A president watched a movie in the White House.
That movie was a propaganda film for the Ku Klux Klan.
He loved it.
In this episode of Tea of the World, host Dylan (aka Mr. V) pulls back the curtain on Woodrow Wilson—often praised as a progressive icon—and reveals the whole, ugly truth. From segregating the federal government to championing The Birth of a Nation, Wilson didn’t just tolerate racism—he actively fueled it. And Hollywood helped him do it.
This isn’t just a film review. It’s a deep dive into how cinema became a weapon of white supremacy, with a president applauding in the front row.
