Spike Lee: America Was Built on Genocide, Slavery, Theft
Breitbart ^ | 24JUN2020 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 06/24/2020 10:35:48 AM PDT by Signalman

America was founded upon genocide, slavery, and theft, said Hollywood director and actor Spike Lee in a recent interview with Joe Madison on his radio show.

“The foundation of the United States of America is immoral, from the get-go. The foundation has been shaky from day one. This country was based upon the stealing of the land from native people and genocide against native people, coupled with slavery.” Spike Lee said. “Whenever this day comes, when we go back to supposed normalcy. What they called normal was abnormal.”

We’ve been patriotic for this country from day one,” said Lee of black Americans. “We’ve been here 401 years and we still haven’t got, you know, a full citizenship. If that was the case, we wouldn’t be getting shot down in the street left and right.”

The death of George Floyd is linked to the enslavement of blacks, stated Lee. “We have to fundamentally change everything [from] top to bottom. This gap that was exposed — not to the have-nots, but to the haves — has to be shrunk across the board, health care, economics, education. We cannot go back to normal, because normal was effed up.”

America was built with blood, sweat and tears. The Constitution was the beginning. States were still Free and independent.

It's a magnificent monument to those who laid the foundation.

It's like a kaleidoscope. Every twist gives you a different picture.

What about the death of Tony Timpa? What was the root cause of that Mr. Lee?

Spike Lee has had false assumptions about reality for all his adult life.

Yes, that is a part of it. And what country wasn’t? Spike needs to expose himself to more history. He’s like a guy that says Porsches are garbage because he knows a guy that had one that had a wheel fall off.

No car manufacturer is perfect and no country is perfect, but I’d rather drive a Porsche than a Yugo.

Gee Spike - if it wasn’t for America you’d likely be living in squalor in some s**thole African nation. That is if you hadn’t already been killed by one of you brethren.

It was built on determination, sacrifice, and self-reliance. Something none of you communist wannabes are very into these days.

***He can easily find out what Indian tribes once occupied the land***

That would be the tribes at the Tierra del Fuego in Argentina. Found the new world, then pushed out by others who were then pushed out who were then also pushed out.

Without the arrival of the White Tribes from Europe the Continental North American dominate tribe might be Eskimos or some other tribe still in East Russia or China.

Well, Spike, it's time you tell blacks to stop shooting each other. But that would be hard work, a lot harder than stirring the sh*t and making excuses.

No Spike it was founded on freedom. What you and your goons are proposing is slavery. If you do not understand that you are already a slave.

So why didn’t Spike change his last name given the whole Robert E. thing I wonder? Inquiring mind wants to know.
