A blast from the racist past

This is an ad that ran in the Jackson newspaper over 100 years ago. Racist as hell. It's forerunner play, The Clansman, ran multiple times in Jackson as well.

I bet downtown Jackson was safe when this paper came out.

Probably safer for everyone overall.

Yes, we already know that Democrats have always been racist. Except back then they were called Dixiecrats.

When that movie came out, it was a really big deal. Motion pictures up to that time were basically stage plays with a camera rolling on them.
Birth of a Nation invented what we call cinematography today, large battle scenes, all kinds of crazy shite for the time that we just expect in movies today.
And really, it's only the end that is racist.

So many stereotypes were born from that movie.

The Birth of a Nation is a landmark of film history, lauded for its technical virtuosity. It was the first non-serial American 12-reel film ever made. Its plot, part fiction and part history, chronicles the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth and the relationship of two families in the Civil War and Reconstruction eras over the course of several years—the pro-Union (Northern) Stonemans and the pro-Confederacy (Southern) Camerons. It was originally shown in two parts separated by an intermission, and it was the first American-made film to have a musical score for an orchestra. It helped to pioneer closeups and fadeouts, and it includes a carefully staged battle sequence with hundreds of extras made to look like thousands. It came with a 13-page Souvenir Program. It was the first motion picture to be screened inside the White House, viewed there by President Woodrow Wilson, his family, and members of his cabinet.
Ahhh, old Woodrow

Now we currently have medical schools being racist against whites and Asians.

They were people of their time. I wish people would stop applying today's word when reading/discussing history. I don't think being people of your time makes someone a bad person.
There were things acceptable in the 90s that are not acceptable today. Does it mean people are bad for doing those things and it just so happens today its not acceptable?
