7/4/19 BlacKkKlansman? (Movie Netflix)

    Without getting into the movie, I was watching and a thought occurred to me, which is more powerful, infiltrating a group and forcing change from the inside or demanding justice and screaming at the wind?  I thought the main character, Ron Stallworth, was doing a great job in being a perfect example of what a fine black police officer could do and look like.  The general police force had a very negative opinion of black people and now they were forced to accept one in their ranks and see that a lot of their stereotypes were just that.  He was slowly challenging the status quo and making the other officers think of the black inmates as people and not "toads" as they liked to call them before Ron started saying no.
    The contrast was then seen when a popular personality came into town to talk for the area college and he was an inspirational guy.  He said all the right things and he put things in perspective making the black man think about things maybe he hadn't, such as his example where he grew up cheering for Tarzan to beat those "savages" when he then realized that those "savages" are the face of me.  TV had trained him, a black person, to hate his black heritage.  He was calling for all black people to arm themselves, that war was coming.
    I don't think this is the best way to handle tense race negotiations.  The "white" man has the advantage of better access to better weapons and the law is on their side, because they wrote it.  In any fight, it is going to be black vs. white and white will just win most of the time.  This goes along with standing on a street corner and yelling for equality, all it does is invite people with an opposing view to come in and yell the opposite opinion in your face.  This is what happened in North Carolina two years ago when the KKK came out from under its rock and were quickly met by forces larger than themselves.  People ended up dead over there in their attempts to scream "I am more right than you."
    The movie is set in the 70s, in Colorado Springs, Co.  Ron Stallworth is trying to do more than just be a cop.  He wants to make change happen, and does he.  On a whim, sitting at his desk, he calls the offices of the KKK which I guess used to advertise.  He poses as a white man tired of all the blacks, jews, Mexicans, and everyone else who might be stealing his job.  He gets his partner to pretend to be him and go and join them.  Pretty soon, his partner is in and seems to be doing fine except for the one ahole obsessed with the idea that he is jewish.  He denies over and over, and the story culminates with the idiot klansmen set up a bomb trying to kill the leader of the black movement on campus, which has slowly become the love interest for Ron.
