Spike Lee: Christopher Columbus Was a 'Terrorist,' USA Built on 'Genocide and Slavery'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/13/2019 8:16:04 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

With the Academy Awards in the offing, Morning Joe had Spike Lee on today to promote his "BlacKkKlansman" movie, which has been nominated for a number of Oscars.

Lee predictably seized the opportunity to bash America. He first referred to Christopher Columbus as a "terrorist," and a bit later claimed that the USA was built on the "genocide of Native Americans and slavery."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Lee complained that back in the day, he wasn’t taught that Columbus was a terrorist and that Washington owned slaves.

Don’t worry, that’s what the government schools are force-feeding kids today, Spike. It’s why we have the likes of Ocasio-Cortez and other America haters as leading political figures.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Stupidity knows no bounds.
But in entertainers, it appears that one must lower expectations even more.
Summary: Spike Lee is a dumbass.

If he really believes this, he should go live in a better country someplace.

Sooner rather than later.

The Europeans brought smallpox, and the native people gave them Syphilis in return, which Columbus’ sailors brought back to Europe, and which then spread like wildfire.
