America was founded upon genocide, slavery, and theft, said Hollywood director and actor Spike Lee in a recent interview with Joe Madison on his radio show.

“The foundation of the United States of America is immoral, from the get-go. The foundation has been shaky from day one. This country was based upon the stealing of the land from native people and genocide against native people, coupled with slavery.” Spike Lee said. “Whenever this day comes, when we go back to supposed normalcy. What they called normal was abnormal.”

We’ve been patriotic for this country from day one,” said Lee of black Americans. “We’ve been here 401 years and we still haven’t got, you know, a full citizenship. If that was the case, we wouldn’t be getting shot down in the street left and right.”

The death of George Floyd is linked to the enslavement of blacks, stated Lee. “We have to fundamentally change everything [from] top to bottom. This gap that was exposed — not to the have-nots, but to the haves — has to be shrunk across the board, health care, economics, education. We cannot go back to normal, because normal was effed up.”

Yawwwnnn, this “privileged” agitator has been at it for 30+ years while laughing all the way to the bank. Division is big business for elite liberals.

That is an idiotic statement from Lee.

You had Egyptians vs. Nubians, Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, Vikings, Mongols, Islam being spread by the sword, the various tribes of Africa, Aztecs, Incas, Indian tribes of North and South America, Polynesians, ...

Maybe Antarctica is the only place that wasn't founded on genocide, slavery, theft etc.. Nope, land disputes there too -- Chile and Argentina says each one is involved in theft of their piece of ice.
