FriesIt wasn't a 'point' as much as an observation of a subsect of online film fandom, I was describing a kind of film fan, that was all, these people are out there whether you 'trust' them or not, there is no wider point to my observation beyond that it's weird how many silent fans are like that, not the majority, but it's a classifiable type.
I do agree that Griffith's politics are unclassifiable to the extent he could be basically described as apolitical, he was basically a free speech absolutist at the very least. I don't think you can describe him as anti-racist however, regardless of the surface-level obvious factors like BoaN being a film in which the Ku Klux Klan are the good guys, the depiction of the mixed-race characters shows a viewpoint that black ancestry predisposes people to carry out violent and sexual assaults
Regardless of how genuinely moving his pro-tolerance approach was in his next film, none of it does anything to apologise for his prior depiction of black people as subhuman. You surely must know that he didn't mean the film as a counter to the intolerance depicted in BoaN, but a counter to the intolerance he felt had been levelled at him by black organisations and allies in response to the film. Griffith wanted to counter what he saw as a prevailing Northern narrative of the Civil War, and felt the Southern side of the story had been suppressed following the Northern victory. Though the interracial romance depicted in Broken Blossoms does show racial tolerance, describing Griffith as anti-racist is profoundly inaccurate. Despite the many contradictions of his work, one of the only constants is anti-black racism, people often cite A Rose of Kentucky as an earlier movie of his where the Klan are the bad guys, but the hooded organisation depicted there were a different one set up in response to tobacco regulation. I'm tired of seeing people act like somehow BoaN didn't reflect his views but Intolerance did, he repeatedly said that he considered BoaN to be a fundamentally accurate account of how he saw the Civil War and reconstruction eras, I don't think he intended for his film to inspire the resurrection of the Klan, but he was obviously racist.
I don't trust whatever from online film community that are in state of psychosis if even. I truly despise both what I mentioned. "Cringeworthy" in fact. I do let people pride in their "cinematic journey" to find interesting films out there and how the silent era influenced the rest of cinema history as we know it.
Then, onto Intolerance. It's really a true tale of dark side of human nature. How we can perceive or treat another human being. Philosophical perhaps. History tells us that way. Griffith knew what he can play with through cinematic lens. Many directors such as Chaplin and Kubrick praised Griffith as a "cautionary tale". Much as BoaN is more of on writer's perspective, not the director. Intolerance is the director's perspective and his own worldview from the present past and history from there on. Abraham Lincoln is another antithesis of his latter work, but more better in support of the Great Emancipator. Armond White's criticism is acceptable in my opinion.
