The KKK are too old lazy to be a threat

Hollywood sees the "right wing" as a danger but not the radical Islamists. There is no significant radical right wing in this country, and anyone with a quarter of a brain and any kind of internet connection knows it. The dangerous people on the far right are so small in number and have exactly zero power. None. Movies like this espouse the typical liberal slant that keeps pushing and pushing and pushing race relations back to pre-civil rights era...so much progress has been made, thanks to the courage of many, many men and women of color, primarily in the 1960's, and all too often these days issues get painted as being about race when it simply is not so.

I agree, it's kinda pathetic. At best, they needed an enemy and didn't wanted to antagonize a community (like the muslim one, for example...), which makes it political correctness at its finest ; at worst, it's pure propaganda.

It's not like this is anything new in Hollywood. Remember in The Sum of All Fears they changed the Muslim enemies from the book into Nazis. The same thing has actually been happening in regards to China, film producers these days are afraid to use Chinese bad guys because they think it would alienate a large movie-going audience.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I mean the movie itself judging from the trailer looks like a pretty ok watch. But I thought to myself... I haven't seen any major violence from the Alt-Right/Neo-Nazi/KKK group in a while. They just march and get beaten up by people on the Left. I feel a big white guilt vibe from this movie, and I'm not even white. I feel like this movie will try to divide us more than anything. I enjoyed American History X a lot. I was hoping this movie would be relatable to that one. Judging from first impressions though... I doubt it.

I would genuinely like to read more about these actual events also.

looks horrible


~I see a little silhouette of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.

I especially like how they got a British kid to shave his head and pretend to be an American Skin Head. If you're going to make an anti-American movie... get a Brit to play the part.

Don't get me wrong; There are Neo-Nazi in this country and elsewhere in the world. But with 90% or more of the murders coming from the Middle East, some Hollywood exec. decides THIS is the topic that is most important to be covered in a movie right now... I would laugh if it wasn't so sad.

Hollywood has their collective head up Obama's a$$... and Hillary's a$$, so far ...
And they gleefully hold $15,000 a plate fund-raisers while complaining about the "evil 1%" rich people... yoo hoo, Hollywood, that includes you!

So, let ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Nusra, PLO and the others continue to behead people, burn them alive, shoot-up night clubs and bomb marathons, restaurants, tourist buses, etc. Mean while, with their head in the sand, Hollywood is fighting the fight of a very few Neo-Nazi groups who haven't done anything significant is decades.


BTW, as you're responding to MY little message, be sure to call me some good names, like "anti-Semite"
Oh, did I mention... I'm Jewish, have been to Israel 3x and was Bar Mitzva at the Wall in 1975, between The 6-Day War and The Yom Kippur War.

So... What's NEXT?

Listen to them—the children of the night. What music they make!

The KKK was never a terrorist organisation, as it is understood today. There were many black supremacist groups that were terrorist groups, some of which are still active. Ironically Hollywood lionises these groups.
