It's On Now Biatch


Spike Lee has responded to Clint Eastwood's (now famous in my eyes) line "Shut his face".
"First of all, the man is not my father and we're not on a plantation
either. He's a great director. He makes his films, I make my films. The thing
about it though, I didn't personally attack him. And a comment like 'a guy like
that should shut his face' -- come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry
old man right there.

If he wishes, I could assemble African-American men
who fought at Iwo Jima and I'd like him to tell these guys that what they did
was insignificant and they did not exist. I'm not making this up. I know
history. I'm a student of history. And I know the history of Hollywood and its
omission of the one million African-American men and women who contributed to
World War II."
Settle it with a dance off boys.
