Is this a parody or what?
“And why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better?”
An influx of taxpayers and decline of leeches might have something to do with it...
To Spike Lee: Those neighborhoods were white before they became black (mostly because of black violence!)
“New York’s black culture being erased by white residents”
I assume that’s code for property values going up?
I never liked him, and I like him less now.
If white people move in, it’s criticized by the race hustlers as “gentrification”. When white people move out, it’s criticized as “white flight”. Apparently, anything that white people do is seen as a form of oppression. The race hustlers should just be honest with themselves and everyone else and admit that they just don’t like white people.
At a time that MOST black babies conceived in NYC, the problem is GENTRIFICATION...? WOW.
If he still lives Brooklyn why doesn’t he LIVE THERE?
Yet, he’s not in jail for threatening to kill the questioner.
In 1973, the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX changed overnight due to “white flight” when the almigthy DISD decided that the poor widdle black kids needed to go to the big rich (aka middle class) white schools and the well educated wealthy (same middle class) kids needed to be bussed to the dregs of black schools outside their neighborhoods. Now days, no one would be caught out past high noon on some streets there. What does that tell you, Spike, huh?
There are no "historically black neighborhoods" in NYC - not even Harlem - that weren't previously white neighborhoods.
Spike Lee likes to talk about history a lot, but doesn't like to read it.
“Boys in the hood”
Spike must think its a comedy movie.
What I got our of his racist rant is that he thinks blacks makes for bad neighborhoods and white make for safer neighborhoods.
White removes blight....
Don’t understand the problem.
No one’s telling em they can’t peddle drugs and practice acts of violence elsewhere....
Poor Spike wants to go back to the Reagan years, he is just to stupid to know it.
Preserve the crime-infested ghettos!
“’When you see white mothers pushing their babies in strollers, three oclock in the morning on 125th Street, that must tell you something.”
Why, yes it does Mr. Spike but I don’t think you want to know what it is.
So how would the media cover it if some WHITE guy responded to Spike Lee in a public forum by cutting him off and saying “let me just kill you right now”?
Hmmm... lemme think...
He’s just pissed because he has a dogs name.
“There goes the neighborhood!”
why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better?’ he said.
Maybe that’s a question Spike should think about,
real hard.
‘When you see white mothers pushing their babies in strollers, three oclock in the morning on 125th Street, that must tell you something.’
Yeah Spike, it’s safe.
