President Trump slammed Oscar winner Spike Lee for making a “racist hit” on him during his Academy Award acceptance speech Sunday night.

“Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!,” Trump tweeted on Monday morning.

Lee was accepting an Oscar for best-adapted screenplay for his movie “BlackKklansman” when he referred to the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

“Before the world tonight, I give praise to my ancestors who built our country, along with the genocide of our native people,” the “She’s Gotta Have It” director said. “When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment. The 2020 election is around the corner — let’s all mobilize and be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate.”

“Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there,” he added.

Lee accepted the award with co-writers David Rabinowitz, Charlie Wachtel and Kevin Willmott.

The movie, based in the 1970s, follows a black police officer in Colorado who dupes the Ku Klux Klan into thinking he’s a white man.

It closes with images taken from real footage of the “Unite the White” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017 that led to the death of Heather Heyer.

She was killed when a Nazi sympathizer drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters.

Trump was highly criticized for his remarks about the white supremacist rally, especially the comment “you had people that were very fine people, on both sides.”

Spike Lee lives in a mansion with a view of Central Park but complains about gentrification. Why did he move to ritzy Manhattan instead of staying in his old neighborhood, huh?
What a hypocrite.

Then we had to listen to Michelle Obama complain she lived in a house built by slaves.

Was slave labor used to build the White House? I don’t know but Michelle got mileage out of that political statement.

And actually, the White House was gutted and completely rebuilt from 1948 to 1952. So today’s White House was built by free men, probably all union labor.

If, as spike claims, AAs built this country.....what’s the excuse for the deterioration of largely black urban areas??

Excellent question.

Why is it, that many big cities, many with black mayors, black city council, black police chiefs, black members of Boards of Education, have some of the worst problems of any places in America?

Since blacks are in charge in so many places, the problems can’t be due to racism, because whites aren’t there to discriminate. Blacks are in charge, blacks run those places.

We could also make a political statement, that Democrats run these places, and few if any Republicans can ever get elected to public office in those places.

Trump’s non-superior ways irritate these elite empty suits. Actuallly, Trump’s ability to be one of the American normal people... helps him get these meetings and deals with such people as NK leader and others, that obama could not. The stuffy know-it-all elite snobs might not have been able to even talk to these leaders.. let alone meet and solve the world’s problems. Those elitists fake any socialabilty and Trump is just who he is.. reachable and workable... he connects..

“Make the moral choice between love versus hate.”

Hey, why don’t you! There could hardly be a bigger hater, race baiter than Spike Lee who is still clinging to slavery, and now genocide of “ HIS native people”. I am assuming he is referring to the American Indians. They have worn out the slavery ticket and the new cause is now native Indians. This guy has always been a grievance warrior regardless of his wealth.

Spike Lee is a racist. He also always looks angry.

[Redwood71]

Yep, another uneducated political prostitute that seems to infect the “entertainment” world. Who made this guy a knowledgeable recommendation for political determination? With his blatant critical outlook on a society he hasn’t lived in for most of his life, he should be happy he can get recognized for actually accomplishing something at all like a first time award with the academy even as liberal as it is. And he’s been putting out movies in competition for around 15 years and gets his first statue. He even fails in what he does for a living but everyone loves the guy. Waste of time in his speech.

Message For Spikey!!

Charlottesville was a false flag.

Jason Kessler, head od the so-called “white supremacists,” was calling for “gun control” after Sandy Hook, and was a supporter of both Obama and Hillary. That’s a white nationalist?

And congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas said he saw a video of Antifa types and so-called “white supremacists” getting off the SAME bus.

A staged, fake rally.

[plain talk]

Hey honky. I'm Prince's former driver. Show me some respect!

[Senator_Blutarski]

Excellent points.

[Hatteras]

"“When we regain our humanity it will be a powerful moment."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Obama since Spike is still waiting to regain his humanity...

Maybe Bernie Sanders will do?

[caww]

[DungeonMaster]

Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

[Deplorable American1776]

Oh darn, I missed the Oscars. How can I live with myself, since I missed it? I was train watching ...

In the old days - before newspapers decided to whore for democrats this would have been a front page story....

[Senator_Blutarski]

Excellent points.

Spike has short man syndrome along with his racism.

[LeonardFMason]

Exactly.

Spike Lee with his little commie cap?
Yea that is a copy of the type headgear worn by the Chinese communists back during the 1950’s.
Somebody needs to punch that sucka!
