I just realized that Spike Lee is a moron! amazing, I always knew there was something about the guy....but couldn't put my finger on it and then tonight
POP!! It all became clear to me.
He's a user and an obscene opportunist and a mediocre talent at best and most of all...he's a moron! It's all clear to me now... amazing |

I realized that Spike Lee was a moron when he got all snooty in that film contest Stan Arthur was in. If Spike had picked Stan the movie would have rocked.

I think he is a phenomenal talent with extraordinary perception. He does act like a five year old at NBA games. Does this have anything to do with the Michael Jackson death? Talk about opportunists (the usual suspects) coming out of the woodwork. |

well, it was this statement about how Michael Jackson "belongs to black people"...it gets weirder, he then goes on to say that if anyone says
anything against michael black people are gonna get upset starting...NOW.
it's kind of weird, I mean michael was ostricized by so many people in the black community, particularly black activists for his ever lightening skin and his refusal to play up to racial nonsense and tensions.. but now here's spike officially pounding a flag into the still warm corpse of michael jackson and saying "all that bullshit we said, thats all over now and michael is all ours!!" ha ha ha! I thought it was very icky, almost as ghoulish as Mr Jackson sr. using the memorial ceremony to unveil his new record label... eeeew. I think what bothered me the most is that Spike is stating that from now on all the scandal and weirdness surrounding this guy is "white peoples doing"!!! And then delivering a thinly veiled threat about it!! ha ha!! what a weird guy, and what a strange and opportunistic way to react to Michaels death.... Spike needs his own dickidedia page |

I guess there are two kinds of celebraties:
Those that risked their reputations to come out and support MJ during his trial and are now, for the most part, out of sight mourning his death; and those who are trying to jump in the spotlight now because all the cameras are focused on the event, and it is so much safer to "support" and pay tribute to the dead I've had enough of the circus. |

Perhaps another side of Michael Jackson that most people have not seen? | ||

I remember reading that speech!
I'd never seen video before... Really, maybe I'm off base a bit about spike, I dont know why but that little bit he did in that interview made me furious! which is curious. but I still think he's kind of a dick. |

Spike Lee is not a moron. I am his age and get what he is talking about here. I am surprised at your offense. Especially since most of you guys are 10-15 years
younger than we are - so, I know that you can't relate to racism in the contexts and ways we actually saw and experienced it up through at least the
mid-1980s. You young guys just don't understand the type of mindset we dealt with. You'd think it was crazy, cause it is. I know, my own kids don't
understand it either and they are minorities too. But, believe me, people our age and older get where he is coming from and when someone that age calls Spike
Lee a "moron" they have more of a racist overtone of resentment, more often than not.

Spike will use hyperbole...he's kinda like the Al Sharpton of filmmakers...in that regard. But I don't think that is Spike....that is Spike doing show
biz.
In the Katie Couric piece Spike seems quite the regular guy. |

And most of us are in our fifties...Me, you, Rick, Kenny, Stan, Burdick, Doug, Dan, ....hell I don't know everyone's age but Aaron is the youngest and he may very well be the brightest and most perceptive....so that boat doesn't float. I personally think Spike is a brilliant artist. I believe I have seen all his movies and look forward to the next one. All of us know about the racial injustices that have happened and still happen. Being black and possibly a decendent of such injustice is not a license to misplace indictment and punishment such as a John Thompson who refused to recruit white basketball players or Spike Lee who will attack Clint Eastwood for being racist with absolute zero grounds for it. Clint was a star in the industry when Lee was knee high to a....scratch that. He's still knee high to a grasshopper. Clint is also a phenomenal director who deserves respect from his colleagues. Put all that aside. Spike's schpiel is indeed classless and rather childish even if you buy into all the evil white conspiracies like "the Osmonds," heh. So, yeah, those things are mutually exclusive. He can still be a moron regardless of the "facts" he is preaching. |

Chris, I think the fact that you consider that my criticism has "racist overtones" is suspect as hell.
Are you saying I can call anyone a moron..unless they are a black activist? I'm pretty liberal with my condemnation of people who annoy me or seem petty, and in this it's Spike who takes the conversation into a racial context and bastes it with bitterness. I was the desegregation generation! I, along with 17 other white students were bussed to and all black school for 4th-6th grade, we were the pilot project for desegregation of the denver public school system. Racial issues were the center of our lives for most of my public school education. And, later on I saw the shit that the Black activist Community heaped on Michael Jackson and spike even admits it momentarily but then he practically applauds a stabbing that occured on bus when a white guy insulted Michael jackson! and goes on to indicate the "you white folks better be careful because Michael is all ours ALL OF THE SUDDEN". He loves to stir racial tensions, and at times it's brilliant art, at other times it just shows what a bitter self involved little brat he can be. Is there some separate standard of consideration that you think he deserves? |
