Obsessively Outspoken

'BlacKKKlansman' (A Spike Lee Joint) & Tribalism


Listen Later

In today’s episode of Obsessively Outspoken, we review Spike Lee’s new joint, ‘BlacKKKlansman’. The movie is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, an African-American police officer who infiltrates the Klu Klux Klan by responding to an ad in the newspaper. We speak on which parts of the film were memorable and had most relevance to the times we’re living in today. I list my top 5 Spike Lee movies of all time along with a letter grade review on ‘BlacKKKlansman’.
Later in the episode, we dig deep and discuss the topic of Tribalism. We're impelled to ask ourselves the questions...What makes us tribal? Is it human nature or taught behavior? There are a plethora of tribes around the globe, but today we try our best to enumerate all of the subsets of tribes that exist in the African-American/Black community. Most importantly, we debate whether or not tribalism is helping or hurting us as a society and what can we do now to unify all human beings as one tribe. Enjoy!
