>Lotus Entertainment and Paperchase Films are teaming with financier and executive producer Marco Vicini to produce Superman vs. the KKK, a film adaptation of Rick Bowers’ 2012 YA nonfiction book.
>Bowers’ book (full title: Superman Versus The Ku Klux Klan: The True Story of How the Iconic Superhero Battled the Men of Hate) chronicled the creation of a real-life 1946 radio drama in which Superman took on a thinly-veiled version of the actual Klan. The book will be adapted for the screen by Katherine Lindberg.
>The team describes the movie plot as chronicling a former Klan member who goes undercover in 1946 Atlanta and works with the Anti-Defamation League and the producer of the Superman radio show. “Fighting the forces of evil with brain over brawn, artists taking down bullies and the power of a good piece of content, it’s a real case of truth being cooler than fiction,” said producer Marc Rosen.

Not implying anything, but Superman vs the FBI would be a lot more entertaining

Great posts.

fuck that space nigger, coming here illegally.
I hope Luther get elected and deports his ass.
It was in the days when the KKK was part of the Democrats party.
Later they decided to use the blacks as a pool for votes, and so the party defacto abolished the organization.
>>82185800
But anon, only 95% of Kryptonian immigrants are mass murdering psychopaths, would you really punish the vast number of innocent ones for their mistakes?
>>82185148
This is a fun story.
Basically, they revealed all of the KKK's secrets, practices and silly names to the public in the form of a radio show for kids where they were portrayed as pathetic loser villains. It was hard for people to take them seriously after that.
>>82186008
Cool.
When are we going to get some kinos portraying blacks as the useless pieces of shit they actually are?
The KKK is like 75% FBI agents at this point.
Don't even get why it's still memed about. They killed less nogs in 100 years across the nation than a Chicago summer
>>82186088
There are several, please review film and television history outside of your myopia.
>>82186008
When are we going to get a fun show exposing antifa?
>>82186096
>The KKK is like 75% FBI agents at this point.
This movie is about when they were at their prime, their membership and influence was booming, and according to historians it was this Superman radio show that stopped that expansion and made many members quit out of embarrassment.

>The 1860 Republican President declared war on his own countrymen to preserve federal authority over states rights
>The 1980s Republican President gladly would have pushed the button to nuke the planet if he thought it was only way to stop the Russians
>The 2016 Republican President has benefited greatly from Russians meddling in the free democratic process and regularly praises Russian leaders over his own countrymen
The political meanings of words and party ideologies change over time. The "Lol Democrats used to be racist!" shit is 0/10 non-argument garbage.
>>82186231
This. Fuck Russians and fuck states' rights.

