Spike Lee describes the "New Day" In America

[geglockn]

I would much prefer a white man be presiding over our currently failing country than a black man. We got into this economic mess with white men at the helm. They deserve most of the "credit", not a black man (I am a white man). If Obama can solve this economic mess, it will be a win/win for our nation. I am just afraid that he cannot and our racial divisions may grow.

[iluelementry]

spike got blinded by obamas lights

using your own principles of black power to influence a presidential election

you love the image America dont forget to check the under the hood

by the way im not black white asian korean east indian muslim

im a canadian native and my only role model was Pocahontas HAHAHHA

i am the AVATAR

[rw5791]

come on,spike, it's the midterms,man.We didn't expect obama to walk on water but we did expect him to NOT be an afro-marxist. That mugabe-castro stuff is some old shit,man,you got to move on.Yeah,moveon.org, know what I'm sayin'?

[TheShannon76]

So much for that Seismic shift, Spike

[Starwheel6]

Integrate or disintegrate.

Barack needs to take charge-

after 18 months still waiting to see if he belongs to the MLK level or is he going to keep tap-dancing for the Harvard insider clique.

So far I hear hardwood clicking of the floor level

when we need MLK Deity divine vibrational level upliftment into soulful good-hearted exalted action Reverence for the preciousness of all life is true wealth that creates joy.

[xgs724]

notice how on some of these videos you get bitter racist white people saying "oh he's just happy because he's black". Yeah SO THE HELL WHAT!! Are you saying that a black person cant be happy that a black president is in office for the first time ever. The last 43 presidents were white. I think black people have the right to be happy about it. And fuck you if you disagree, you're probably just a bitter republican racist idiot.

[majikninja07]

ab will start the leading power of the east and the complete de industrialization of the west whalecum to the worse decade of 2k

[BOOLsheet]

"what took you so long?" - yeah there were a whole bunch of great black candidates for president before obama...grow up douchebags

[cs00024]

love him or hate him...it was a momentous and historical moment in our countrys history....however obama is a politician and its in their job description to lie...thats what they are(republican,democrat,indepe­ndent,etc.)they are all professional liars....i voted for obama in '08 and if he isnt able to bring about reform in this fading republic well ive lost my faith in the system and therefore have voted in my last election

[Minordd3]

Don't respond to the attention seekers on here.

That's something they need to confront w/their mommy's and daddy's on. They're sad and upset their mom's and dad's chose to drink & have sex w/the neighbors kids rather than spend time w/them.

[crazytrain2u]

AHHH! That hurt my feelings. Whatever, go worship that blue gum, burr headed ape.

[crazytrain2u]

Yes sir, a nigger is in the white house! lets all rejoice! whatever! i give it 2 months and someone will take him out.

[crazytrain2u]

yes, I felt you knew how to spell *wigger*.

[crazytrain2u]

Spike Lee has to be the most stupiest nigger in the world. Wished he living in Alabama in the 30's. He'd be swinging from a tree.

[badtown88]

Hmmm. Please leave this country. There is very little room for little faggots like you.

[crazytrain2u]

you and your music have 2 things in common: you both suck.

[badtown88]

Uhhh, what? I doubt you've heard my music. Stop being a fuckwad and tell me why you feel the need to hate blacks.

[crazytrain2u]

I heard your music, and yes, it sucks. I hate blacks because they came out in droves this year to elect a half breed just because he is black. Not issues! His race! If that isn't the most ignorant reason. I dont't care what anyone says, Barack Osama isn't black he is bi-racial. So he isn't our first black president, he is our first bi-racial president. All the nigger lovin whites that voted for him....you'll see the destruction this man is capable of causing, and we won't take you back!

[badtown88]

I can't believe I'm wasting my time disproving your retarded argument, but here goes: You say Obama is not black because he's only half black. I'll use myself as an example. I am half German and half Irish. Does that make me not Irish? Where is the logic? Yes, a lot of blacks voted for Obama because he's black. Didn't it ever occur to you that a lot of whites voted for McCain because he's white??? My entire family voted for McCain because they are racist. Learn some fucking common sense

[crazytrain2u]

Oh, you're a whigger? LOL! loser

[badtown88]

So I'm a "wigger" (by the way you even mispelled your own slang word) because I disproved your retarded comment?!? Once again, you have offered personal insults rather than offering a logical argument.

