LOL, no kidding. And here I was, giving them the benefit of the doubt until I saw their pictures!

“You can’t tell they are gay by looking at them!”

Um, yeah. Sometimes, you can!

Who wants to listen to Lee’s propaganda?

I’m guessing Spike Lee wasn’t quite the red-faced, raging, racist nut job they, in their fit of racism, presumed he must be.

I should clarify: Spike Lee has been very opinionated, very liberal, and sees things through racial lenses, and I know of no issue where he has adopted a more conservative viewpoint. But, at least in his early days he was intelligent, and he was an artist, not a propagandist.

15 minutes of fame that should have ended years ago but did not because of the racist media
