Spike Lee Goes in: "Django is disrespectful to my ancestors".....

[MeachTheMonster]

Exactly..."talmbout"

Here you are equaling Spikes commentary to that of 15 people standing outside and protesting.

Spike works in Hollywood. He's talking about his peers like he always does.

Well obviously spikes influence extends beyond the film industry. He should use that influence for more important things.

And when he does "speak" on other things and the media doesn't give it attention, you'll be the one ignoring it as well waiting to blame him when the media decides to give him attention on something.

Did Spizike ever break down and watch the flick

Movie was trash. Feel sorry for anyone who gets rewarded for making that garbage. Didnt see the hype. Hopefully django robbed them blind before he bl3w up the damn house.

Seems like you have something personal against the media. If you can't admit that a lot of times our "outrage" is misplaced then there's no point in continuing this conversation.

Dog...you keep calling it "misplaced" when I'm saying that our WIDE RANGING protest is selectively covered!

You think 15 = 150

I'm not talking about coverage. I'm talking about OUR ATTENTION which is usualy wasted on the wrong things. A story about racist django will garner more attention from OUR COMMUNITY than a story about Wells Fargo. We can change this regardless of what the media does.

Yes you were when you were BLAMING the PROTESTORS for it.

Stop running from that when it was clearly quoted.

I 100% agree with you about WHAT draws our attention. But I DONT agree with you blaming the protestors like you initially did. They don't control that. They could very well be in the same crowd of 150 people in front of Wells Fargo.

Again my first comment referenced WE as in all of us.

"I cant speak on it 'cause I'm not gonna see it," he tells VIBETV. "All I'm going to say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me...I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else."

I can't speak on it cause I'm not gonna see it... but heres my opinion on it.... :biggaplease:

LOL @ some of you acting like nobody should care about Django Dolls. This is the problem, the Black Community has the right to protest whatever they want. Of course the Media will cover this, Django is out right now and is getting critical acclaim and box office success. Saying, "Spike, 15 protesters or whoever shouldn't protest Django Dolls" is B.S. They should protest whatever they want. I don't understand why some Blacks are mad at other Blacks for not liking a Slave Action Adventure. Maybe some Blacks don't view Slavery as a funny action Spoof. As for the movie. The Oscar Nominations came out and ZERO BLACK ACTORS were nominated for Django. Not Shocked:


DJANGO UNCHAINED OSCAR NOMINATIONS:

BEST PICTURE
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: QT
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: CHRISTOPH WALTZ
BEST SOUND EDITING
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

while Jamie played the bad ass cac killer role well it wasn't exactly groundbreaking...why should he get a nomination?

I didn't think he should get a nomination in the first place being a black guy always ready to blow up at the slightest thing until it's tempered and managed by his white savior.

The only actor asked to play the role of someone with any real depth to him was Christopher Waltz. QT movies typically lack any depth to most of his characters anyway.