[gary83uk]

Nobody thinks its a "new day" because blacks voted for a bi-racial candidate. Its because the fact that America is predominantly white didn't prevent a bi-racial candidate from winning and therefore indicates that at least some racial barriers have been overcome.

[armyofonerd]

Listen Oswald, leave me alone. I've wasted way too much time with your pathetic excuse for trying to show your viewpoint. Grow up and consider using the internet to resolve your aggression, or at least learn proper English. People like you always try to communicate with others, however your message is lost with the words you use. You fail to understand the concept that people will have different views from yourself, however consider additional education to learn that. End.

[0alstonw0]

I am a man which is why I asked for your information so that I could meet you in person! You are worse than a terrorist because the country will always be susceptible to internal vulnerabilities because idiots like you cosighn for idiot leadership

[armyofonerd]

You and I both know your bitch ass would never show. What the fuck is up with your spelling, you really need to work on your GED bitch! Now fuck off, leave me alone and get a life. What will make you move on? You win, now will you leave me alone!? A terrorist, it was Obama that went hand in hand with terrorists not I you fucking piece of shit. Consider doing something for this country instead of always taking. Now move on and leave me alone!

[Satchel334]

Obama being elected President of the United States IS a great moment in American history! America rules!

[Satchel334]

Do The Right Thing was also the movie Barack and Michelle Obama saw on their very first date! Our new First Lady and President! How cool is that?

[Satchel334]

Spike Lee makes some good points (and some I don't agree with). But Obama getting elected President of the United States is a ground breaking moment. America rules!

[armyofonerd]

Oalston-It appears that both of us see things from a different point of view. I have better things to do than to try and trade jabs at each other. End.

[0alstonw0]

Becausae reading a book may be too hard for you I would look up Chris Mathews "Finally, some truth" on youtube!

[armyofonerd]

You of course believe everything Chris Mathews says, what a fucking idiot! Keep listening to the left, and next time learn to how to fucking spell shit for brains.

[shaggyjam]

Howdee doodee LMAO

[armyofonerd]

Crime rates in inner cities are high, children are not held accountable for their actions and the best teachers only stay there long enough to get experience and then leave as quick as possible. You must be willing to move where the jobs are and where the better/best schools are as a parent. I also like the idea of students given the opportunity to change schools to those who have better records. Schools teach to pass govt tests instead of teaching kids knowledge.

[Wiseguy455]

I've heard people say that Spike Lee is a racist but you have to admit, he's right about the Republican party. They are out of touch with times and reality.

[gf7779311]

Spike Lee is a Great guy!

Very funny about the New York Knicks :)

God Bless the USA

[stealth423]

Spike lee is a racist scumbag. You got you're black president now stop whining. These stupid reporters don't even question his rant. Only reason BO won is because W sucked and McCain was a non-candidate.

[DreSoul]

John McCain was a "non-candidate"? As if Mitt Romney, Rudy Guiliani, or Mike Huckabee could have done any better...they wouldn't have stood a chance....John McCain was actually the best candidate for the GOP...what are you smoking?

[jennytalula]

Slavery might be history, but that doesn't mean it isn't relevant anymore. Lee is absolutely right, it's most important to remember this. I come from Germany and know how important it is to remember your history. There is not one single day in Germany where you aren't remembered about World War II. Did I do it, did my parents do it? NO! Still. It is part of the country I live in, and parts remain as is racism in the US. We need to constantly remember to not make those horrible mistakes again.

[SayNoToPC]

Yes,and it's long overdue that us WHITES rediscover the history of Our enslavement at the hands of non-Whites:

700s-1400s:slaves to Arab/BLACK/Muslim Moors in Spain,which we were dragged to North Africa to be slaves.

1500s-1800s:again the Moorish Barbary pirates who stormed villages along the entire Southern and Western coast of Europe,dragging more to North Africa.

Ghengis Khan pillaging Easern Europe.

Attilla,ditto.

