*Do the right thing is a relevant phrase in any context, but Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” has reached an unfortunate milestone of relevance in American culture. The movie’s portrait of race in the urban center of New York was reflective of the nation’s overall racial climate of 1989. (more…)
A great movie (one of the top ten blacks films IMO), but brother Spike isn’t relevant, he’s still trying to clown another brother that’s putting a lot of black thespians to work [Tyler Perry] while he is off to white universities teaching/lecturing rich kids filmography! “Come on, Mookie”!
I am not mad at Spike – but practice what you preach!
I am definitely not a racist person, period, but there are a lot of black schools that could use his assistance and guidance. I am all for someone learning something – but don’t clown someone else’s ability to inspire and uplift. We all may not like Tyler’s films (some do offer buffoonery) but he is also doing great things in the black community!
