The Ankler reported a slight variation on the story. The outlet claims that the film follows the Black slave reenactor as he clashes with the racist mayor of a Midwestern town, who will be played by Parker. Lamar, The Ankler said, has recorded several original songs for the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tParker and Stone debut \u201cSouth Park\u201d Season 29 on Sept. 16.