Tip top kek
>>82186284
When do you think that the KKK was at its prime?
oh yes yet another race bait movie, must be the fifth this year alone
fuck wh*te ppl
>>82186231
You're right.
Let's focus on how much Democrats hate white people right now.
Look at Ruy Teixiera at the Center for American Progress. The central thesis of "The Emerging Democratic Majority" is that the key to electoral victory is to stomp whitey into irrelevance. Or Samantha Bee's televised proclamation of "White people have ruined America"
>>82185148
Jesus, Snyder.
>>82186387
In 1890
Although you can also see the bump caused by Griffith's "Birth of a Nation"
>>82185148
inb4 No Democratic Party allusions in the documentary but retcon it at they were actually Republicans all along :^)
>>82186519
Nice. Could you explain the methodology used to make that graph? I want to BTFO someone on another forum.
Why do people still pretend to like black people?
I mean, it's not just that they're the least literate, most violent and most difficult to help diaspora in the United States. They're also objectively the worst group in Brazil, and in Britain, and in South Africa, and in Sweden, and basically anywhere on the surface of the earth where more than 100 of them exist. A country's murder rate correlates almost entirely to how many black people live there, absent all other metrics.
That's not "white privilege" talking either, blacks have been incredibly disruptive to Hispanic, Arab and even some Asian communities as well.
>>82186387
Not after fucking WW2 is for damn sure
>>82186726
Why do people like dogs?
If you irrationally hate subordinate races you don't understand how things work or are a poor person with no power.
>The Klan did nothing wrong!
>But if they did it was because they were actually Democrats!
>And Democrats now are worse than the Klan who actually weren't that bad but were because it was Democrats!
Keep it up guys. The mods get 15 cents every time this retarded shit gets posted.
>>82185148
Pandering shit.
Birth of a Nation caused a huge revival in the membership of the KKK. Millions or so. The best way to help the KKK is to make films about them. This is just going to be a sort of Streisand Effect.
>>82186800
jesus christ how embarassing
>>82186907
Birth of a Nation portrayed the KKK as heroes though.
More importantly, this is based on a true story. A radio show portrayed the KKK as pathetic losers with silly names and stupid beliefs and that is exactly how people stared seeing them. Do you really think a movie about that would make people think they're cool?
Racists don't need the KKK anyway.
>>82186907
Lol dude you should actually read this story because the entire point is that they used the Superman show to explain to people what the Klan were and what they were doing and people becoming educated about the Klan's ideologies and their tactics played a huge role in their downfall.
>>82186993
>>82187029
True enough, I certainly understand that point. I'm not saying it would return to 1910s levels or anything, not in this day and age anyhow, but exposure is always going to be beneficial to an organisation, particularly with the current racial tensions there are.
In this day and age, it wouldn't surprise me if they ultimately benefited from it, particularly when the "alternate" is Bill Nye's ilk.
>>82187029
yea im sure some literal who show did it and not the fbi
The Third Klan might be historically one of the lamest hate groups of all time.
>Only murdered a small amount of people despite have a large following at one point
>Wore dopey ghost outfits that scared no one
>Just walked around like a bunch of idiots
>Got their asses handed to them
>Fell apart by the 90s.
Literally who cares? If The Klan happened in Europe it wouldn't even be a footnote it's only a big deal in America because let's be honest America has always been a very peaceful country with few controversies.
Of course liberals want you to think this is one of the worst countries in the world despite being the only success story of multiculturalism.
>>82187401
>success
>>82186800
Yeah, the premise pisses me off too
I'm tired of leftists who are legitimate "black men are smart and passionate and cool and soulful and athletic and they're exactly equal to everybody else" cucklords and I'm tired of right wing "I respect all citizens regardless of skin color and we're all proud Americans" blatant bullshit
It culminates in "everyone who fought in WWI was black" video games and "the 15th century monarchs were black" British historical dramas and movies with 90% black casts being praised for "diversity" and the majority of exhibits at the Smithsonian Institute being about either slavery or segregation and I don't care. I'm talking about having the radical, extremist opinion of not caring because by not spending every moment of my waking life contemplating how fucking wonderful they are.
I don't hate black people, hating them would require too much fucking energy, I'm tired of hearing about their nonexistent greatness and relevance and success.

Why are democrats so triggered by having their parties dirty laundery aired? Why are you so keen to talk about slavery in every regard but the democratic parties active complicity in sustaining it as long as humanly possible?
>>82186800
What!? One mod who isn't a leftist shill but a right wing shill!? WHAT!? WHAAAAAT!?

Does America have any terrorist groups that aren't total jokes? No wonder they were both so keen on concealing their identities.
>>82188036
No, it fits in perfectly well because it's a company staffed with whites and Asians devoting their labor to the glorification of blacks.
>>82188073
How fond of blacks are you? Did you get Beyonce's new album on vinyl? It's really woke - no one understands discrimination and desperation like a woman with a net worth of $450 million
>>82188097
What about right-wing militias and sovereign citizen movements?
>>82186387
In 1916 after the release of "Birth of a Nation" and when they marched in Washington DC. Woodrow Wilson was happy to march them in front of the White House.

What's this term mean according to you? Explain.I don't know if you've noticed yet but being shockingly racist is about as far from an obnoxiously and unnecessarily unique position as you can get on here.
>THOSE EVIL WHITE PEOPLE, HATE HATE HATE

Snowflakes are cold, white, fragile, and will disappear as global temperatures rise. Just like white people.
>>82188475
Oh so you didn't know what the meaning of the term was, figured. Not a bad job at a new definition though desu, shame you aren't as good at winning elections.

I don't care, why do you?
another day, another reminder that the white goyim are evil.
Remember that time at the Oscars when they said La La Land won Best Picture but after bringing the cast on stage and handing them the trophies they said it was a mistake and invited the cast of Moonlight on stage too and had the La La Land folks apologetically hand their trophies over to them?
That was a really weird mistake wasn't it?
Test
>>82188658
very unfortunate, indeed. you have to wonder how something like that happens at such a big event. lol!
