Birth of a Nation

A 92-year old, 190-minute silent film pilloried by incredibly self-congratulatory, thick white American teenagers who think that in doing so, they are contributing as much to the advancement of racial causes than Martin Luther King ever did in a lifetime.

Incredibly Thick White American Teenager: "The entire 190 minutes of The Birth of a Nation is the most vile piece of sick racist crap ever, because of a handful of scenes that represent ideas that with the benefit of hindsight, we are now able to see were regrettably misguided"

Rational Person: "But it was an unprecedented box-office phenomenon. It could be very probable that your direct ancestors were amongst those who paid to see it, thereby contributing to its popularity"

Incredibly Thick White American Teenager: "Dude you are such a racist fag douchebag"