The MUSLIM Ottoman Empire

FUCK YOU SPIKE AND ALL WHITEY-BLAMERS!!!!

[armyofonerd]

Leave it to Lee to bring up slavery. Yes, no one alive to day owned a slave, but its always thrown in our face as if we owned slaves last week. Hey Spike, slavery is over, its dead, its history. You remind me of the race baiters of Sharpton and Jackson, but I guess Jackson did not get to cut off the nuts of Obama as he spoke of - but I see you failed to mention that. Lastly, you looked so funny when the Red Sox came back from 3-0 to win and you just sat there in your Yankees clothes!

[0alstonw0]

Slavery is an issue when discussing why it's taken so long for a black man to get to this point! A question the white gentleman asked! Most educated people realize that when you bring up slavery you are also talking about reconstruction and Jim Crow which was worse than slavey in many respects!

[armyofonerd]

Maybe instead of simply trying to judge why it has taken so long for a black man to get there consider asking what were the policies of that person before asking what color their skin was. Are you trying to say because we have not elected a black man that we as a nation are somehow racist? Or is it that a black man has not come forward with specific politices that a majority of the nation were able to support? Stop blaming everything on race and look at the person first!

[0alstonw0]

The white guy is the one who asked the question you idiot! Spike Lee simply answered and you got on talking shit! I simply brought that to your attention but I can see that you still didn't get that either! I think you should educate yourself and make an informed decision before you engage in discussions!

[armyofonerd]

The white guy did not bring up slavery, it was Lee. According to Lee, everything is about slavery. The white guy spoke about what our children will say in 10 years, not what happened 400 years ago!

[0alstonw0]

You look funny being another uneducated intollerant asshole! I thank god I am out of the military and have an education! People like you really suck! Let me guess-you must be from hickville!

[armyofonerd]

I've received my education and can look at this from an unbiased viewpoint - you can't. Maybe you received educational benefits from the military, however I would suggest you actually use them instead of letting them expire! If living in a community with 4+ Million is "hickville" then I'm there.  You agree with the comments from Jackson about cutting the nuts off Obama? You agree with Lee about everything is black? You simply ignore the facts, and listen to who?

[0alstonw0]

I could also point out the fact that the youth Cosby was refering to were taught nothing about thier own culture in schools besides slavery and with that said why would you expect them to raise above thier circumstances?

[armyofonerd]

I can agree with you that the schools do not teach everything they should, but that does not mean that the parents, the "village" can provide the readings to ensure the history of each and every race lives with each new generation. Can you imagine if the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen were gone for new generations? How about the Jewish Holocaust? I along with many only want each and every race to accept responsibility for their actions. I've spoken of several special programs for non-whites.

[0alstonw0]

Chris Rock made a great statement he said "when you talk about slavery you are just talking about a period when black people had no right so you are talking about the 1600's to oh, say about the year 1964 give or take a year depending on when your state decided to act right!

[armyofonerd]

Wow, you base your facts on Chris Rock - did you forget he makes a living on comedy? Why did you quote Rock and ignore Bill Cosby? Someone who has been around for 40+ years and preaches individual responsibility - or could you not handle that and that is why you left the military? The US corrected hundreds of years of slavery and yet many ignorant people continue to try and blame others for it-not any more! No longer will anyone be able to use the race card in trying to blame an entire race

[0alstonw0]

First of all idiot you have inundated me with a lot of drivel and I have things to do! You clearly didnt respond with respect to the question asked by the white journalist with respect to why it has taken so long to have a black representative on the presidential stage! First of all I thought the military was for people who couldn't handle personal responsibility and can't make it on the outside!

[armyofonerd]

Maybe you need to listen to it again, the "white" journalist did not bring up slavery, it was Lee. The question was what will our children say 10 years from not, not what happened 400 years ago. Have your not heard of other black people running for president, Obama was not the first. Lastly, maybe you are from the newer generation that refuses to take responsibility for your actions, back in the day, we all took responsibility for our actions, and all races worked as a team.

