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 lets all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate.
“Lets 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.”

Spike Lee is a current racist complaining about past racism. The maniac left wing nuts like to believe because your black you can’t be racist, but nothing further from the truth can there be. Spike Lee should ‘do the right thing’ and give up his hate based upon color.

Spike Lee believes he should speak for all black people.

Picking cotton is building a country?The slave based economy of the Antebellum South was obviously destroyed in the Civil War, so this notion that one particular ethnic group "built the country" is ludicrous.

Someday we'll prove "Charlottesville" was staged AND funded by democrat community organizers. There is NOT one thing about the Charlottesville 'protest' that has anything to do with the style of conservative protests.

Picking cotton was not “building America”
Turning the crank on the cotton gin that made the harvest of cotton a much more valuable industrial product probably did more to EXTEND the servitude known as “picking cotton” for many more years.
Few people pick cotton by hand any more. Rather, the process has be mechanized by use of specialized self-propelled machinery that plucks the ripened boll off the now-dead cotton plant, and catches it in a large basket on the back of the machine, which is dumped after a full load is accumulated, and transported to the local ginning mill, for processing into fiber and cottonseed. The fiber is sent elsewhere to be spun into cotton thread, from which it is woven into various grades of cotton fabric. The cottonseed is run through a cracking mill, and an expellor/solvent process, in which the oil in the seed is extracted and used in making foodstuffs, with the remaining meal ground into cattle feed.
Cotton is a big segment of agricultural production, but it was not made that way by the back-breaking trudge on foot though fields dragging a sack. It was by the mechanization and expanding scientific culture of cotton.

“.... make the moral choice.....” This will be the DNC theme for 2020; if you support POTUS, you are a hater.
They want the moral choice to be NOT POTUS. These are the same people who want abortions up to and after birth; who think it is a good idea for people to drag their babies and toddlers through Mexico to come here and scam our taxpayers for every last dime.

Spike and his many hate filled pals are the true modern slaveholders working as hard as possible to keep black people from looking to everyone but themselves to move ahead in society.

Does anyone watch the Oscars anymore? It seems like the only time you hear about them is when someone is accusing them of being racist. They have descended from glittering special event to farce. Someone should put this program out of its misery.

I just saw his minute in the sun on the news.
In that clown suit he was wearing the dumb-azz looked like he was Driving Ms. Daisy.
I thought that he was Morgan Freeman.

Heather Heyer shouldnt have been protesting in the street.
How does Spike Lee feel about a liberal white lady bleeding out after being ran over while protesting in traffic (a.k.a.-BREAKING THE LAW) for the “rights” of people like him?

Career Racist. Without his racism, he is nothing. There is (a) class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs
partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances,
because they do not want to lose their jobs. ...
There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who dont want the patient to get well,
because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living,
but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.
