You really can’t filter out the racism of the movie, it’s baked in. Besides, no matter if it invented or helped establish some filmmaking techniques, you can still find hundreds of films that do them better. That’s why film schools are phasing Birth of a Nation out.

And racism isn’t a “political statement”. There is political elements to white nationalism/white supremacy, and political sides that are racist whether they acknowledge it or not. But this film and the KKK are racist in the way that’s most true to the definition of the word, and racism is prejudice based on hatred and willful ignorance, not politics. It’s a “every rectangle is a square, not every square is a rectangle” situation, in that just because some racism is politically motivated, it doesn’t mean all racism is, or that every racist who thinks black people are lesser than white people has been influenced by political stances into feeling this way. Some people are just hateful bigots.
