Is this guy able to do anything that isn't black related?
Every movie he makes appear to suck, alot. If it wasn't for his emphasis on "black people" do you think we would have even of heard of this guy?

Please learn how to spell "racist" before you go accusing someone of racism.

And I think you mean "Malcolm X". American History X was directed by Tony Kaye.

I liked Inside Man, but to tell you the truth I haven't seen enough of Spike Lee's films to say it's the best he has done.

[Rubbish Hero]

He's basically the MIchael Bay of black people.

If Pearl Harbor was about black people in society, it would be a Spike Lee movie.

Why should he?  He is black if you haven't noticed.  He makes films about things he relates to.  Like every other director.  

Name 10 African American movie directors from any time period right now without Google or Wiki.

Name one movie about black people made by a white director in which there was not a "White Hero" to save the day.

Could he make a film not about black folks?  Probably.  Does he have any reason to not do whatever it is HE wants as opposed to following the whim of some random person on the Internet who has likely never made a movie in their lives?  

It is real simple though.  If you don't want to watch his films, don't watch his films.

That is factually correct.

Must suck to hate black people so much.

[Twitchmonkey]

He does seem like sort of a one-note director, but at least he's not James Cameron.

I guess I am a loser for liking black people.(Still better than being a Racist) My mistake on the movie I meant 25th Hour, Ed Norton was in both, that's why I got confused.

[Weiser_Cain]

You could also have mentioned Summer of Sam.

I love how whenever anyone dares to make a comment that relates in any way to race they are instantly a racist.



Unless they are black.

The US is probably the harshet place on the face of earth for a genuine national socialist. Even people like Aryan Nation (I do hope that a lightning fries them some day) bypass the most relevant part of the ideology, wich is the definition of national comunity and organic society. That is the really scary part, often times, far more than the racist component.
So in a nutshell, if you think national socialism is about what American History X shows, read more and get less bias. Do you want a funny fact about blacks and national socialism? Hitler greeted Jesse Owens in person while Roosevelt didn´t. This, of course, does not mean that I like Hitler, but maybe we should take a look at history more often.


Returning to the topic of the thread: the day he does not treat collectives that are not African American as the conspirators to keep said African Americans down, I may see that film.

Show me the topic "I'm sick to death of white people, oh and I'm black" that has received no criticism.

Where did the OP say they were sick of black people?



It is one person, who happens to be black, that they have a problem with.

Positive note about Lee: he comissioned the OST of He Got Game to Public Enemy; probably the only hip hop band I like.

One person in this thread said the word "rasist" [sic].

So.... your comment is out of place.  If everyone here was screaming "racist!" or even just many of them.. you might have a point.

However, the OP asked why he can't make movies that are not about black people.  Is that racist?  No.  It does however go without saying that if you don't like a director's work.. don't watch it.  No one is forcing you to.

It'd be like asking why Bjork can't write a song that isn't about sex.  Or why the Edgar Allen Poe couldn't write more happy stories.

I thought Spike Lee's Inside man was good. And also the music at the end and start in that was a Bollywood song. I don't know if he's racist though.
