HW 3/31

I assume she was screwing around with a black man, and in that time, a white woman wanting to screw around with a black man was equally as frowned upon as a black man wanting to screw around with a white woman. He probably wanted to bash her head in to protect her from what serious beating she was about to get form the KKK.

Morton stated in one of his scientific studies that the mix of whites and blacks cause infertile offspring and the fertile offspring from the two mixed races would evolve other species to be inferior to other races.

Yeah, this last scene where people are rejoicing and praising Jesus is a little strange. But, I think what Griffith is illuminating in this scene is that white supremacy is better off. There are no wars, no arguments, no predator blacks walking through the streets, etc. And if white supremacy were to be the law, then this would help the town consist of a society that is much more civil.
