107378, Not just Spike... no black filmmaker period could do it.

No one would *let* a black filmmaker do it, to be more precise.

A 70 million dollar budget for a film in which a black guy gets revenge by killing all the white people?

If Spike made that movie, he'd be even deader to the industry than he is now.

He threw a trash can through a window and folks thought he was being too incendiary. Imagine what he'd do if he made a "kill all the white people" movie, lol.

And I'm sure, regardless of whether Spike would want to or even can make a movie like Django, that fact absolutely pisses him off. Rightfully so.
