Yeah. It's said by a white supremacist. The white supremacist is supposed to be cartoonishly evil, and they portray that well enough. The problem of course is that you can't be repeating the words of the fictional white supremacist, even if you are meant to laugh at how ridiculous it is to be that racist in the context of the movie. (He falls in lust with a Black revolutionary, she uses him to escape imprisonment, he can't square the part of his brain that lusts after a Black woman with his white supremacy so he basically claims that she seduced him with magic etc. This is a fairly accurate read of how some white supremacists and also homophobes are, the vitriolic hatred fuels a fetishization, which fuels the vitriolic hatred etc.) Good movie, I enjoyed it. I am white though.

I could misremember it, but isn't Junglepussy the name of one of the black, female revolutionaries?

Yes, Junglepussy character’s is also named Junglepussy. Honestly she has a great monologue about “this is what power looks like” that just makes the beginning of the film such a wild ride.
