Film director Spike Lee wore a jacket to the NBA All-Star Game with a message demanding slavery reparations.
Cameras caught the message as Lee stood on the sidelines during Sunday’s game while he enjoyed his courtside seat, which reportedly ran for up to $57,000 per ticket.
“We wan out 40 acres and a mule,” the message read. “Yes, reparations, no subterfuge.”
The Do The Right Thing director has been an advocate of slavery reparations for blacks for years. Lee has even added the concept of slavery reparations into at least one of his films. The theme was reportedly a part of his post Viet Nam War film Da 5 Bloods.

He should reparate the money people paid to see his crap movies.
You can only get the mules’ descendants.
Spike Lee gets forty acres and a mule, same as everybody else.
Up to him to make a go of it. I suspect Spike Lee lacks the skill set to even grub a living from the soil. Mule or no mule.
Exactly.
If he wants reparations so bad, let’s see him go to Africa and ask the Africans to pay up.
I’m just going to go ahead and say - “without evidence” - that more black men appreciate Donald J Trump than Spike Lee.
Amen
Self parody.
So am I. Anyone who has been a slave should get reparations from whomever enslaved him. Neither class of person is still living from the times slavery existed in the United States; however, that may not be true of recent emigrants.
Besides, my family didn't immigrate to the US until after the Civil War.
I want reparations for a thousand years o Muslim piracy and enslavements of my ancestors.
Most of those Muslims were from Africa, so Africans should pay my reparations. /S
This is a stupid idea. If they had stayed in Africa, most of them would have been killed, and a fair number eaten. Most of these people would not be alive if their ancestors had ended up in Brazil or the Caribbean, where 95% of the slaves died without descendants.
It was more economic, in those places, to work the slaves to death than it was to allow them to breed more slaves.
The United States treated slaves better than the vast majority of countries in the world.
and WHO, does he imagine, owes any reparations to anybody since NO slave exists in these United States of America that we know of and NO slave owner exists in THESE United States of America that we know of? no taxpayer is responsible for the slavery of generations ago so spike...foad.
Translation: Give me an NBA Team.
I see what you did there....
Mules are unable to reproduce, therefore would have no descendants. Mules are the result of a mating of a horse stallion and a jenny donkey. The reverse cross, a jack donkey and a horse mare, is called a hinny, and is largely inferior to a mule in every way.
Go get it from the DNC.
Well, I want all the money back that was paid into education to try and lift your people up. I want MOST of the WIC and SNAP back also.
bttt
He wouldn’t know which end of the mule to harness.
IMHO, lead currency would be appropriate if given with alacrity!
