Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })BlacKkKlansman is a 2018 fact-based crime dramedy joint directed by Spike Lee, produced by Jordan Peele and Jason Blum, and starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace, Jasper Pääkkönen and Paul Walter Hauser.It tells the story of Ron Stallworth (Washington), the first black member of the Colorado Springs police department who took it upon himself to infiltrate and disrupt a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. Teaming up with a Jewish officer named Flip Zimmerman (Driver), who serves as Stallworth's "face", the two of them eventually uncover a plot to attack a local gathering of black activists who Stallworth has previously been assigned to work with as an undercover officer.Not to be confused with the low-budget 1966 film The Black Klansman.

Allohistorical Allusion: Subverted; the Klansmen chanting "America First!" at a meeting seems like a reference to Donald Trump's slogan, but the Ku Klux Klan and other reprehensible figures did indeed use the phrase first, stretching back as far as WWII, and its presence in the film is part of the Take That! at Trump for sharing such an overt similarity to them. Incidentally, the first chair of the "America First Committee," which opposed US entry into WWII, was Charles Lindburgh, an anti-Semite.

Actor Allusion: Mr. Turrentine, played by Isiah Whitlock, Jr., says "Sheeeeeeeeeeit" during his meeting with Ron, much like he does in The Wire, though this seems to be something of a personal Catchphrase throughout his career. Alec Baldwin appears in the beginning as the fictional Dr. Kennebrew Beaureguard. Baldwin is known for his portrayal of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. News footage of Trump appears in the end interspersed with footage of the Charlottesville rally.
