Clint VS Spike
 

Punk ass, racist Spike Lee has dicided to take issue with 5X Oscar winner Clint Eastwood 'cause Clint be holdin' the bruvas down. This will go the same way as Spike suing Spike TV.

Do these little tidbits come to you in a vision, or is there an article floating around in cyberspeace that you meant to link to? :p

The story has been in the print press....

:D :D

It's moments like this that make Pelican OT great!

That one made me LOL - funny stuff Jim!

I'm here to serve. :D



I don't read the entertainment section, Paul. :)

Tabs and Mule are the same people. Tabs' was free associating, as he is wont to do in that guise, and was so taken with the moment that he forgot which persona he was and he posted as Mule.

The feud is actually real and a shame. I'm with Clint 100% on this, but they are both great directors and artists and I'm a big fan of both. They are both great story-tellers, but Lee sees injustice everywhere he looks. Sometimes it's real and sometimes it's an illusion.

Lee a "punk-ass racist"?? Me thinks that you protest too much. You're awfully quick to call blacks racist, I'm betting that you're a punk with a confederate flag who uses "nigger" about 300 times a day in the gravity world. Right, punk?

Not even in an alternate universe!

If you don't think Spike Lee is a "punk ass racist", you might want to watch a movie he has done or read something he has written.

I don't know that I would refer to him as "punk ass", but there is absolutely no doubt at all that he is racist as hell. If a white man did and said the things Mr Lee does and says, they would be a complete outcast.

Both Mr Eastwood and Mr Lee are very talented individuals, shame that Mr Lee is so bitter and angry that he squanders his gift so

I thought it was great that Clint told Spike to "shut his face". I love it.

Swing and a miss. No rebel flag here. I have been known to use the word nigger when applicable. Not as much as say, 50 cent or Spike Lee, but occasionally. I am quick to call black racists racist. I cut no slack there. I see you've become a keyboard badass. Cool. At least now you can say you called somebody a punk & DIDN'T get your ass whipped.

This movie uses such clever names as Man-Tan and Sleep & Eat for the main characters. The band is named "The Alabama Porch Monkeys." Much mention is given to "Jolly Nigger' banks. Watermellons are referred to a "nigger apples."

So I still don't think I'm on the charts compared to Spike.

PS Clint at 70 would still slap the smirk off Spike's face

If I'm following Mr. Lee correctly, we should subject SCREENPLAYS to rules of historical accuracy? Hmmm.

Well, so long, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, oh and about 95 PERCENT of ALL the movies EVER MADE. EVER. Except of course, all those TRUTH INFUSED FAIR AND HISTORICALLY ACCURATE TIME FOR WHITES Spike Lee DOCUMENTARIES. Like Crooklyn. And Malcom X. and "Jungle Fever."

He should definitely shut his face.

Spike Lee is a racist, there is no doubt at all about that.

Spike Lee's mouth is a stupidity dispenser.

Mule, I can't help but notice that much of your outrage seems to be directed at the many real and imagined slights of the black man against you personally, or society at large. Now while it is beyond debate that the white man is under attack from all sides, I have seen few, if any, posts from you decrying the plight of anyone but the white man at the hands of the fiendish minority of Americans of African decent. It is without a doubt the injustice of our century that the white man doesn't have a homeland to call his own (England doesn't count, see the Irish situation, below). But perhaps the reason people question your prejudices is because of your peculiar obsession with the subject of racial intollerance by anyone who is not white, and the failure of you to point out obvious racism, sexism, or communism by anyone who isn't black or named Hillary Clinton, or someone alligned with any of the above.

Perhaps if you took up the cause of the poor downtrod Irish living under the boot of British colonialism, the small sect of Jews still living in Iran, or the need for a Palestinian homeland, people might not be so quick to think you harbor prejudice against those whose skin is darker than yours based on the singularity of your posts.

Did you smoke this?

Reading a lot in there huh?

Singularity of his posts?

But Mule biitches about all kinds of topics...

I've thought myself an equal opportunity complainer!:D:D:D
IE Markus STILL has no bikini team type babes on the thread with the beach pictures from Sweden. Unforgivable!