[0alstonw0]

Slavery happened 400 yrs ago?!?!?!?! Dude what the fuck are you talking about? Other than the Native Americans no other people had it as bad as blacks in this country! I suggest you look at Black Wallstreet:Tulsa Riots! Things have a cyclical effect guy and that includes slavery! Read a book man seriously

[armyofonerd]

The 400 years was from Lee, not me. What about Asians who were removed from their homes and put into "camps" during WWII? Was that fair? Do you hear of that race demanding certain rights? And compared to native Americans, blacks come in at a distant second regarding treatment from "whites". My point is that people have opportunities now, today and continued blaming of others only keeps you down instead of taking responsibility of your actions and doing something about it.

[0alstonw0]

Dude you should really look at the country and it's actions toward blacks in this country! The 60's were not that long ago and times then were BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The educational system is this country is horrible in the inner cities! Think what you want man, there is no hope for you!

[armyofonerd]

Again, those parents in the inner cities should consider living in small town America for the benefit of their children. Just because you have lived in one place for 40+ years does not mean you must stay there. Govt regulations on schools are hurting them. Allowing illegal children access to our schools only increases the number of students to teacher ratio and the language barrier slows down the learning. Teachers can't even punish those same children and yet you expect the best teachers.

[armyofonerd]

You had briefly mentioned the Jim Crow laws in our past, but did you look at which party was in charge during those hard times for blacks? It may be so easy to blame republicans, but look at and ask why the democrats who had power make a choice to support those Jim Crow laws? or judges who supported seperate but equal being fair? Did you ever look at which party those same judges supported - yes its the democrats again. I guess words of today are louder than actions of their past.

[0alstonw0]

So by that inane logic Catholics are wrong for taking part in a religious organization conceived in a culture that completely subjugated Christians in the past and took part in killing Jesus! Please don't bother me with your ill-conceived bullshit responses!

[0alstonw0]

Please take advantage of the G.I. bill! I would suggest taking part in classes like sociology, philosophy and history!

[armyofonerd]

I've already taken of that, but did not make a foolish attempt at majors you listed because I would prefer consistent work like the medical field offers. I'll let you take up sociology, philosophy and history and watch you continue to search for work - unless of course you want to try and work for team Obama? Maybe you should finish school before trying to give others advise - just a thought. Obama is for the future but will put Clinton as Secretary of State?? Wow, and I'm sure you support this

[0alstonw0]

You stupid fuck I finished school before being called up to go to Iraq three years ago and I majored in none of those but took advantage of a wide range of courses to make up general education credits! I think it's funny that you praise money over knowledge! I would say that proberbly makes you a mathematicaly inclined individual! And math people are idiots!

[armyofonerd]

First - it sounds like you are complaining about being called up, suck it up bitch its called the military for a reason! Second, most degree plans require a broad range of general knowledge, unless you are saying you received your associates? Third, my bachelors is in the medical field, chosen because I knew there would always be a job. If having a desire to always have a paycheck is "praising money", then thats is me. Keep complaining about others and shut your pie hole. Many have served!

[0alstonw0]

and female genocide in Iraq-idiot! I recieved a B.A. in three years and the fact that you say that you understand general ed credits doesn't explain why you thought that you had to recieve a degree in the subjects listed to study them! YOu are a dumb fuck! Read a book! I would loved to have fought in WW2 but instead fought for a dumb redneck like yourself

[armyofonerd]

You are nothing more than an asshole with a computer. You would have loved to fight in WW2? Most veterans would have loved to never have had the need to fight a war, but you are the pathetic little kid complaining about serving this country after receiving its benefits. Fuck you, you little jerk! You brag about serving, but complain about those you served under. If you don't like it, be one of the leaders or get the fuck out! You ignore the fact that congress approved it. Keep crying!

[0alstonw0]

Congress approved it based on faulty information given to Colin Powell a man they purposely lied to and used his credibility to champion this rediculous war! Read a book you fucking idiot!

[armyofonerd]

So now you know exactly what information Congress was given? Give me a break. People like you only blame Bush for this war while they ignore the fact that CONGRESS is the authority to vote for war, they approved it and now people like you only blame Bush. Keep blaming Bush for everything in you pathetic little life and ignore those that are actually responsible. It may be others, or it may be you! It's amazing how you make and excuse for all of Congress and Powell, and yet you blame Bush!

