...acclaim of Griffith's masterwork made his virulent, derisive depiction of blacks all the more toxic - indeed, potentially epidemic. This was not simply a racist film; it was one whose brilliant storytelling technique lent plausibility and poignancy to images of crude Negroes in the Reconstruction Senate, and of a black man pursuing a white woman until, to save her virginity, she throws herself off a cliff. Viewers could believe that what they saw was not only historically but emotionally true. "Birth" not only taught moviegoers how to react to film narrative but what to think about blacks...

Thus, Chirac’s recent landslide victory over Le Pen comes as little hope for ameliorating the very factors that brought a racist a stone’s throw away from the threshold of power: the hate and intolerance that festers like a cancer throughout Europe and the pressing social and economic problems that plague France’s African and Arab population...
