Most Racist Movies of All Time

The Top Ten
1 The Birth of a Nation

Waaay more racist than Song of the South. It glorifies the KKK! I'm assuming people who voted for Song of the South either never saw it (and voted due to its banned status) or never saw/heard of The Birth of a Nation.

This is an easy one. This movie is infamous for how racist it is. I'll admit I haven't seen Song of the South, but I doubt it can be more racist than The Birth of a Nation. It features the Klan as the heroes, for goodness' sake!

This is 10 times more racist than Song of the South. There is a difference between being happy about slavery as a Black man than as a white KKK soldier!

2 Song of the South

Sad movie, though it looks pretty happy.

The South already has really bad stereotypes.

Ugh... The stereotypes are so offensive.

3 Goodbye Uncle Tom
4 Gone With the Wind

The racist message is so subtle that one has to look very carefully to notice, unless, of course, you are Black.

This movie was considered one of Hollywood's finest until HBO Max decided to pull it for a month.

5 The Mask of Fu Manchu
6 Django Unchained

This film's entire message is anti-racist. Of course, some of the characters themselves are highly racist, but that's solely to criticize their mindset. Directors don't always speak through all of their characters.

7 Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World

According to another list, Pocahontas has to apply flour to get approved by the white men. Pocahontas II is a BIG "Outdated Cultural Depictions" movie, even by 1998 standards.

The racism in this shocked me, and I'm Caucasian, for goodness' sake!

8 Schindler's List
9 Triumph of the Will

"Triumph of the Will" is a tricky movie for cinephiles. It is historically important, having pioneered countless filming techniques and aesthetics that were copied in other great movies, including but not limited to Ben Hur, Star Wars, The Lion King, and Gladiator. It needs to be appreciated for that.

At the same time, its sole purpose is glorifying the Nazi Party. It conveys a feeling of unity, implying that together as one nation, they are a strong, powerful force that will destroy every obstacle. The most dangerous aspect is that it does a horrifyingly good job of making the viewer feel part of it. This is how so many Germans and Austrians became Nazis - they wanted to be part of something big, especially Austria, which, after WWI, was reduced from a large empire to a small, irrelevant country. The Nazis promised that to them, which in the following years led to the biggest and cruelest genocide in the world.

"Triumph of the Will" is a cinematic masterpiece, but a horribly dangerous one, as it is effectively manipulative. Is it racist? Believe it or not, not really. Although its general message is "WE are great and WE can't be stopped," it surprisingly never mentions the others. This is also the reason why, unlike other Nazi propaganda movies, "Triumph of the Will" is not banned in modern-day Germany. What resulted from the conveyed mindset of the film is the strongest form of racism ever found on Earth. But the movie itself is more dangerous and questionable rather than racist. "The Eternal Jew" - now that's disgustingly racist.

10 White Chicks

Even many haters mocked Iggy Azalea's appearance by saying she looks like the character from that movie.

Revenge on White people for being so racist toward Black people!

The Contenders
11 The Eternal Jew
12 Mississippi Burning

No wonder Mississippi got ranked number one for being the most racist state in America.

13 Get Out
14 Soul Man (1986)

Blackface is racist. If you look at videos on YouTube about blackface in history, you would understand why it's racist. It has to do with the portrayal of Black people during slavery. Plus, don't accuse others of being racist.

Black stereotypes. What's even weirder is when true Black entertainment uses very dumb, overused Black stereotypes.

The way White people are portraying Black people through stereotypes is racist!

15 The Littlest Rebel (1935)

The Littlest Rebel starring Shirley Temple was by far the most racist movie. It continues to affect me to this day. The emotions I felt as an African American were horrible.

16 The Emoji Movie

Why are 99% of the emojis yellow? This is literally the worst, most racist Sony movie ever.

They think Black people are poop, which is very racist.

The main character is always naked, and they call the Black thing poop. That's racist.

17 Roots
18 The Passion of the Christ
19 The Black Gestapo
20 Welcome Home Brother Charles
21 Amistad
22 Black Panther

Ironically, it's praised for being anti-racist, even though that's completely false.

23 Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs

I saw a scene from this movie, and I was shocked to see just how offensive and racist it was. Even the title sounds racist. What were the makers thinking?

I saw one of the scenes, and it was shockingly racist.
