El tercer Klan, dicho sea de paso.
El primer Klan duró de 1865 a 1871, cuando el general Nathan Bedford Forrest, primer Gran Hechicero, ordenó la disolución y desarme del KKK.
El segundo surgió en 1915 a raíz de la película El nacimiento de una nación. y se acabó en 1944 después de que el fisco fuese a por ellos con el cuchillo entre los dientes.
El tercer Klan, por su parte, es el que lleva existiendo en diversas variantes desde los años 50.

The name of this tune is Mississippi Goddam
And I mean every word of it
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn
Can't you see it? Can't you feel it?
It's all in the air
I can't stand the pressure much longer
Somebody say a prayer
Alabama's gotten me so upset
Tennessee made me lose my rest
And everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn
This is a show tune, but the show hasn't been written for it, yet
Hound dogs on my trail
School children sitting in jail
Black cat cross my path
I think every day's gonna be my last
Lord, have mercy on this land of mine
We all gonna get it in due time
I don't belong here, I don't belong there
I've even stopped believing in prayer
Don't tell me, I'll tell you
Me and my people just about due
I've been there, so, I know
They keep on saying, "Go slow"
But that's just the trouble (do it slow)
Washing the windows (too slow)
Picking the cotton (too slow)
You're just plain rotten (too slow)
You're too damn lazy (too slow)
The thinking is crazy (too slow)
Where am I going? What am I doing?
I don't know, I don't know
Just try to do your very best
Stand up, be counted with all the rest
'Cause everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn
I bet you thought I was kidding, didn't you?
Picket lines, school boycotts
They try to say it's a communist plot
All I want is equality
For my sister, my brother, my people, and me
Yes, you lied to me all these years
You told me to wash and clean my ears
And talk real fine just like a lady
And you'd stop calling me Sister Sadie
Oh, but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you anymore
You keep on saying, "Go slow"
Go slow
But that's just the trouble (too slow)
Desegregation (too slow)
Mass participation (too slow)
Reunification (too slow)
Do things gradually (too slow)
But bring more tragedy (too slow)
Why don't you see it? Why don't you feel it?
I don't know, I don't know
You don't have to live next to me
Just give me my equality
Everybody knows about Mississippi
Everybody knows about Alabama
Everybody knows about Mississippi, goddamn
That's it!

Gran película.
#1 Gran peli.
Pero la de Sidney Poitier da más ansiedad.
#1 No sabía que lo que le estaba matando era la miseria.
#1 A mi me mola la escena que pilla por los huevos al poli chungo, por cierto, gran actor Michael Rooker.
#19 Curioso en esa peli salen sin ser muy conocidos Frances McDormand, no se si Willem Dafoe ya era famoso, Michael Rooker y E. Lee Emery, el cabronazo fantástico de la chaqueta metálica. Aparte Brad Dourif de el nido del cuco, como no Gene y mirando en imdb unas cuantas caras conocidas.

Y en 1925 marcharon en Washington como si de una procesión sevillana se tratara.

#9 Bessie Smith también tuvo que sufrir el racismo de esta gentuza cuando la dejaron morir al negarle atención en un hospital solo para blancos.
#10 Tras el accidente de tráfico que tuvo en la "Route 61" en el estado de Mississippi en 1937, lo cierto es que no se negaron a admitirla en un hospital para WASP's, porque el conductor de ambulancia que la recogió la llevó directamente a un hospital para afroamericanos, sabiendo que en un hospital para blancos nunca la iban a atender. En el hospital al que la llevaron hicieron lo que pudieron, pero había perdido mucha sangre, nunca recuperó la consciencia y no pudieron salvarla:

#10 #14 Hospital para blancos, que locura de país.
Hay una anécdota muy divertida cuando Ricky Brown, negro, de Mississippi, se encontró en Málaga con una procesión de semana santa. Se quedó blanco. Luego ya le explicaron de qué iba la historia.
#13 Oh no, otra vez no.
Y los crímenes de odio sigue dándose con "delicadeza", cosa de no alarmar a la opinión.
Euroamericanos neoyorkinos.
Un poco de propiedad, por favor.
#2 Tanto Goodman como Schwerner eran judios de Nueva York.
Pero no los llaméis fascistas, que se enojan y te denuncián por delitos contra la libre expresión -> Ellos se expresan así, matando a la gente.
Papelón de Hackman en una muy buena película.
