    Ron Stallworth (born June 18, 1953) is an American retired police officer who infiltrated the ranks of the KKK in Colorado Springs, Colorado in the late 1970s. He was the first African-American police officer and detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department.[1][2]The 2018 film BlacKkKlansman is based on his life and early career.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Hollyweird does nothing right. They twist everything. Just like the left behind movies, all a lie.

    Tell you what, read the book and then come back and tell me the movie was based on this book. It isn't.

    I saw this opening night. Yes I knew what I might be getting into with Spike:
    1. The movie itself the story of Ron Stallworth is unbelievable. Wish the guy were my neighbor.
    2. Spike needlessly injected his personal opinion in about 5 spots and it wasn’t needed. The actual story was greatness. It is worth seeing.

    Some additional info that I wasn’t aware of until after I went to the movie. They had a private viewing about a week after it opened at the Majestic Theater in downtown Dallas. Ron S took pictures. I wasn’t there but a good friend was invited. He got the invite through a friend. He is a preacher and evidently the associate pastor’s doughter-in-law’s mther married Ron S.

    He he sent me a pic from the viewing with him and the actual KKK card. I noticed he was wearing a Beto shirt and asked a question about it. Ron S retired in El Paso and is friends with Beto who is from El Paso.

    Small world.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    The sentiment is accurate...but yes, he didn't say exactly that.

    He did however assume and characterize his films while admitting he's never seen one.
