Have you guys seen the pics of people marching through Charlottesville? Looks like someone collectively pissed in their gene pool. Never seen such a mass gathering of retards.
Is Spike Lee stupid?
False equivalence. Where are his calls for white people to be oppressed?
He is racist and not stupid is the point.
He's racist? Convince me.
If someone complained about blacks moving into the neighborhood and changing the culture, would you call that person racist? Because Spike did exactly that with whites moving into his town.
I'm partial to anything historic and culturally meaningful in a positive sense so I need to know a little more.
Feel free to look up his history.

Why is it ok for black folks to speak out about their heritage and wanting to protect it, but now white people?

If a white person wears dreads and raps, they are almost guaranteed for being criticized for cultural appropriation. Little is said. Imagine if people expressed outrage over a black guy wearing a cowboy hat singing country music. Racism!
they're not talking about preserving white heritage, they're talking about segregation and everyone but WASPS being treated as second class citizens. It's an ideology of hatred, don't give me that shit. What cultural ideals are the people in Charlottesville representing, Foo?

Not many people take cultural appropriation seriously, so congrats on finding that nugget of stupidity.

Coming full circle, anyone is within their rights not to work with Spike Lee, no different than Mel Gibson.

ISIS .
Those people are actually poor and desperate. These people aren't desperate, they're just losers. Lot of triggered 30 year old virgins in that crowd.
Those people (ISIS) are a product of countless generations of inbreeding. I have no idea why nobody talks about this.

You know they were protesting the removal of a Robert E Lee statue, right? And Robert E Lee is a part of southern culture.

i had the impression that you didn't feel like using "cultural appropriation" to shut people down or oppress them was a real problem? i've brought it up a couple of times and you quickly made it into a joke. :P

They are protesting the removal of the statue because to them and most orhers it's a symbol of racial hatred, which is their core ideology. The South was a miserable place to live for all but the top 1% of landowners. It's a romanticized shithole built on the backs of black slaves.

Btw, nothing is more un-American than the Confederacy.

There aren't monuments meant to glorify Nazis in Europe, it's weird that we have those CSA monuments in this country at all.

To be frank, there's nothing to be proud of in regards to the Confederacy. It was a twisted feudal society that left 99% of the people impoverished and fought a war out of fear that the wealthy's long period of exploitation would end. Fuck the Confederacy and all it represented.

Just about a southern hero's statue. Yeah. Must be a coincidence that white separatist, KKK and neo-Nazi groups are all so passionate about that issue. Huh!

I don't know, was it a similar coincidence when black militant groups supported the election of Obama?

I like to believe people with different reasons can be supportive of the same things, and some nefarious reasoning does not make the thing itself nefarious.

White supremacists are the number one domestic terrorist threat in the country. Stop pretending white America has experienced what black America has, it's ridiculous.

You're just playing dumb. It's all about racial hatred and you know that.

They weren't Americans if they fought for the South, first of all.

Dude, they're marching through the fucking streets yelling "Heil Trump" giving the Nazi salute. It's insulting that you're going to pretend this is about anything else.

I have no racial hatred in my own heart, yet I certainly see how southerners can be proud of their heritage and symbols of it. My family identifies as southern. I used to watch The Dukes of Hazzard as a child with them all the time. The confederate flag and a car named the General Lee could proudly be all over American network TV in the 70's and 80's, now it is a huge problem?

It is feigned outrage over bullshit.

Slavery and racial hatred are bullshit? Tell me all the great things about life for the average Southerner in 1855.

The people who think the Confederate flag was meant to represent their heritage have been fed generations worth of bullshit from ancestors ashamed of their dark history. Really not hard to figure out. It's about slavery, this protest was about racial hatred. Period.

The average southerner in 1855 had more freedom over their lives than the average person has now.
