A&E Cancels KKK “Documentary” Because Much of It Was Staged

DM-

Members of the Ku Klux Klan, who were the subjects of an A&E TV documentary series that was canceled last week, have claimed that several scenes from the show were faked by the producers.

Richard Nichols, who was one of the featured members of the series from Tennessee, told Variety that the production team even paid for the construction of wooden crosses and Nazi swastikas.

‘It was all made up—pretty much everything we said and did was fake and because that is what the film people told us to do and say.’

The show followed three high-ranking Klan members and their families in Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee, and had originally been titled, ‘Generation KKK’.

In the interview with Variety, Nichols said that he was being filmed and used the word ‘blacks’, but then ‘the producer interrupted me and said ‘No, no, no. We want him to use the word ‘n****r!”

The production company were also reportedly successful in organizing more than one cross-burning ceremony in Pulaski, Tennessee.

‘It was the producers who told me they wanted a cross-lighting,’ recounted Nichols. ‘In fact they made two cross-lightings cause they wanted to reshoot some scenes.

The producers, it turns out, were responsible for organizing terror.

And with the price of lumber these days, these poor bastids probably couldn’t afford to burn a cross.
