Filmmaker Spike Lee posted a photo to Instagram of himself holding up a pair of custom Black History Month Air Jordan 1s, in an apparent show of protest against President Donald Trump. One shoe featured the anti-Trump slogan “RESIST” while the other shoe read “REPEL AGENT ORANGE,” a moniker popularized by rapper Busta Rhymes, who referred to Trump as “President Agent Orange” during a performance at the 59th annual Grammy Awards this month.
“RESIST – REPEL AGENT ORANGE. DATS DA PUTIN TRUTH, RUTH. YA-DIG? SHO-NUFF. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY,” Lee wrote in the caption below the photo. “Shout Out To My Man Busta Rhymes. Special Shout Out To Tip, Ali And The Rest Of The Tribe. Artwork By Danielle Mastrion.”
Last February, the Chi-Raq director called Trump’s presidential candidacy “madness” and said his election “could be the end of us all.”
In January, Lee blacklisted R&B and soul singer-songwriter Chrisette Michele’s music after the Grammy-winner agreed to sing at Trump inauguration.
“I Wuz Thinkin’ ’bout Using Chrisette’s Song- BLACK GIRL MAGIC In My Netflix Series SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT…. NOT ANYMORE,” Lee wrote on Instagram.
Lee is now soliciting musical submissions from independent artists for his upcoming She’s Gotta Have It TV show — the same series for which he barred Michele’s music.

“... BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY”
Right, how about someone liquidate Spike Lee by any means necessary!
I guess Nike has to go on the **** list.
Spike Lee is a klan grand wizard - just different colored suit and skin.
Oh they’ve been on it for quite some time now.
Whatever.
Oh goodie, it’s Likes Pee again. Always irrelevant, forever bitter.
Us?
Sorry piker.
You're own your own.
.
What a dork.
Nike is too narrow for my feet, and they tear up easily. Worth about as much as Spike Lee and Busta Rhymes. New Balance and Adidas any day for me. If I dress out urban-casual after work, I go for all black Chuck Taylor lowtops or Guess hightops. Never will I ever rock Nike hightops.
Heel, Spike!

Guess Spike is telling all the unemployed blacks to stay unemployed and resist taking any of the jobs Trump creates.
Somehow, though, Spike does not resist taking whities’ money for his films.
Poor black is not for me but only for thee.
I’m surprised this guy makes a living.
Spike Lee is a total racist a**hole.
He’s got nuthin’
No talent, no cred.
Just another race hustler.
B,b,but his name is Spike! Doesn’t that mean he’s cool or sumtin’?
Just another BLM loser.
