It portrayed negative stereotypes against blacks and promoted the KKK as a noble guardian of white society. You can find copies on the Web or elsewhere and see for yourself.

it's based on an old book called the "the clansmen" which portrays the kkk as a heroic group protecting the innocent and we all know the klan is not good or heroic, and of course the way african americans are portrayed was wrong even back then, griffith did try to make amends later on with his movie"broken blossoms" which a chinese man tries to help a poor abused english girl
