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 knows his people are ignorant, stupid, no impulse control. This is to deflect from that...inferiority complex.
None of them would do anything with either the 40 acres or the mule. You gotta feed and take care of the mule too. They don’t have great modern track records of taking care of anything, very well.
Pay those reparations to your black homies Spike, for your black African ancestors who captured their neighbors, and sold them to the white slavers.
Sorry spike, the gravy train just got derailed.
Pay them yourself, rich man.
I am all for 40 acres and a mule .... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CONGO. They only have to go there and stay.
How much is spikee worth again? 🖕
Spike Lee is from Brooklyn, a place not known for agriculture and definitely too far north for cotton. When there was farming, the farmers used draft horses and not mules, which were more common in the South.
Spike, we’ll buy you your 40 acres and a mule, they will be waiting for you in Africa.
Give him reparations by paying for his one way ticket to the Congo.
Free return to Africa, if they will take him.
A washed up show biz type found a way to get a little bit of media attention.
They owe US!
Doesn't sound like he needs reparations. What kind of moron spends that kind of money to watch a game?
That little guy is a huge PITA.
“...If he wants reparations so bad, let’s see him go to Africa and ask the Africans to pay up....”
Reparatshuns, huh?
Give him his reparashuns: EXACTLY what was taken away from em: a loincloth, a primitive spear and a slow, one-way, boat trip back to the mother country...NEVER TO RETURN.
Reparations was paid in full by the deaths of many a good man and woman, both black and white, in the civil war to gain their freedom.... Reparations, my arse.
Spike Lee was a slave?
Well said.
