Fortunately, Spike Lee has gone the way of many of the fads from the 90's.

Oh yeah, I can see how a rich privaleged kid in expensive baggy pants from suburban San Francisco can empathize with Macolm X's "Plymouth Rock landed on us" speech. Him joining terrorists had nothing to do with his liberal upbringing.

Just imagine how empty headed and shallow you must be to base your entire life on what you see in a movie. He said he was 12 years old. Hadn't his parents, school, church, filled up part of that headspace with something of value? Something of substance? Some kind of judgement system that would have led him to question whether or not that movie might contain agenda driven distortions, taken romantic license, propagandadized the subject?

[JeeperFreeper]

This reminds me of the lyrics of a country-western song of a few years ago....."if you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything" .

I thought the Hollywood types and their movies didn't negatively influence our youth? /sarcasm

Unfortunately (or not) I didn't see the final scene of that flick 'cause I had turned it off in favor of a rerun of Babewatch - priorities ya know......

Malcolm X?

Good thing he missed Malcolm I, Malcolm II, Malcolm III,etc.

[Blue_Ridge_Mtn_Geek]

He must have missed that part after Malcolm's visit to Mecca, where his "loving fellow Muslim" ministers had him expelled from the company of the faithful, and then assassinated because his popularity among the believers was threatening their posistions and incomes. Definitely a "religion of peace" . . . the peace of the grave for anyone who gets in the way of those who are promoting it for their own profit.

Maybe Spike needs to be dragged into court like Ozzy and Judas Priest in the mid 1980's.

[Uncle Meat]

It was the ultimate"I wanna be black"act that these idiot white teenagers do that seem to have this severe race identity crises these days.Every thing the blacks do is cool.He wanted to be black so bad,that he mimicked what his idols do once they end up in prison,covert to Islam.
