Black Klansman (2018 film) (or similar) – The
movie poster shows "BLACKKKLANSMAN", which likeliest is intended to be read as merely "Black Klansman", with an interpolated small-capital extra K as a
stylization.

Did I view it wrong or was Flip the person they somewhat hinted was under that hood during the cross burning at the end? I just want to make sure, for plot purposes. Trillfendi ( talk) 21:48, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
At this point it’s vexing that no one who has watched it seems to have the answers so I might have to investigate this myself by watching the ending again. If the facial hair wasn’t a dead giveaway, I don’t know what is, but it certainly wasn’t meant to be a cliffhanger. Trillfendi ( talk) 06:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
It was ivanhoe, the arms are too fat to be philip, and philips beard wasn't as grown out as the one shown in the last scenes
They seem to condense the timeline. The movie is clearly set circa 1972, as they reference Nixon and Agnew a few times and they're running for reelection. 1972 was the year the real Stallworth became a cop. The movie makes you think he started the Klan work started soon afterwards, yet the real investigation didn't start til 1979. Minnehaha850 ( talk) 19:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
The film is mostly lies. Ron Stallworth's book shows this. Family Guy Guy ( talk) 08:09, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
The article title’s current capitalization, BlacKkKlansman, is unsupported both by any actual rules of correct capitalization that I know and by MOS:TM. It is merely a stylized capitalization used in marketing and generally mimicked online, as indicated by its frequently being put in quotes. All actual rules of capitalization that I know and MOS:TM would seem to require the capitalization Blackkklansman, being as the title is presented as a single, unhyphenated word.
Or is it? Everyone I’ve ever heard pronounce the stylized BlacKkKlansman has pronounced it as “black Klansman.” The extra ‘k’ seems to be a purely stylized way of visually inserting a reference to the KKK into the marketing for the film rather than actually part of the film title. Note that the extra ‘k’ is written in lowercase on the poster, unlike the rest of the title. By this more likely interpretation, the film title is actually Black Klansman, and this article’s title should be something like “Black Klansman (2018 film)”. The first sentence of the lead would then add something like “(stylized as BLACKkKLANSMAN and BlacKkKlansman)” after the title. Antinoos69 ( talk) 04:50, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
