‘Make D.C. A Chocolate City’
Okay … Maybe I am a bit ‘thick’ … but tell me again ….
WHO is pushing racism and bigotry in this country? WHO defines things in ‘black’ and ‘white’???
`cause, it sure the fuck ain’t me … or the people I talk to … i.e., conservatives.
Spike is one or two small steps away from this dude …
BTW, I was in DC in March … There is plenty of Spike’s designated “chocolate” there …

Hundreds of Spike Lee fans began lining up as much as two hours before his appearance Thursday night at the Silverdocs film festival in Silver Spring. After running the gauntlet of cameras on the red carpet, Lee was treated to a montage of his own work before settling in to a chat with Denver Post film critic Lisa Kennedy.
An expert on Hurricane Katrina thanks to his film “When the Levees Broke,” Lee said the same problems are affecting Missouri right now.
“The money’s going to other things,” he said. “That’s going to change though.” As applause escalated, he added, in a clear reference to Barack Obama, “We’ll have a real chocolate city.”
Next up for Spike: a film in which he shot Kobe Bryant with 30 cameras before and during a Laker game in April. He said he was inspired by a similar film he saw about French soccer star Zinedine Zidane at Cannes. “I thought, ‘But this would work better with basketball,’ ” he said.
Earlier Thursday, Washington Mystics president and BET co-founder Sheila Johnson spoke at the festival and confessed to being new to and nervous about this whole “filmmaker” thing.
“It was like giving birth,” she said of producing her film, “A Powerful Noise.”
But at least she’s in good company. She told the crowd, “A couple months ago, I met with Whoopi Goldberg and she said, ‘My dear, welcome to my island.’ ”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Yeah, Bush is still in office… that’s the problem with trumpeting the “Midwestern Values” in the other thread.
Wait till Spike and his cohorts get their arms around this latest disaster.
Go ahead and hold your breath as you wait for Katrina-like stories. Really… go ahead, it’s safe… I promise.

June 20th, 2008 at 6:27 pmHe left out a WHOLE LOTTA information. Hey Mr. Lee, F-off.
For anyone else interested in the ‘real truth’,go to the library and rent or the book store and buy an awesome book by Larry Elder called “Stupid black men” and read the chapter regarding hurricane Katrina,then read the entire rest of the book. It is a greatly insightful book written by a well educated,well balanced black man.
