Blackkklansman Entertainment Jasper P Kk Nen Racism Spike Lee

Why Spike Lee cast a Finnish actor as the most fanatical white supremacist in ‘BlacKkKlansman’

sudshr47 October 25, 2018

When Jasper Pääkkönen walked out of the audition room after reading for the main white supremacist role in BlacKkKlansman, Spike Lee was absolutely convinced the actor was born and bred in the States – which is fittingly symbolic for a film based entirely on false perceptions, impersonations, and doppelgängery of almost Shakespearean proportions.

Trump’s terrible response to the ‘Roseanne’ controversy is the most Trump thing ever

sudshr47 May 30, 2018

After 24 hours of silence, you knew it was coming: Donald Trump finally tweeted about Roseanne Barr’s racist comments about Valerie Jarrett and the subsequent cancelation of her ABC show. And, of course, he managed to do so in the most Trumpian way possible.

Here’s the tweet:

Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?