[0alstonw0]

The CIA gave this information to Colin Powell and told him that it was VERIFIED by the German gov! It is Bushs fault and Cheneys you fucking moron! They were looking for any way to send us to war! Again read a book you dumb fuck and pull Hannitys cock from your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[armyofonerd]

You again refuse to answer the fucking simple question . . why did each and every member of congress vote the way they did? You try and blame Bush and Cheney for everything but refuse to even allow 1% of fault to fall on every member of congress that voted for this. It was their responsibility to understand this before they voted - but again you fail to even understand this.  Take the dick of Mathews out of your ass and go get a fucking real job.

[0alstonw0]

You stupid fuck because they believed what Colin Powell believed you dumb bitch! They were told that their was a major threat based on information by a guy nicknamed curveball! Stop bothering me with stupid fucking points that you really think mean something significant! I mean it would be cute if you were a child or a hot girl but you are a grown fucking man!!!!!!

[armyofonerd]

Shut the fuck up you child molester, I bet you wish I was a child - pathetic pervert! You've just been identified! Point #2, you were not there, you don't know what they were told and you again fail to understand it was their responsibility to fully understand everything before they voted, but people like you continue to make excuses - just like assholes . . . I tried to simply say we did not agree but you fucking shit for brains just could not leave - well get the fuck out now bitch!!

[0alstonw0]

I would love to beat the fuck out of your ignorent ass! Who the fuck said anything about molesting children! Tell me how to find you so I can beat your ass! Your dumb whore mother should have swallowed you!

[0alstonw0]

Only a perverse fuck would equate an attractive girl (like Jessica Simpson) getting away with being stupid and a little kid getting away with being ignorant to somehow correlating some sexual aspect shared by the two! I seriously want to fuck you up!

Your mother should be kicked in the teeth for not swallowing your stupid fucking ass!!!!!!

[armyofonerd]

Now like a typical shit for brains you change you words, you said little kid, not Simpson. At least stick to your words, man up bitch. Live by your word for once. All anyone expects is for people to live by their word and you can't even do that. Stop using simple words and making stupid threats. You and I both know you are nothing but a coward who hides behind your computer. Bother someone else, anyone else but leave me alone. Be a man for once and leave.

[0alstonw0]

Number two you god damn bitch we know that the information was bogus and this is documented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are by far the dumbest most simple minded fuck on youtube! Seriously I want to fuck you up! And no idiot that doesn't mean I want to have sex with you! Oh my god you have no idea what a fucking waste you are!!!

[armyofonerd]

Look bitch, move on. Move the fuck out! Can you understand that simple statement bitch. Even a stupid foot soldier can understand simple commands, so move the fuck out! Got it, move on to someone else. Quit wasting other peoples time. Serious, consider getting your GED and learn proper English bitch. Maybe all you speak is "slang" but it sounds pathetic. Keep trying to be a man behind a computer while the rest of us man up on a daily basis. Take an order from your superior bitch, move on!

[0alstonw0]

Anyone who sees this who is not themselves secretly infatuated with children will understand what was said and how you twisted it! You really don't deserve to live, seriously! I really want to beat the fuck out of you! Tell me how to find you! I wish I could stop you from repopulating the earth!

[armyofonerd]

Move on, leave me alone you simple minded fuck. Get a life, I tried to say we have different views but you were not man enough to simply move on - I'm telling you to man up and move on for once in your pathetic life. Man up bitch, and move the fuck out. Got it, leave, move on and bother someone else instead of living you pathetic piece of shit.

[0alstonw0]

My english is just fine and if a word like "repopulate" is slang to you then perhaps you should educate yourself a little more! You are the asshole who insists on contacting me with your inane observations and even after being proved wrong you insist on contacting me again with more stupidity!

[armyofonerd]

Maybe an asshole such as yourself is only capable of using continued profanity. Go back where you came from continue to repopulate. You fail to remember it was I who tried to simply say we did not agree and end it. Your pathetic ass continues to bring up shit! Just end it motherfucker, leave me alone.

