Hollywood director Spike Lee’s newest film, “BlacKkKlansman,” features a group of Ku Klux Klan members chanting the slogan “America First.”
The film is based on the real life of Ron Stallworth, an African-American detective from Colorado Springs, Colorado, the first black member of the Colorado Springs police force.
Stallworth, played by John David Washington, son of actor Denzel Washington, and his partner Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) go undercover to infiltrate the KKK at its highest levels in order to thwart its the klan’s attempt to take over the city. The two become so enmeshed in the KKK that they strike up a friendship with notorious former Grand Wizard David Duke.
Duke is featured toasting “America First” near the end of the trailer.
