The Black Klansman (1966)

A Black Klansman!? What the fuck, what next, an obese anorexic, walking crippled, blind seeing-eye dog, meat-eating vegans, Homosexual Jew Nazis? It's like the inspiration for this movie happened when some kids were coming up with the most ridiculous oxymorons they could think of. The concept and title alone are pretty damn weird and automatically deserves to be in my personal "obscure insane wtf shit" collection, so you know I just had to hunt this down for the novelty value (and so I could tell annoying Dave Chapelle fans that a Black Klansman was done before Chapelle Show!). You don't really see a black Klansman though which the cover depicts. Instead a "black"/white guy who's daughter gets burned alive by the Klan wants revenge (who wouldn't?). This revenge involves him changing his identity by putting on a straight-hair wig and shaving his chin so he could pass off as a white guy and go undercover in the KKK to destory them from the inside...what's funny though is this guy could have passed off as white even without the "drastic" makeover. This makeover was as dramatic as Clark Kent changing into Superman (yeah really, glasses and a suit makes Superman a totally different person). Anyways he also dates the head Klansman's daughter to add insult to injury, that's pretty much the plot and shit that's hilarious because of how utterly unconvincing it is happens (the race transformation by a wig alone, you gotta be fucking kidding me haha, I still laugh just thinking about it). "Black Klansman" is a really obscure early exploitation film that should appeal to old school b&w b-movie fans that like tacky unintentionally funny cheeze movies. It exploits politically incorrect racial tensions, corruption, and has comical white supremacists that think Civil Rights are bad because there was nothing about them in the bible. A company called Blax (who specialize in Blaxploitations I guess) put this thing out on DVD and ebay is the only place I've found it. If you're like me, amused by crazy ideas actually being attempted on film, you might want it..just don't expect tons of sleaze and violence like all the other movies I usually view.
