Because he’s a racist hypocrite. He hates “ALL” white people…because he thinks all white people hate all black people. Or at least that’s what he wants people to think he is like. He acts as though he is some sort of extremist when, at the same time, he has done nothing but profit from his racist mindset. He is a populor director not because of his movies, Â but because of how he acts around the media.
So, when a black celebrity speaks out against racism he’s a racsist? But everyone else can speak out against it, but black people, is that how it is? He’s not a racist. He’s a prof at N.Y.U at the graduate level. If he WAS like you say he is, then he would NOT be teaching there. I can guarentee that. The fact is is that white people see him differently than black people. White and black people see RACISM differently, and if you’re a black person in the spotlight speaking out against racsism, alot of white people are going to think you are a racist. How would you like it if no black celebrity ever spoke out against racism? The argument he had against Flags of our fathers was a good argument. Why? Because a African American WWII vet who was in battle on D-Day said that he felt sad not to see ANY black soldiers in that movie. But what else is new, Hollywood has been NOT or Misrepresenting African Americans and other minorities for years. You all know this. This is not new news. So, do they NOT have the same right as white people about speaking out against something that has effected them since Hollywood began? I say yes they do. They’re citizens just like white people. This is everyone’s America, not just white people. I’m sorry but, Spike Lee isn’t the hypocrite.
He may seem alittle extreme in his view, but doesn’t make him a racist, it makes him a man concerned about the well being of his people just like you are of your people. I completely disagree with you on this.
Anyway. I love all of his fims other than:
Crooklyn
Girl 6
Bamboozled.
I can’t wait until Miracle at St. Anna comes out. I WILL be comparing it to Inglorious Bastards too see which one I like better.[/quote]
