"Does he know anything about American history?" Eastwood told Focus when asked about Lee's criticism. Rhetorical question, I'm sure. Spike knows nothing about anothing other than how to make bad movies and play the race card.

OK,... now Spike Lee is really in Trouble. He’s attacking the John Wayne.
“Very few Hollywood films deal with black soldiers,” Lee said. “For the most part, if you look at the history of Hollywood cinema they haven’t dealt with anybody other than white Americans. If you think Hollywood and World War Two, you think John Wayne — the great white male that saved the world.”

Why don't you go back and study your history and stop mouthing off!" That would solve a lot of problems if people would do it.

"Does he know anything about American history?"Yeah, Lee only knows the American history "he" wants to portray.
Besides the story had nothing to do with race, that's why Lee is such an ignoranamous. In Lee's wrapped mind I guess you have to "recognize" race in every movie.

The supposed Iwo Jima Blacks were building that great Alaskan highway. And they did a terrific job of it too.

Gotta love Clint Eastwood.
To: Free ThinkerNY
The only black battalion on Iwo Jima was a small munitions supply unit that came to the beach. .................... That shows Clintwood did his research. Ira Hays wasn’t white but he was there as one of the flag raisers, and that is what the whole movie was about. This is not to say there were no blacks, its just that they were there as CSS troops and were not in the offensive operation as being front line troops. They were however involved in sporadic rear enemy remnant action. Those actions had nothing to do with the actual flag raising unless you consider the passing of ammo to the troops at the beach. ??

Has Spike Lee ever made a film that was not almost totally black? (except for the white bad guys) He is the “racist”, it looks like to me.

Yep.
Even worse,
Do you know how much Spike has given to preserving the history of the 92nd Inf Div http://www.swabuffalosoldiers.org/index.html or any other prominent national Black organization or figure?
Not one moment!
Not one word!
Not one penny!!!
Spike is all mouth and no Moxie.

Lee remains just another loathsome anti-Semite and America-hater.
