Official Discussion: BlacKkKlansman [SPOILERS]

You simply didn't get it. The mainstream American and to a lesser degree the western right im the world is literally spewing the exact same rhetoric David Duke is, "white culture" is not being respected, "white heritage" is not being respected, racism exists(not against people of color) but against white people, jews/academics are trying to destroy western civilization, etc. I literally heard every single one of those talking points this very morning on mainstream conservative talk radio on Glenn Beck and it the same dumbshit being promoted by other bigoted mainstream right wing propagandists like Jordan Peterson(the modern popularizer of white supremacist ideology).

The white supremacists ranged from all types, you are just looking for reasons to hate it because you hate it's message. The film depicted white supremacists as people who worked at NORAD(Google what that is), leader of local group with glasses was articulate and not crazy, David Duke was painted as a non thuggish racist trying to legitimize the clan so he can run for political office, etc. The same goes for the blacks depicted in the film, the main girl referred to cops as pigs, refused to love the cop because he was a cop, had a black speaker that blacks should kill cops because they kill blacks on the streets in America, etc.

You are making up baseless criticisms of it because you disliked its message. Right wing people always suck at film criticism in general, and you are clearly not an exception. Stop lying to yourself.

A very specific dialog that was anything but two dimensional was taking place, you simply didn't get it.
