If there is such a thing as a neoconservative black intellectual, McWhorter would be it.
Sadly he voted for Obama because he’s BLACK!
I agree. I’ve got an audio series he did on “The Story of Language.” He’s knows all kinds of facts, and I like his sense of humor.
He can’t seem to see past Obama, though.
Spike Lee is a hipster himself...
I agree, they shouldn't. Neither should Blacks or Hispanics or Asians or anyone else in the universe.
And of course if section 8 housing is forced on white neighborhoods , whites are also supposed to respect the black culture moving in and lowering housing prices..

Is there cavalry at Fort Green to protect the white settlers?
You can’t win with aggrieved racists like Lee. No mater what, you are going to be in the wrong.
“Its interesting that the director of the richest oeuvre of black films in the history of the medium doesnt understand what the Civil Rights revolution was for.”
Yawn. Lee has never been held to an adults standard of conduct or thinking. He never will be.
"Spike Lee is too mainstream."
Spike Lee has tons of money and everything he wants politically. Being angry about it says a lot about him.
A person could call me a “honkey” all day everyday and it wouldn’t offend me in the slightest.
As I recall, it was Bill Clinton who started the trend by putting his office in Harlem.
"Shhh, do you hear that? The drumming stopped. They're getting ready to attack." Every jungle movie ever.
Race relations have gone to hell in my lifetime. I remember the days of segregation and the good and bad attributes associated with such a system. I welcomed integration hoping it would resolve the injustices the black community had endured under segregation. It did not because integration was applied through forced legislative means by liberal politicians. Overnight, black and white communities were told how they should act and think regarding each other. No legislation can force you to accept another person if you don’t agree with their character and values. The only successful integration of the races has occurred between people of like character and values. Which brings us full circle except segregation is now defined in terms of liberal vs conservative values.
Conservatives of any race will always find in common values a sort of equilibrium between the races. Liberals will always disagree with conservative values in the name of diversification and by using legislative overreach hope to force their values upon those who do not agree.
All this to say, I don’t think I like Spike Lee or his character, value, and attitude. I don’t have to agree with him, or him with me. That’s the way it is. There is no racism or hatred intended. We just aren’t equal. Created equal but diversified by ideology.
Tell that to the illegals and Muslims.
Forget Ft. Greene. Your dollar will go much farther in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Buy what remaining unrenovated brownstones are left and watch real estate prices double and triple over the next decade.
Has he tried saying this to La Raza?
OK Spikey boy. But don't complain when some honkey does a driveby on your crib.
