Idiot Spike Lee: “The United States Is the Most Violent Country in the History of Civilization”

LEE: Here’s my, my take in it. I think that, as film makers, as politicians, as artists, we have to understand that all, whatever we do goes out in the universe. And you should be aware of what you’re doing. And you cannot just say “Well I just did this and, and my – had nothing to do with what happened.” That’s, that’s not, that’s not the case.

His uninformed view of the United States being the most violent country in the history of civilization aside, He seems willing to admit Hollywood has some responsibility for their contribution to the coarsening of society.

“they are the ones who emptied the asylums decades ago and made it practically impossible for anyone to intervene prior to a psychotic explosion.”

Bingo. By those actions they also created the problem of “homelessness” that takes up so much of their sympathies these days. Liberals have mastered the task of paving the road to hell.

[ArrogantBustard]

Somehow, in the last 30 years, it has become fashionable in some quarters to absolve Hitler of about half of the mass industrialized murder committed at his command, and to style him and his National Socialism as “right wing”. We’re at the point now where a lot of folks don’t know the truth, don’t know that they don’t know the truth, and are therefor unaware of the disinformation’s origin.

I believe there is a dangerous and growing leftist connivance, helped by a cabal of nefarious folks like 0bama, and enabled by thousands, even millions, of ordinary leftists. Each time some opportunistic crisis event occurs, they for the most part unconsciously, move as one to raise the bar attacking reason and the American society and culture. So, every few months, the high water mark raises a notch. Things like this happen normally all the time anyways; but when a marxist president is on the loose with his minions, the tide goes up, as opposed to a GWB who would be lowering these high tides.

These are dangerous times for American Liberty...

Idiot needs a good a$$ whooping for that statement

[Mr. Mojo]

The U.S. isn't even the most violent country in No. America.

But Spike Lee is likely the worst director in the history of cinema.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

We're not even in the top five in this hemisphere at this moment. But as someone said up-thread, pointing out the truth to someone dedicated to avoiding it at all costs is an exercise in futility.

I guess the tens of millions killed by Nazi Germany, Red China, and the Soviet Union don’t count. Nor do the hundreds of thousands of Union troops killed during the Civil War.

[popdonnelly]

I wonder why Spike doesn’t say something like this when his brothers and sisters are resorting to killing?

[SaraJohnson]

It must be difficult for Spike going through life so ignorant of the world he lives in. Brainwashed diversity lefties are insane.

[brytlea]

I bet he never bothers to even think.

[aces]

Yep, at best..

The truth is that the United States is the most tolerant country in the history of civilization, only the latest evidence of which is the fact that we allow a jackass like Spike Lee to live and make a fortune here, in spite of his obvious hatred for the country that made his success possible as well as his contempt for the people that helped enrich him.

[GOPJ]

Lee should also look around his own country - the most violent sections of the United States are populated by minorities - a problem he could actually help with...

Well, a problem he could help with IF he realized many inner city blacks don't read history books and almost never interact with 'white' people - and that maybe, just maybe - there's some incentive problems within the black culture.
