Spike Lee explains why he shows Black and Puerto Rican unity in his films

[Turtle]

My guy… I worked in NYC for years. I’ve never heard “nikka” as much as I did living there. And 90% of the time, I was hearing it from those stringy haired Puerto Ricans.

I’ve got love for my NYers… and Cali is still c00n Capital without question. But my God, too many brehs act obsequiously towards those racist MFers. When that same hospitality is rarely, if ever, reciprocated.

Nah you’re tripping you probably lived in the hood no disrespect but of course shyt is going to rough.

You’re also talking about like, 20 years ago. Not that it’s an excuse but it wasn’t frowned upon back then

 

[ThrobbingHood]

His wife is puerto rican, explains alot

She’s definitely black… just super light skinned… pro-black brehs always gotta have the uniform.

 

[BaggerofTea]

You’re retarded his wife is black

You think that light bright woman is black?

She's mixed with something at least

No, You’re right. I lived in Flatbush but commuted to Manhattan. And it’s mainly Caribbeans in Brooklyn so maybe it’s not a fair representation of NYers as a whole.

Now Spike Lee is a c00n for accurately depicting NYC

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

His art, his way, his vision....He like PR women and grew round them.

It's wild too. Cause I'm like let this dude make the art he wanna make. Unlike Ryan Coogler who singlehandedly ruined the Black Panther franchise
