Spike Lee is an overrated director first off, he has always been a poor filmmaker.

Gonna disagree.

I have enjoyed these movies:

He got game
Jungle fever
do the right thing
25th hour
inside man


just to name a few

My favorite movie that I've seen him make was Do the Right Thing.......it shows discrimination from every walk of life, & that's the reality of our world, there will always by discrimination whether we want it or not, nothing will change.......as the years have gone on from the 1950's, 60's & so on, it has gotten better, but it will never go away, but its 100 times better than it was in the 1970's, etc........

And Spike Lee IMO now a days is acting stupid, he's trying to start a fire & is telling people its not his fault.



25th hour was a good movie as well.

Spike Lee thinks the Bush administration planted bombs to blow up the levies around New Orleans following Katrina

Spike Lee is as dumb as they come

Spike Lee is as dumb as a rock and an inflammatory asshole.

He always has one my favorite/most underrated actors in his movies. John Turturro. Dude is a fucking brilliant actor.


I liked all of those. Add on Clockers. Malcolm X. Black KKK also all damn good movies.

No one gonna call the number? C'mon

Curiosity got me.

Called it, Goes to a recording of dial tone then asks to "reenter your PIN". Tried a couple, couldnt guess a correct PIN.

Google result... A Landline number from Quincy or Cambridge Massachusetts or a VOIP line.

Most of his films are racially motivated........& he's definitely a race baiter.

Racially motivated maybe but you have New York in your location and made the post about Do The Right Thing being your favorite Spike movie lmfao but you call him a race baiter? He stands for his own race in black people and you guys consider that race baiting lmfao. How is Do The Right Thing your favorite Spike movie?

His movies are controversial regarding race. He usually tells a story from a perspective of a black person 99% of the time, usually in the hood. What do you think it is going to be about? Going to church?

That explains blowing up the levies I suppose

And now that you mention it, many African Americans are very religious

So if a white man growing up in the mid west & his view of other races like black people is negative......can that same white man make movies about how black people in his view have made white peoples lives difficult? Or is that race baiting?

He's doing the exact same thing......I stated that Do the Right Thing was made where it shows all colors hating on everyone, its not one sided like most of his movies are now a days......& you can see where he's going with it in his speeches.

You have your view on the world & many of us have ours...........& I hope Trump wins again in 2020 so the liberal left can have a complete meltdown & show their true colors.

Lmao it’s not the same thing at all. There is actually messages in Spike Lees movies. I think everyone would agree the KKK were racist. How is making fun of racists....racist? Lol. What you need to do is open your eyes. Do the Right thing is justified in your eyes because it’s about all colors hating eachother lol. That’s why you like it and why it’s fair to you lol

Clint Eastwood does it all the time. It might be more race baiting when you are doing it to a race that you aren’t. For example, if Spike Lee were to make movies about racism with all white people and with no black people involved....I’m not sure how it can be looked at in the same sense as his other movies. Yet Clint Eastwood has to fight an Asian mafia lol while protecting some poor Asian. Had to battle miniority drug dealers in his latest flick....but when spike lee makes a movie about a black guy trying to sound white it’s race baiting.

Didnt quentin make Django? Uh yeah.

Fuck the liberals. Fuck the republicans. And fuck Trump.


To call it race baiting is like saying racial tensions never existed. Most of Spikes movies have something to do with racial tension. Except Spike does it in platforms that are messages and lessons. Not just for your entertainment like Clint lol.
