White liberals have been very good to Spike Lee, pouring money and praise upon him in return for the excruciatingly politically correct movies he directs. Here he returns the favor exactly as we have come to expect:
Spike Lee went on a long-winded rant against gentrification in New York City on Tuesday night when he was asked to argue against the development of poorer neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Harlem. …
Lee pointed the finger at white New Yorkers who have moved into historically black neighborhoods and changed the environment, arguing that those changes have caused the areas to evolve into something completely different.
This avatar of the enlightened liberal establishment shares his sophisticated wisdom:
“Then comes the mother*****’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here. You just can’t come and bogart.”
I’ll bet you didn’t know the New York City area was originally settled by Africans.
“There were brothers playing mother*****’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud.”
The constant sophomoric use of obscene language is so that other liberals can identify him as genuine.
Lee told a story about how a party in Fort Greene park was proposed in honor of [homosexual child molester] Michael Jackson when the singer died but the plan got nixed after residents complained that there would be too much garbage.
‘Garbage? Have you seen Fort Greene Park in the morning? It’s like the mother*****’ Westminster Dog Show. There’s 20,000 dogs running around. Whoa. So we had to move it to Prospect Park!’ Lee said. …
‘You can’t just come in when people have a culture that’s been laid down for generations and you come in and now s*** gotta change because you’re here? Get the f*** outta here. Can’t do that!’
Send in your welfare money, white oppressor, but you stay out of our culturally enriched, racially homogeneous slums!
By the way, Lee has lived on the Upper East Side with his wealthy white admirers since 2000. If anyone could be phonier than his fans, it could only be Spike Lee himself.
Spike Lee rants about gentrification saying black culture in New York is being erased by white residents ‘Christopher Columbus syndrome’
Spike .... tolerance and diversity bro!
I agree with him.
I’m fine with that. Lets just make sure our white tax dollars don’t go “into” those neighborhoods anymore either.
I advise most BLACK people to get out of black neighborhoods as well!
What does “historically black” mean? Does it mean that Africans settled this land before the Dutch?
Spike Lee, champion of apartheid. Go figure.
Damn Whiteys, makin’ property values too......high!
I don't want to work.
I jes wanna bang on de drum all day.
I guess that is why the opriginal settler named it ‘New York” after that ancient african tribal village of “York”
I agree Mr. Spike. The reverse should also be true. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Open borders and all that.
Careful what you wish for or I’ll just keep my HVAC business out of black neighborhoods.
“Sorry your house is cold sir, Spike Lee told me to stay out of your neighborhood..”
Racist speech is racist speech. I don’t care if you are white, black, yellow brown or a 5’ midget
What is surprising about this is that anyone is surprised by this.
I thought segregation was a bad thing?
He opposes integration?