[0alstonw0]

First of all you dumb bitch everyone should be upset that we went into Iraq because it made us less safe and has done unspeekable damage to the people of that country! Look up CIA material descibing the greater threat

[armyofonerd]

Upset?! You collected the paycheck every month, and yet here you are in line complaining about having to serve. You want the money, but complain about having to work for it! Pathetic. I hope you are out of the military, because it is better off without you in it. Continue to play video games, brag about serving and continue to complain about those you served under while the rest of us will do the work necessary, the work that was to hard for you to finish. End. Now shut your pie hole.

[0alstonw0]

You corny fuck I never bragged about serving that is your job dickhead "armyofone"- give me a fucking break! I don't play video games you fucking idiot and yes I used the military as a stepping stone! I have spoken to vietnam vets who also wish they had the opportunity to fight for a just cause!

[armyofonerd]

Most people in the military would prefer not to go to war - I don't know what military you say you served with, but maybe you should have actually spoke to those serving now! Maybe if you actually served in a Combat position you would understand more, however typing in combat does not qualify you pathetic shit for brains. I would like to think everyone whould also use the military as a stepping stone, however those also don't go around always blaming others - they actually do something.

[0alstonw0]

You are a fucking clown and I bet you have military stickers on your car! I can tell what a douche bag you are and I would never brag about being a part of the military or this unjust war! Look up female genocide! Look up Islamic constitution! Look up "Dick Cheney tells the truth about Iraq" on youtube you piece of shit!

[0alstonw0]

I really wasnt going to write you back but your stupidity cant go unchecked! Yes I know what information congress was given because it is common knowledge idiot! The German gov gave the CIA information from a source named Curveball but didnt say that they were willing to confirm it!

[armyofonerd]

Again, you continue to ignore facts! Congress voted for it, but of course you somehow blame Bush for how Congress voted. Yes, I'm sure you read all 1,400 plus pages and know each and every detail, hello . . . not all details were released dick head! Keep trying to tell others of your vast knowledge while the rest of us know you are nothing but an idiot! Maybe you could get a real job with the Obama administration??

[0alstonw0]

Those in my family who joined the military used it as a stepping stone to further their education and get real jobs! I brought up the Chris Rock comment because it was Pertinent and relevant to the conversation and sense you were not intelligent enough to get what Spike Lee was saying I figured I would break it down to you in simple terms but you were not bright enough to get that so I am not sure where this conversation will go

[armyofonerd]

I'm glad you and your family used the military to obtain your education. You did not simply stick out your hand and expect others to give - why don't more people do this? I would argue that having a job in the military is a real job and you can advance or fail depending on your desire, not simply because of skin color.

[0alstonw0]

He was basically making a statement that spoke to the fact that it has not been easy for blacks in this country and that we have been held back substantially. Do you think that things got better immediately after Dr. King made the I Have a Dream Speech? Are you seriously saying that because if you are then you are seriously out of your mind!

[armyofonerd]

Are you trying to say it has only been difficult for blacks and not any other race. You ignored the hardships of American Indians and Asians living in this country during those years - did they not have it just as difficult as blacks - or even more so? These people had their families taken from them, their property stolen and no laws were even broken. I'm not talking 400 years ago, I'm speaking of memories from those alive today.

[0alstonw0]

It is funny that most blacks in this country can trace their roots to a west African culture that stated It takes a village to raise a child, and in this culture we dont even have fathers by and large! So if you think that is not an indictment on this society and not the race itself you are just as delusional as Cosby!

[armyofonerd]

Maybe a village can help raise a child, however that does not excuse the responsibility of those parents. Yes, both man and woman. Are you trying to say it is the fault of whites or past years of slavery that has played a part in fathers failing to take responsibility? If you are, then you are the delusional one. Forget everything else, if you create a child, then you now take on that responsibility and allowing other taxpayers to financially support your child is wrong.

[0alstonw0]

It's funny that you brought up Bill Cosby because I'm sure all you know of him are the comments he made several years ago at a symposium! He spoke of responsibility no more than Chris Rock has in his actual standup routine and not some misdirected diatribe against the black youth of this country who have mostly been given no real leadership!
