that's because Birth of a Nation needs to be seen as a propaganda piece, the KKK was never a nice organization and they knew it so they invented films like Birth of a Nation to try and distract the public from the lynching and burning of minorities alive.. much as every fascist society's ruling elite made similar films that showed the tyrants as lovable father figures when in reality they starved and/or tortured their own people to death.

cults do the same, as do crazy "PC" groups and so on.. propaganda should never be taken as stories, it should rather than taken as attempts to disguise wrongdoings and/or brainwash certain people in a society into accepting blatantly criminal behavior.
