Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by offering an urgent and unwavering critique of white supremacy and systemic racism, advocating for active anti-racist struggle and drawing direct parallels to contemporary racial injustice.
The film centers on a Black protagonist's experience infiltrating a white supremacist organization, with its casting and narrative explicitly driven by themes of racial diversity and social justice. It directly critiques white supremacist ideologies and portrays their adherents negatively, making the struggle against racism central to its story.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity through the lens of the Ku Klux Klan, depicting it as a twisted justification for white supremacy, hatred, and violence. The narrative exposes the hypocrisy and cruelty of these adherents, offering no counterbalancing positive portrayal within this context.
The film depicts the virulent antisemitism espoused by the KKK, positioning the audience to condemn this hatred and sympathize with Jewish people targeted by it. The narrative clearly frames the KKK's bigoted views against Judaism as abhorrent and wrong.
BlacKkKlansman is a historical drama centered on racial injustice and the fight against white supremacy. The film's narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explore themes related to queer identity, making its portrayal N/A.
