      Best coloured guard ever! Dumb racists, death to every grand wizard that proudly refuses to give up their hood. If kkk was good they wouldn't need to cover their faces. I hope the kkk gets irradicated and people stop glorifying their wicked cause. They are worse than Nazis because they hide under hoods. This scene is a prime example of people blowing hot air.. the fact that we didn't come from monkeys is the only truthfull thing that nutless simian said.

      When your old enough to realize the kkk isn’t a cult. But is actually recognized by the us government. And has yet to be abolished or seen as domestic terrorist. That’s the scary part of walking into a group like this. Who you gonna call? Not the police. Not anybody. You can’t tell which of those are civilians and which are trained military or police or even government officials. You just don’t know. Besides they will probably automatically kill you if your caught. It’s just even more terrifying to know some of these men are still in high places in America. And also low places you don’t wanna cross towns to see. Kkk won’t ever leave america so as long as we have politicians and governments that are in place to keep blacks in turmoil. That’s what’s terrifying. Not a group of men in a field who can’t chase you with their poorly cut hoods on. But not being to escape a country who eventually wants you as a Christmas ornament. But ok larger trees not anywhere near your home.

    I don’t know if this was the intention, but the silly dancing actually makes this even scarier for me. It kinda hammers home that feeling that you couldn’t get from just seeing it as is: seeing people so openly, even proudly, engaging in deep evil without seeing anything even slightly wrong with it.
    The dancing I think better illustrates that, at least as well as a comedic film can since it can’t teleport you to a sincere Klan burning in person. They’re doing something ridiculous, and they really don’t see it that way.

    Goodness me this is one of my favourite films
    Great scene and the Klan in this very tuneful, but ridiculous and that cross falling very cleverly filmed
    The Coen Brothers are simply brilliant

    Ok, so we watched this in my reading class recently. They were fighting in a Bush and this was the last thing both me and my friend expected to see. We couldn’t help but start laughing due to the fact that the KKK came out of nowhere and were marching and dancing with the shocked look on each of their faces. We werent laughing when they were gonna hang tommy tho bc he was my favorite character tied with Everett.

      Movies make them out to seem really backwoods and not very intelligent. But as someone who lives in the Deep South, you’d be surprised at the kinds of people who took part and still do take part in the Klan. People from lawyers to gas stations clerks. I even met a old man once at work that showed me some of his belongings from his klan days. It’s insane
