Review: Spike Lee’s ‘BlacKkKlansman’ Journeys Into White America’s Heart of Darkness
BlacKkKlansman — NYT Critic’s Pick
Directed by Spike Lee
Reviewed by A.O. Scott
Aug. 9, 2018In the middle of “BlacKkKlansman,” Spike Lee’s new joint — his best nondocumentary feature in more than a decade and one of his greatest …
A.O. eventually sums up the message he wants his fellow white people to take home:
Maybe not everyone who is white is a racist, but racism is what makes us white.
Personally, I had always been under the impression that it was your mom and dad who made you white. But, thanks for clearing that up for us, A.O.!
Here are pictures of A.O. Scott’s parents, both of them professors, both of them white.
Here’s a picture of their son, A.O. Scott, a professorial movie reviewer and, perhaps unsurprisingly, also a white.
Did these white professors make A.O. white through some complex postmodern process by their being racist?
Or did they make their son white the old-fashioned way?
“Us”
Speak for yourself. His is a demonstration of self-abnegation I don’t understand.
Progtardism really is the last refuge of old-fashioned White Supremacism.
I have a more fundamental problem with Mr. (?) Scott's formulation. It doesn't make any god-damned sense.
The historic solution is to realize this is heresy and to treat it accordingly.
“Ebony midget Spike Lee” – Jim Goad.
In other words, you are not white unless you are racist. This is a great message to promote in the media. What could possibly go wrong?
“More of everything?”

I thought Yakub the CETA scientist made us white.

Just another case of acute debilitating Leukophobia.
Leukophobia (from Greek leuko, “white”) is the pathological fear of or aversion to the color white or anything that is white colored.
This specific fear can go beyond objects that possess a white color and extend to people with white colored skin.
Leukophobia often takes the form of a fixation on pale skin. Those with the phobia may make implausible assumptions such as paleness necessarily representing ill health or a ghost. In other cases, Leukophobia is directed more towards the symbolic meaning of whiteness.
People suffering with this phobia can grow very distraught. In some, Leukophobia causes high levels of fear, anxiety and depression which they may experience with varying intensity.
For those in whom the phobia causes symptoms, so severe that it disrupts life and its normal functioning, seeking Leukophobia treatment becomes necessary.

Aw go easy on him, guys. He can’t help himself: he’s Jewish.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the “hello, fellow white people” shit from our Jewish friends has gotten a lot more blatant recently. See this (and the replies to it) for a particularly egregious example:
I have a feeling this won’t end well.
I was surprised to learn he isn’t a homo, but he is the grandnephew of Eli Wallach.
That’s right– the guy who portrayed an evil Mexican in the cultural appropriation of a Japanese story.

It is status signaling. “All of us are terrible, but I am better then the rest of you for recognizing it”. It also helps that people who are having their skulls beaten in by minorities don’t say such things, so it also signals being a member of the elite.
The historic solution is to realize this is heresy and to treat it accordingly.
Want to see something truly disgusting? This fawning, ass-kissing, reverential suck-up by Jimmy Fallon to Spike Lee the other night, on Lee’s new movie. (Talk about the numinous negro.) To get to full impact of the disgust it would be good to have viewed the previous 20 minutes of Fallon’s show where he continuously, hysterically mocks our great President, Donald Trump. Tools. Tools.

Spike Lee's home on Martha's Vineyard is on the 18th Hole of the golf course where Obama plays. On the day of the Charlottesville riots, Spike claims he ran on to the course to inform Obama of what happened in Virginia.

The only criticism these bootlickers offer is that the movie isn't anti-White enough: akin to a political meeting under a dictator, where the courtesans assure the ruler that he has been too kind; the purges haven't gone far enough; more oppression is called for.
third-tier artists like Spike Lee should be ignored.
Entertainers, not artists.
The Heart of Whiteness gives me a great idea for a remake of Apocalypse Now in the vein of the Honeymooners and Taxi remakes.
Spike Lee would direct the harrowing first person account of a rubber boat full of Africans who journey across the Straits of Gibraltar on a top secret mission to secure European welfare and white pussy.
It would be titled Gibzmedat Now
…the horror…
Maybe not everyone who is white is a racist, but racism is what makes us white.
Could someone respectable tear into this idea and call it out as wrong? Of course not, if that person was White. There can be no back and forth on such things. There’s only one party striking poses and everyone else remaining silent. In other words, mainstream cultural life is dead. Good riddance to it.
“racism is what makes us white”
Trump today denounced “all types of racism” so I guess he is the total opposite of white… our first black President!
A.O. Scott is not a very manly man. He looks like he has to beg for sex.
If Spike Lee’s latest diahrretic spray breaks even at the box office I’ll be surprised.
Gotta love the made up Jewish character for the movie too. Wonder if that was Spike’s idea or the studio’s? Because there are so many Jewish cops on the Colorado Springs police force…
Just like in Hidden Figures, when they transformed a Catholic Polish-American scientist into a Jewish guy with relatives who were victims of the Holocaust. And of course he is the only white character initially nice to the black women.

It just occurred to me that if the Jews are white, then any hostility we direct towards them can’t be anti-Semitic in nature. It’s just whites hating other whites, which is totally desirable according to their own playbook.
According to this new map, only three states are actually American.
And to say the least, I have my doubts about Florida.
It will. Blackkklansman is this year’s annual black-themed-movie-in-August, they generally do well at the box office.
Well at least the NYT continues to be true to its Leukophobia theme (see CCZ post), even with the Sarah Jeong controversy.

