What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If you say so...
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

It will come out eventually. When no one is paying attention anymore it will pop up on Netflix or Amazon or something without much fanfare. Just like The Interview.

You are correct about that. The irony of it all is that many black people are moving to the South. It's kind of a reversal of the Great Migration. Why would they want to move to states that are apparently populated mostly by the KKK? It's a ridiculous idea.

We’ve seen an increase in diversity in our town too. And I say this because when I moved here 10 years ago, there were no black residents. Of course, there’s a story as to why but that’s in the past and not relevant. In the past, I don’t know, perhaps 3-4 years, we’ve had a few African Americans move to town. No issue.

I must say though that I still think this movie is not a wise idea.

The blackest cities in the country are mostly in the South.

It's cheaper. Especially buying homes and land. Heating bills are less. A/C may be higher but that is significantly less expensive than heat. If they avoid the most troublesome area's within specific southern states, it can be a win.

Actually Tokora is saying that Klansmen and neo-Nazis("The first two") tend to be("usually overlap") poor Southerners("the third"). You're reading it backwards.

The controversy around the Interview actually helped it because without the media whirlwind, that movie would've been a dud. It was really not that good a of a film.
