It was criticized for portraying the Ku Klux Klan as a saviour for whites. It depicted negro males as crazed renegades and always after the white woman. In the movie, the Klan successfully disenfranchise black voters. Because of the film's racist content, riots broke out and some cities did not want to show the movie. See below for links.
