The real reason I want to meet D.W. Griffith

I recently viewed The Birth of a Nation, a technically innovative film glorifying the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which almost single-handedly sparked the formation of the modern KKK (there were 4-5 million members in the early 1920s, a few years after the movie came out).

If, through some twist in time, I might happen to meet D.W. Griffith, I’d really just like to punch the racist ass in the face. hard.
