President Trump slammed Oscar winner Spike Lee for making a “racist hit” on him during his Academy Award acceptance speech Sunday night.

“Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!,” Trump tweeted on Monday morning.

Lee was accepting an Oscar for best-adapted screenplay for his movie “BlackKklansman” when he referred to the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

“Before the world tonight, I give praise to my ancestors who built our country, along with the genocide of our native people,” the “She’s Gotta Have It” director said. “When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment. The 2020 election is around the corner — let’s all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate.”

“Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there,” he added.

Lee accepted the award with co-writers David Rabinowitz, Charlie Wachtel and Kevin Willmott.

The movie, based in the 1970s, follows a black police officer in Colorado who dupes the Ku Klux Klan into thinking he’s a white man.

It closes with images taken from real footage of the “Unite the White” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017 that led to the death of Heather Heyer.

She was killed when a Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters.

Trump was highly criticized for his remarks about the white supremacist rally, especially the comment “you had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

Little Spikey is a little pimp with a, as the liberals like to say, “very punchable face.”

Career Racist. Without his racism, he is nothing.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Calculated. He should be slapping him around over other stuff but it would be non-productive. Calling Lee a racist does not effect his standing with the black voters.

Make the moral choice between love versus hate.”

I agree with Spike Lee.

The hatred which emanates from the left and liberal side of our politics, should be rejected. The hatred they display should cause all of us to be on the right side of history, and vote to reelect Trump in 2020.

I love our Presidents moxie....I’m sick of reading all the despicable hate after his tweets. The paid bashers live 24x7 a life of hate. They are sad and pathetic lemmings....

[DIRTYSECRET]

Like Smolette. Trumps reaction was measured.

I bet I hate them even more than they hate us.

And they will lose everything if they decide to dance.

He is upset about “gentrification” in his old Brooklyn neighborhood, saying these white mothers push strollers like they own the place, etc. They have no reverence for the history of the ghetto, etc.

Yet he lives in Manhattan himself. He long ago left behind his Brooklyn neighborhood. Heck, as a wealthy man himself, he could help refurbish and gentrify his old neighborhood, and invest in real estate development there. But he chooses not to, yet is critical of others who do want to renovate his old slum hangout. Go figure.

[EdnaMode]

Yup. The hate is on the left.

Spike Lee, pathetic loser & low life. It’s human scum & vermin like Spike Lee that have been in cahoots with the Democrat Party low life keeping fellow brother & sister African-Americans in economic/opportunity slavery for the last fifty years. Sad!!!

Fact is: POTUS, Trump has done more to assist and work with African-Americans in the last two years....then the Democrat Party thugs & criminals have done in the last fifty years.

That is why, so many American Blacks are now jumping on the Trump band wagon!!! The simple facts are, POTUS, Donald J. Trump loves all Americans!!!

than almost any other Pres!

At least he gave Lincoln his due.

[neverevergiveup]

Trump has also done more for African Americans in two years as President than Spike Lee has done during his entire career.

[dfwgator]

Yet he lives in Manhattan himself. He long ago left behind his Brooklyn neighborhood.

Heck, he still roots for the Knicks, even though the Nets moved to Brooklyn.

“A nazi sympathizer” ran over her?! Pathetic
