    BLACKkKLANSMAN

    Tinsel & Tine’s look at A Spike Lee Joint  Fans of the Dave Chappelle show, can’t help but think about his hilarious skit involving Clayton Bigsby, the blind KKK leader who didn’t know he was black, when hearing about the premise of Spike Lee’s BlackkKlansman, which tells the true story of a black cop infiltrating the KKK in the 70’s in Colorado, and lives to tell the tale.
