This is just meandering junk, is this the latest instalment in Virtue Signalling? B grade magazines just put Black <random word> Matter and they get advertising $ and upvotes? The Birth of a Nation is related to the killing of George Floyd because a $2,000,000+ (present day $) movie used a camera and random people on the street used a camera? If you bothered to look specifically at The Birth of a Nation and movies you would see movies continually move civil rights in the correct direction, outliers like The Birth of a Nation have little effect overall. That for instance might be an interesting discussion.

"... outliers like The Birth of a Nation have little effect overall." Are you serious? Please educate yourself. Start here: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/02/08/383279630/100-years-later-whats-the-legacy-of-birth-of-a-nation https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/02/08/383279630... Also, hilarious that you consider Scientific American, a 174-year old publication that's published Francis Crick and Albert Einstein, among so many other distinguished scientists, a "B Grade" magazine.
