KKK series canceled

I think this is a real shame since the series was intended to shed light on one of the most misunderstood organizations in America.
Episode 1 regarded outreach programs, such as "It's OK to be Gay in the KKK" and "KKK Sez We're Fine if You're Lez." Both segments had been openly embraced by target audiences in special San Francisco showings.
The second episode, which featured a title that rhymed with "trigger," was less warmly received in a showing to a target audience in South-Central LA. That episode was being re-edited when A&E announced it was killing the project.
Episode three, for transgenders, had this working title: "If You've Got a Dick, Stay the Fuck Out of this Bathroom."
"The Ku Klux Klan clearly has messaging issues," producer Elmer Goldstein said.

I met a real live Klan member when I was in college, otherwise I may have questioned their existence. Not sure a tv show would offer the same clarity.

I wonder if busybody will be showing his mug or hiding behind the white mask.

No kidding. I spent part of my growing up years in an area where the Klan was supposedly very active. There may have been Klan meetings (if any Klan members were really living there), but if they did meet that was the only activity. None of them ever made a public appearance.

"misunderstood?"

Nah. Some of us have no need to normalize fuckery in order to "understand" it.

We over here are good.

As I suspect is true of 99 percent of the people who participate here, busybody is probably a nice guy who gets along well in society and hides behind (and relishes) his anonymity here.
That's my opinion. But if this busybody guy is also screwulibz, I'm really tired of his act. He starts a lot of threads I'd be happy to participate in but I just can't get past the title.

Tongue in cheek, zumi, tongue in cheek.

But you knew that.

Maybe it's more of a social club these days. Now...that guy back then was a scary dude. I can't say for sure he ever "strung anyone up" but he was capable.

Some posters get banned, others change profile names for personal reasons. Busybody by any other name is still a hateful racist nazi. He has no problem showing this in each and every post.

If he does get along well in society outside of Lit it is only because that society is unaware of how he spends his time at Lit.

They really had no choice but to cancel it.

"Our goal with this series has always been to expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms," the network said in a statement. "However, A&E learned last night from the third-party producers who made the documentary that cash payments — which we currently understand to be nominal — were made in the field to some participants in order to facilitate access. While we stand behind the intent of the series and the seriousness of the content, these payments are a direct violation of A&E’s policies and practices for a documentary. We had previously provided assurances to the public and to our core partners — including the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change — that no payment was made to hate group members, and we believed that to be the case at the time. We have now decided not to move forward with airing this project."

It's pretty funny that two morons are so dumb they grew up around the KKKlan and didn't even notice they were surrounded by them.

I clipped out the part about him being a nice guy. I have never seen proof of that. Not even a hint. I can count on him floating the n bomb on this site constantly.

A pathetic old man. Talk like that on the street would get his ass beat.

No, it's pretty funny that you automatically assume so many people around you are evil, evidence to the contrary.

For someone apparently unconcerned about his perceived lack of intelligence you sure do call people "moron" a lot.

No red lights warning you of danger in the town either?

You wouldn't know KKK if one bit you on the ass...unless you were at one of your meetings, of course.

I think the KKK today are on par with MC's of today (motorcycle clubs) They wear the get up and emulate the culture, but they are a far cry from the real groups from the old days.

Not saying all MC's today are posers, Hell's Angels, Mongols, Pagans, etc. But there are more and more poser groups emerging. Most KKK activities these days, are protests. Lazy, dumb rednecks who draw a check and shoot their mouths off. All bark and no bite. We should ignore these groups of fools and let the legacy of the KKK die.

why?

would I be part of a RACIST orginization?

LIKE YOU ARE!

Riding a motorcycle is not only insane but fucking dangerous.

They murders and firebombings declined significantly once the FBI started investigating and prosecuting the KKK members and other white supremacists.

That may stop of course, since Trump said he's never heard of white supremacists. He'll send the FBI after those 3,000,000 illegal aliens who voted this year.
