Some will applaud the toppling of (in PC-speak) "White Supremacist" statutes, the renaming of streets and the banning of cultural 'historical' movies such as Woodrow Wilson's "terrible truth" as he named/ commented on the movie "Birth of a Nation" - a breakthrough 3-hour "historical" in 1915! - which can no longer be aired in "the land of the free, home of the brave". The cotton-wool brigade has taken over America, and perhaps the majority acquiesce in an unspoken submission to "assumed historical guilt" or some such rubbish. Although facts will undoubtedly support the "assumed historical guilt" perspective, I call it rubbish because the individual in a community has a duty to live his own life, and support his current community whilst being the greatest he or she they can be - this is primarily a duty to oneself, and there can be little but madness in the burial of, essentially a fervent attempt to deny, one's actual past! How can our grandchildren learn from the mistakes of our grandfathers when we erase our history from our shared collective consciousness? Logic (and facts!) of course never convinced the majority...

Now, the brilliant movie "Gone with the Wind" runs the risk of disappearing from all American screens. The Memphis precedent will work. And they will certainly never ever show one of the first US full-length films, "The Birth of a Nation," directed by David Griffith, who, by the way, is considered the father of American cinema. It was he who laid the foundations for sensible editing and even special effects. "Birth of a Nation." 1915. Three hours. The historical period the movie was set in was the Civil War in the US and the events immediately after. The film had unprecedented battle scenes for cinema of that time. The drama lay in a gripping account of a fratricidal war and the drama of the defeated where "the White South was crushed by the Black heel of the North." Without regard to rules of war and decency. The North unleashed Black brutality on the Southern Whites in the name of revenge for the past. How can this film be shown now, especially since the birth of the awful Ku Klux Klan is also realistically depicted in the movie as well? It emerged as a necessary organization for the self-defense of Whites. And, the cavalry charges while "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner is playing as the score. All of this is unacceptable now, so this picture will be permanently banned from American cinemas. All of this even though the US President, Woodrow Wilson, who was a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, but who was also considered an authoritative historian, called the film "Birth of a Nation" a "terrible truth." ...
