ago are constantly stoked to ignite anger in the next generation of women who will find their identity in victim-hood instead of self-reliance. [/racial analogy]
And the dead shall be raised incorruptible,and we shall be changed.~1 Corinthians 15:52

I personally believe that BIRTH OF A NATION should be shown so that audiences of today can see for themselves what the general attitude of white Americans toward black Americans was at the time.
Actually, BIRTH OF A NATION was controversial
even back in 1915! It was not shown in several parts of the country. NAACP called out on it. Rioting even broke out in major cities where it was playing. It was the first movie to play in the White House, but as it was discovered later, Woodrow Wilson actually dismissed it, calling it "an unfortunate product".
