Ku Klux Klan

People

say they're like, oh, I'm in the KKK.

I can't.

No, nobody said that.

In fact, I was the first black anything he had ever hired.

To make the story even more complicated, his father was the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Tipton.

But I tell people all the time, but God, God can change anybody's heart.

And sometimes you just got to get out of your way and allow God to do what he's going to

No one who

spawned in the whole Mississippi Delta that was worthy of holding elected office for 100 years? Or did the Klan have a say in that? Did the modern day Republican Party have a say in

that? Do they still have a say in

that? And this has been a historical night.

Yeah, no, those niggas don't exist.

You mean the

Klan? That's as far as I'm concerned.

You identify with them niggas now? That's the Klan.

And the reason this is so interesting is because Forest County, I didn't notice until right now, this is me learning this in real time, Forest County was named...

in honor of the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

I did

not know that until today.

Sorry, the last thing I'll say on it is that it refuses people to be victims, which is something that I've loved about it.

And I think as I think about... what liberation, like what cinema started with when you look at Birth of a Nation and it being one of the first kind of superhero movies, one of the first, right? Like people then, they sold fucking Ku Klux Klan hats at the cinema, right? It was the first movie to be shown fucking at the White House, right? Like, it's like, that's what cinema can be, but it can also perhaps be a tool for liberation.

So that's what I have to kind of imagine, like, how we can expand our own imaginations and how it can make us think bigger than sometimes our own box.

And I think that's something that I wish to be a part of.

Kidnapped the president's wife without a plan.

And hanging like the Ku Klux Klan.

I melt mics till the sound waves over.

Before stepping to me, rather step to Jehovah.