So I went to this A.O. Scott’s wiki page and apparently he really is a “fellow white.” Why is it that 90+% these garbage anti-white pieces come from “fellow whites?”
Wow, that is an incredible thing for anyone, let alone a white person to say. Usually the kind of people who comfortably say things like that are Ashkenazi.
Oh…

Don’t get me started on Hidden Figures. This Fake History is the very definition of intellectually dishonest. To attribute the work of Jack Crenshaw, a brilliant white computer scientist with a heavily documented track record of achievement in orbital mechanics, to a complete non-entity NASA employee of dubious title and accomplishment using only a slide ruler is beyond stupid. That Obama actually thought it fitting to give a Presidential Medal of Freedom to a nonentity government employee is a perfect tribute to black megalomania. I’m surprised Hollywood didn’t allow him to award all the Oscars and give out all the NCAA basketball trophies while he was president. Clearly another example of white racism.
Taking a few elements of history then wrapping a completely made-up story with a morality tale or a heroism ("america goes it alone") arc around to capture some particular market segment, if need be the baizuo, is what Hollywood does.
Laughable shit has been with us forever.

It didn’t. It’s headed towards a $9 million opening weekend in 1500 theatres. That’s less than a third of Django Unchained and less than half of The Butler and Hidden Figures. I think the KKK aspect turns people off. Maybe it feels too dated?

“Maybe not everyone who is white is a racist, but racism is what makes us white”
Sometimes I wish they would explain what a racist is. I prefer a multiple choice type test.

Globalism is about black-worship, Jew-worship, and homo-worship.
We can see how someone like Jeong wants to be worshiped too. Her ilk may have realized that those who are worshiped generally attack whitey, whitey, whitey. Did she find the magic spell, the Charm of Making? Or Charm of Taking. I guess hate hoaxes are the Charm of Faking.
It’s not wrong, it’s simply logically incoherent, poetic-sounding b.s., like you’d expect from a Times reviewer. It doesn’t actually mean anything beyond being a string of words with negative connotations.
Huh, I just saw that. Maybe the movie just had bad timing, coming on the heels of the Jeong debacle.

You are wrong.
Listen, just because Spike Lee is a radical black with stupid politics doesn’t mean we can’t admit that he’s got some skills. Yes, he put out a lot of clunkers but he’s demonstrated he can do a solid movie every now and then. ‘Inside Man’ and ‘X’ were both good, and Summer of Sam wasn’t bad either if you can forget about the talking dog.
Stupid politics =/= bad art.

RE:BlacKkKlansman,
Apparently a lot is made of the Jewish background of Adam Driver’s character, that he needs to realize that Jews like him have “skin in the game” when it comes to fighting the Klan. I suppose that that makes this Spike’s third pro-Jewish film, after Inside Man (corrupt Swiss bankers who profited off Jewish suffering get theirs) and Miracle at St. Anna (heroic blacks fighting the Nazis in WW2). Is this enough to make Jewish Hollywood declare that all is forgiven for Mo’ Better Blues?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo%27_Better_Blues#Anti_Defamation_League_controversy
There's a lesson there.From what I've seen of Lee's movies, they are straw man and stereotype-fests. What was ever broken down? The message is that Blacks have permission to misbehave because they have been treated unfairly. In another time, the message was that if we treat Blacks better, they will reward us by becoming better citizens; that message has been dropped.
Wouldn’t that also mean that it makes Blacks Black? Better not tell Spike; if he ever learned that his very identity as a Black man was a product of racism….

I am surprised at West Virginia being German. I would have thought Scotch Irish or English.
Sadly this really isn’t going to end well.
This clip and the NYT review inspire the thought that the proper future envisioned will be Black people… and the Whites that worship them.
The only criticism these bootlickers offer is that the movie isn’t anti-White enough: akin to a political meeting under a dictator, where the courtesans assure the ruler that he has been too kind; the purges haven’t gone far enough; more oppression is called for.
Gotta give him props for that. Echoes of Al Sharpton, who, when pressed to apologize for one of his usual over-the-top statements, said that it does no good to apologize.
There’s a lesson there.

That was some very pathetic cucking by Fallon. It strikes me as something that will be looked back on in a very cringe-inducing fashion, for future normies.

Presumably, he’s talking about the Johnny Weissmuller films, which strikes me as a tad off. Tarzan spent most of his time fighting European bad guys in those films. Heck, he even went up against the Nazis:

But that’s not the point. Our president played the fool by not recognizing this flapdoodle for what it is. It would be like Richard Nixon giving the Congressional Medal of Honor to John Wayne for his role in the movie, The Green Berets. Or the Fields Prize committee giving a medal to Matt Damon for his portrayal of a math genius in Good Will Hunting.
Would that it would be so simple, but in truth intra-white hostility does not obey the symmetric property (if a = b, then b = a). Goodwhites hating on badwhites is correct and proper; badwhites hating on goodwhites is just, well, deplorable.
What is it with this “joint” stuff? It’s a movie. Spike Lee makes movies. Why do reviewers go along with this pretentious affectation?
Stop trying to make “leukophobia” happen. It’s not going to happen.

Spike is clearly a nutjob but there are many mentally ill, hate-filled people on this Earth, perhaps a disproportionately high number of them black people. The people we really need to be angry at are the anti-white fellow whites who fund, distribute and promote his films and then give him a microphone at French film festivals.
This video is great because it exemplifies the utter schizophrenia that is the basis of leftism. “We are all about love and peace, maaaaan, but if we disagree with you then you’re an evil motherf****r. Please clap.”
He was subjected to an immense amount of hatred for his choice to treat then-candidate Donald Trump in a friendly manner a couple years back, so he has committed his life to revving up the anti-Trump propaganda as much as he can.
