Spike Lee has attacked Hollywood studios for not including African-Americans as executives.
The director is appalled that the major studios only recruit white men and women for executive positions.
He tells the style magazine Complex, "You go to any studio, the only black guy you see is the one at the gate.'
'In Hollywood there is not one African American who is an executive that has a gatekeeper postion to greenlight a picture.'
He added, 'They will make a movie with Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx or Eddie Murphy because they can make money off of them.'
'The studios might think that there is diversity because four white women run studios.'

'They will make a movie with Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx or Eddie Murphy because they can make money off of them.' I don't know what that's such a bad thing. That's the only reason anyone every gave me a job, and I'm a white guy!

Spike should fit right in, being a weasly litle racist himself.

Spike does have a point, would a black man have approved "Brokeback Mountain?"

"He added, 'They will make a movie with Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx or Eddie Murphy because they can make money off of them.'" And they make movies with other people because they're white.
But then...there are probably many opportunities on the horizon for blacks if they're homosexual.

Another liberal whiner. "It's not that I make bad, boring movies that no one wants to see--it's that The Man is prejudiced against me! It couldn't be my fault, because
nothing is my fault! I'm a victim!"
What a sad way to live.

When a multi-millionaire claims that he isn't treated fairly by the folks who helped him make his money, what does one say?

I'm still waiting for Spike Lee, Jesse Jackass and Al Sharpton to call for an investigation of the huge racial imbalance of the players in the NBA and NFL.
