More truth than not!

Firstly, I'd like to preface the following review with my honest opinion, than my honest evaluation: Any reference to accept an anti-black, Hispanic or Caucasian attitude would be totally wrong.
With that said, any idiot from the world (mostly, the northern Yankee) would not accept, understand or take the word of one who almost lived the life, but certainly lived within the Southern boundary below the Mason-Dixon line. It cannot be done, never having walked in the shoes of those who have.
Regarding reference to blacks: There are some respectable black people who deserve recognition for living respectable lives after the civil war. That's why I call them respectable blacks and never negative, insulting terms or remarks. They deserve my praise.
In the movie, exaggeration is not only privy to the Negroes within the movie, because Caucasians are also exaggerated in their actions and the reasons for their retaliation.
In America, post-civil war lives were raped in more than one manner; that being physically, mentally, and economically by NORTHERN and Westerners who wanted Southerners to receive punitive actions for wanting sovernty and states rights within their boundaries. Slavey was a small part of it, being there were only a small portion of people who owned plantations and slaves. Read the facts.
Everyone knows that if you punish the perpetrator of actions deemed by society (northern) as either illegal or immoral, there will be the physicals principle of retaliation: for any one action, there is a reaction. Therefore, it's seen in the penal system, the society of "socialists" who wish everyone to be "owned by the government" in another form of slavery--that being society is minimized into an ownership role by any socialist/communist-based government wanting to rule a life and steal his/her liberty.
That's what happened to the South before, during and especially post-civil war days of "raping the land, the people and their states rights". Placing instead, puppets to rule the punished, confiscate all that was owned and give it to others less deserving (sound familiar to today's government under Obama and the socialists in office?). It's called the "Robbing Hood phenomena". Take from everyone else to "distribute the wealth" (the socialist system).
The KKK was formed to protect their lives,their property, their trampled states rights, their sovereign states government, their loved ones and their fortunes. It's the reaction to a that despicable action deemed forced upon the southerners who were now suppressed/oppressed post civil-war. Today, it would be black and Hispanic gangs who do the same in gangs that the government feel would "kill themselves" in their action (nullification). What??? This movie, yes, was an exaggeration as any movie I've seen these past 50 years. Hollywood has that effect in their movies to influence others in a negative light rather than better moral ones that don't need the raping, the killing, the torturing, and in effect--helps guide the mindless into following into a lifestyle which eliminates God, goodness, and in a positive light. Because of that, crime is enhanced to be glorified while goodness is condemned as corny or out of today's reality. Those who view the trash have embraced the lifestyle of immorality, homicide, sex, drugs, etc. as the right thing to do because it feels good.
This movie, is straight on. (not that some of the content was righteous, as anything which hurts a life (emotionally, physically or economically) forcibly is despicable. Plain and simple.
Again, walk the shoes, because once slavery was condemned, that should have been the end, but it wasn't just slavery that was the issue to begin the discussion, because the whip was used against the Caucasian race for the past 150 years, now. The new slaves and oppressed have lighter skin if anyone lives in the real world and see the injustices where they really lay. The truth SHALL set anyone free.
The movie shows life during the times.
