Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,†filmmaker Spike Lee said he believes Americans are not more outraged by the daily gun violence in Chicago because it doesn’t receive the high-profile attention like Sandy Hook, Charleston and San Bernardino.
When asked why he believes Chicago has such tremendous gun violence Lee said, “I think part of it has to do with that Chicago is America’s biggest segregated city and I think that has to do a lot with it. And people are just thrown to one side of town and left to their own devices.â€

Or is he simply one of those elitist blacks who "got theirs" and is only speaking out to keep both his street cred and his seat at the table of the next liberal cocktail party.
No, we can’t talk about Chicago without being called “racist.”
There fixed it for ya Spike you dip.
Spike is wee weed up that his film is not a hit like Hamilton.
Segregation in the north?!?!?!
Who’d ever believe that.
He’s right about the first part but wrong on the Sandy Hook comparison. If it was black school children killed like that we would be just as outraged.
Spike Lee: Segregation makes black men shoot other blacks.
Gee, that must be why other groups like the Amish and Hasidic Jews kill each other in the thousands every year. Oh, wait...
Spike, which political party has been running Chicago for decades?
Spike’s got a big problem. He’s a very big racist.
He thinks we don’t care about the loss of life in Chicago.
Spike, we have tried to address things about the African American community, and how they are destroying the African American family and culture.
Did you listen? No, you simply thought in terms of racism and dismissed our concerns.
So F U Spike. Wallow in the Chicago death and destruction until you finally decide to pull your head out.
Whites are not your problem.
Your brothers are.
Too many of them are too interested in killing each other, and failing their children and the women who carried them in their womb.
Deal with it, pinhead.
LOL what a maroon
Thanks for the race card and a Merry Christmas to you..
Ho I needed a larf!
Spike is also opposed to Gentrification, you can't have it both ways, Spike.
Did spike say when was the last time Obama sent his attorney general to investigate gun violence in Chicago? Or last time Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton showed up? When was the last time Spike Lee led a march to stop black on black violence in Chicago? Why is this a white folks problem?
...”people are just thrown to one side of town and left to their own devices.”
And “their own devices” just happen to be murder.
We talk about it all the time. The leftist Dems do not. Good people among the animals deserve to be armed and be able to protect themselves.
I care about all the black on black and black on everyone else crime, but that is a failure at the family level enabled more so by our government.
Hmm, could it be all those white Democrats who have run the political machine in Chicago for decades don’t have and have never had the best intentions for their fellow Democrats who are black? No, how could this be?
Well said.
” and left to their own devices.”
Infernal devices!
I knew this was going to happen and Rush predicted it as well when Obama ran for President. Race relations were going to go into the toilet because blacks were going to get the idea that there’s a black man in the WH and they can now do whatever the Hell they wanted.
Hey Bich!
Go hang out in the South Side of Chicago and see who shoots you. Then ask them why they did it.
