He saw his daughter and the future she would lead if he shirked his responsibilities. If you pay attention to the movie, most
of what takes place is more about the responsibilities that come with being a man than the actual interracial theme.

That was like a subplot in the grand scheme.

:ohhh:

Typical Spike Lee ending with the movie going off the rails.

Worried about crack whores and not the impact of his daughter hearing their loud and crazy sex in the mornings. Didn’t right before this scene they reconciled and the little girl giggle while listening to her moms moans? Crazy

Above the fray.
The context is that Spike faced a lot of criticism in that era for making films about current issues and COMPLETELY AVOIDING that crack was ravaging the community.

He took a heavy handed approach in JF.

He thought his wife was alive after he choked her out, but then the emperor tells him she died.
