In reply to Patrick.

Do you even know the history of the original birth of a nation? The one made in the 1930's with black-faced actors. That movie is the reason the KKK started the burning cross rituals. It was a movie devoted to racists and made fun of killing blacks.

Fast forward to today, we are remaking it, and telling our story as black Kings and Queens in this country. They didn't want their story to become ours.

It's really not that hard to understand why "The Help" an image of Mammy (historically controlled the black slaves and catered to Whites) was glorified and this movie was not.

Educate yourselves.
