Filmmaker Spike Lee reacts to charges of "elitism" leveled at Barack Obama.

-----

Spike Lee's new film, Miracle at St. Anna, chronicles the story of four black American soldiers who are members of the US Army as part of the all African-American 92nd "Buffalo Soldier" Division stationed in Tuscany, Italy during World War II. Based on the novel and with screenplay by James McBride, it is a story about redemption and triumph over the bleakest of experiences.

The book, Miracle at St. Anna, The Motion Picture, is not only a visual tribute to this epic, but also to the countless African American soldiers who risked their lives for a country in which they were treated with less respect than the enemy they were fighting.

The book includes costume designs, storyboard sketches, personal text by Spike Lee, a full script book, and archival material from the Second World War.

Spike Lee and James McBride will be in conversation with Paul Holdengräber to discuss this historical American story that exposes racism, guilt, courage, revenge, and forgiveness - NYPL

Spike Lee is an Emmy Award winning, and Academy Award-nominated American film director, producer, writer, and actor noted for his films dealing with controversial social and political issues. Lee also teaches film at Columbia University. His production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, has produced over thirty-five films since 1983, including Do the Right Thing, She's Gotta Have it, Malcolm X, and 25th Hour.

@hoppercap , the worst thing about white liberals is that many are really racist wolves in sheep's clothing..

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

@flyinghotwing yup

[dnt211]

@hoppercap I wonder how much of a white "liberal" you could be with that perspective. Disagree, be annoyed; I don't care. But at the very least be aware that your trivializing "black intellectuals" is racist which is inherently contradictory to your so-called progressive views.

Boy, Spike is one angry little chimp...lol

[flyinghotwing]

obama is a puppet, the clintons are crooks, bush is an idiot, etc...all presidents, mixed race ones too, are working for the corporate crooks and banks of Wall Street...there is no such thing as a democracy, so sure they change the rules, they financed the Russians during the Cold War too! People need to wake up..the only man within range of the white house ( only within range b'cz he will not get there) is Ron Paul, who wants to end the Fed, and stop the military war machinery!

@O2streaming What does it mean to be a Hamite ? AFRICAN !

[O2streaming]

@truthhitmanisback Please clarify if you will...

"DNA" evidence shows that the old idea of family descent, now apply only to shared culture. So, you must mean Obama shares the culture of a Hamite, and therefore, he is Hamite'ish, right? But, then, what does it mean, 'to be' a Hamite?
