"Spike Lee... the thorn in your side"

ppl either love him or hate him. they can't just judge his films on their own terms. either that or they accuse him of racism. and that's not just limited to white audiences, i've actually heard blacks call him racist too. it's truly amazing how ppl react to the guy's films, or maybe it's him himself. a black man with something to say = an angry black man.

lol. i find it amusing and fascinating at the same time. a lot of ppl expose their inner thoughts on race when it comes to spike. i mean, u'll see from the replies to this post itself.

Took a picture of the truth and tried to develop it
Had proof, it was only recognized by the intelligent - Rashid
