He doesnt tell him to "shut up and listen" he's not remotely offensive. Spike Lee wasnt being a dick Jeremy Paxman was dickhead by ASKING THE SAME QUESTION THREE TIMES!!!! Paxman should have done like you say "Take our word for it" from a world renowned, critical, educated film maker. Spike is justified in his response. "Why are black people always the one to settle?" (L. Hill)l We are too docile, fearfull of offending the 'great white man'. Thank u for the info I will check it out.
White America nts us to sit back and be cozy comfy with our black president and shut up and mesh with white Americas paganistic ,devil worshiping mind controlling thru tv ,Internet,music, money
On February 22, 1902, John McLaurin, South Carolina's junior senator, raced into the Senate Chamber and pronounced that state's senior senator, Ben Tillman, guilty of "a willful, malicious, and deliberate lie." Standing nearby, Tillman spun around and punched McLaurin squarely in the jaw. The chamber exploded in pandemonium as members struggled to separate both members of the South Carolina delegation. In a long moment, it was over, but not without stinging bruises both to bystanders and decorum
ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER BLACKMAN PISSING ALL OVER ALL WITH A HUNDRED YEAR OLD ARGUMENT...PEOPLE LIKE LEE AND THERES PLENTY OF THEM WILL NOT BE HAPPY DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY APPOLOGIES..HOW MANY NEW DOORS OPEN..HOW MANY BLACK PRESIDENTS...THE WHOLE WORLD EXEPT BLACKS WILL HAVE TO GET IN A SPACE SHIP AND FUCK OFF TO THE MOON...AND "THEY'LL" STILL SAY THEY CAN STILL SEE "US"HE'S SHITTING ON THE WORK AND THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE EVERYTHING..EVERYTHING FOR CHANGE.AND I DON'T MEAN NO "UNCLE TOMS" FUCKING SHAME
@slippped THE SEVERAL WHITE PRESIDENTS BEFORE BARACK OBAMA ISN'T EQUIVALENT TO THIS ONE BLACK PRESIDENT WE HAVE TODAY.. WHITE PEOPLE GIVE BLACK PEOPLE PENNY'S COMPARED TO THEIR DOLLARS.. A TINY PIECE OF LAND WHEN THEY HAVE ACRES OH SPIKE LEE IS QUITE ACCURATE WITH HIS BELIEFS WHITE PEOPLE JUST THINK ITS THAT EASY TO FORGET WHEN EVERYTHING IS BEING REPEATED AND BLACKS ARE STILL BEING TREATED THE SAME THEIR JUST GIVEN A LIL MORE TO EASE THEIR (WHITE PEOPLES) CONSCIENCE AND TO SHUT THEM UP.
oh my fucking god. man im black and i love spike lee movies but he is gonna set black/white relations back a hundred years. of course he's right about racism not being over in this country but saying shit like "Listen, are you black? no? than stfu and listen to me because i am. thus all your arguments are invalid and mine are automatically right." i knew he was hard core with the black power thing (so am i), but that ignorant shit doesn't help, especially when you act like an asshole.
@chefawkes ru a brotha? doesnt matter im ethi BUT First of all wats gud wichu?
So i C what u r sayin but i think u have 2 be that way cause of not a lot of these non understanding or brainwashed white people dont like to listen..so you gotta go hard..orr at least one of us (spike lee for me i guess its barrack now but i grew up on the brotha spike) needs to be an asshole. unfortunately if we all peace loving people every1 would take advantage. u know it the whites kno it AND IDGAF WHO ADMITS IT
there's other ways. Guys like Micheal Eric Dyson, Cornell West can talk about black relations from an intellectual factual way without sounding like they hate all whities. Spike's over aggressiveness, is not helping anybody. Tell MLK and Ghandi how far peace loving ppl can go. I don't mind a little Malcolm X once in a while, but even he saw the light at the end.
@chefawkes hes from NYC, and Paxman is being ridiculous akward. The president of the United States being heckled and called a liar in public by a congressman! of course it was done because he is part black! Mr Lee had to answer the same obvious question twice, I would have flipped too. If you are really black you will know there are experiences that we go through that white people just don't understand or even believe are true. Wake up!
@chefawkes With all due respect, I think they (white people) can never truely empathise with the black experience. Like I cannot imagine what its like to be a victim of sexism. Look at Paxman as he asks the question about a post racial America, he cannot believe racism still exist because he never has, or ever will be a victim of it. And to be honest black people need to be more focused on self empowerment rather than trying to make people understand our ills.
i hear you. I'd agree that they can never truly understand, but they don't need to. They just need to take our word for it. As many white ppl have. Look up Tim Wise one of the best anti racism speakers in the country, a white man.
Being a dick like Spike is. And making foolish arguments "im black, so you shut up and listen" only makes it harder for other races to join the cause. Self empowerment is important, but if u don't think we could use allies your wrong.
@chefawkes There are Billions of black people in the world. BILLIONS! the allies we need are ourselves. Lupe Fiasco "All black everything" check it out. Respect is mutual thing. When paxman acts correctly, so will his 'guests'
hey spike good ur a great man. i admire ur work. i remember u spoke out on a situ in regards 2 my brother and a kobe bryant issue yrs ago. u had a coloum in the phila daily news speaking on kobe about how he should have supp his friend. and till this day the piece of shit kobe didnt reach out 2 my bro even tho kobe knows they were 2gether at the time of the robbery. thanx 2 the kobe asshole my bro cant get a good job cause of the robbery on his record. anyway good job spike
He's an arrogant motherfucker but he's still an amazing filmmaker.
