Director Spike Lee, in a recent interview with CNN, called the United State Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling declaring a race-based redistricting map in Louisiana an “attack on voters.”
“They’re going to be movies and documentaries about this period of the United States of America. With this guy in the White House — just down the block, right?” Spike Lee said of President Donald Trump. “It’s not the first this country’s been through stuff. And it’s found a better way to live and we gotta work at it.”
“Let’s realize, black folks, we got a lot of our stuff through voting,” the Malcolm X and BlacKkKlansman director said. “So, you know what the game plan is when you see this attack on voters. So, we know what they’re doing.”
Writing for the majority in the case, Louisiana v. Callais, No. 24–109 in the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Samuel Alito accused lower courts of enforcing race-based discrimination as a mean to eradicate race-based discrimination. “Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was designed to enforce the Constitution — not collide with it. Unfortunately, lower courts have sometimes applied this Court’s §2 precedents in a way that forces States to engage in the very race-based discrimination that the Constitution forbids,” Justice Alito wrote.
“This tension between §2 and the Constitution came to a head when Louisiana redrew its congressional districts after the 2020 census. In 2022, a federal judge in the Middle District of Louisiana held that the map adopted by the state legislature likely violated §2 because it did not include an additional majority-black district,” Justice Alito explained. “But when the State drew a new map that contained such a district, its new map was challenged as a racial gerrymander.

Just another race-baiting chump that makes sh__ty movies.
“Let’s realize, black folks, we got a lot of our stuff through voting,”
The large majority of blacks simply have been captured by the leftist welfare state and had their votes bought.
If the USA ever returned to a non-printed/fiat currency and a Federal Govt that could not run deficits at 7% of GDP year-in-year-out supporting the vast, bloated, woke welfare state - IMHO blacks would suddenly become FAR WORSE off than they were in 1950.
That’s what Lee actually said, but not THAT word . . . . THEN he’d be just another racist democrat and lose whatever standing he thinks he has.
...and I give a crap what Spike Lee has to say because...
He gots a Jungle Fever. See a Doctor. Stat!
If Spike Lee were white, I wonder if he would have had a “celebrated” directing career, or if he’d have wound up just another Hollywood Wannabe working at Starbucks, and bitter about the “big break” that never came?
Where dos Scorsese stand in it? Tarantino? Any other directors? Clownworld...
Blacks are the biggest racists in America.
No, Spike, you got a lot of OUR STUFF by voting in crooks and con men ...............
How many “places” does Spike Lee own?
The way Section 2 was being interpreted amounted to a mandatory Constitutional gerrymander in favor of Democrats. That’s why they’re so ticked off.
And....?
Too bad a white man can’t make a movie about Democrat gerrymandering eliminating all Republican house seats in New England.
Take a hike Spike. Make a movie.... you haven’t made a good one in thirty years.
Spike misspelled CHEATERS.
Did he say this before or after his 20th bong hit?
This scumbag didn’t say American voters, didn’t say citizens.
No, he just whined about how ineligible “people” cannot so easily get a mailin ballot filled out in their name.
America has let his talents earn him millions, and yet all he sees is skin color.
Why do most hollywood whores continue to spit on those people that have made them rich?