As Eastwood said, his movie was based on those who raised the flag, lee is just trying to whore some attention:( Tuskegee Airmen was a great movie, and Truman took a big chance to do the right thing when he integrated the armed forces, but lee does seem to like to focus on the negatives:mad:
Some idiots think that a Confederate flag makes you a racist, but doesn't think that going to a church that preaches hate against whites, writes a book with many white hating statements and marring a woman who wrote a racist thesis that was to be sealed until after the election, isn't a racist:confused:

That's a good-looking bud, maybe he's alright after all. ;)

And seriously, I do call people punks in the real world when they are acting as such, but I have to admit that it's rare to hear anyone spout the kind of schit that you do on this board in the real world. You sound like one of those crazy homeless dudes that no one really listens to, repeating yourself endlessly like a crazy person. I can tell you that if you went on and on about blacks the way that you do here in the big city, you'd be gumming your food in no time flat. :cool:

You might be surprised to know that a lot of black folks don't like to hear this sort of crap any more than not black folks.

In other news, I will continue to watch and enjoy Eastwood films (except Million Dollar Baby, that one sucked) and ignore Lee's stuff.

Spike Lee is an idiot racist. In the two movies Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers it wasn't "soldiers" as Lee mentioned that planted the flag. It was MARINES. Back then, the USMC was highly segregated and the blacks did maintenance, kitchen detail, humping ammo, etc.

If Lee had bothered to do a modicum of research, he might have known this before he shot of his big mouth.

me thinks spike brought a spoon to this pissing contest ... Clint brought his .44 magnum.

My money is on Clint.

Spike > get over it... yes blacks served honorablly in WW-II - primarily in combat service support roles . But the FACT remains that the preponderance of combat soldiers were white soldiers. Why ? it was the times > but that's the way it was

and yes > exceptions > the Tusgeggee airmen and the Black Tank destroyer BN that served with 3rd Army....

Huh? Spike a great director? If he was not black and used the race card with almost every movie he has made, he would not even be known in this world.

Spike started this and Clint will finish this. I hope he uses the .44 mag in the end.

How anyone could watch "Do the Right Thing" and conclude that SL hates whites is beyond me. He treats the white characters quite well and berates the young blacks for trying to start racial crap over nothing in Bed Stuy Brooklyn. And he definitely does not let blacks off the hook for bad behavior, (parenting), in "He Got Game". Two great American films, IMHO.

He's all wet going after Clint, though. Clint is the man.

"Hey yo Sal, why no brothas on tha wall?"

One question I'd have would be- "Were there black units serving in that specific action?"

It was a movie, and movies are allowed only a certain number of main characters and sub-plots to be cohesive.
Unfortunately, nowadays some films rely on a very limited amount of the above, and are confined to being "politically correct" to the point of a two-hour yawn, "Letters" and "Flags" being no exception. I admire the effort and intent though.

Spike was correct in pointing out that there was racial segregation even back from the civil war. Some of the limited black and japanese units served with noteworthy distinction, although it took a long time to publicly recognize them. After WW2 the US military became fully integrated. A milestone.
He's pissing up a tree on this one, but then artists are bred to controversy.

SL makes a fool out of this character and treats Sal really well. Have you actually seen the film? :confused:

"Boycott Sal? WTF you wanna boycott Sal? He ain't never done nothing. You should boycott the barber that fuched-up yo head!!":D

Denis, Denis, Denis

Have you every read the quotes attributed to SL that when he sees an interracial couple he "looks dagger eyes at them"

Open your eyes.

Your statement implies owning a "rebel flag" equates to racism. I take exception to that, as neither owning nor displaying any one of the flags of the Confederacy identifies a person as a racist.

Though a white racist may want to identify himself with the "old south" and the times when the white man ruled the world, using a Confederate flag as a means to that identity only shows the persons ignorance. Ignorance of history. Ignorance of fact.

Those who would demean the Confederate flag, who seek to remove it from sight along with our statues and monuments; those people are brethren to the racist. They are kin, bonded by their ignorance.

My statement implies that I have no rebel flag. Take all the exception you want. I was pointing out that the vision being concocted of me was incorrect that's all. No demeaning here. Are you trying to say that there are no redneck nimrods riding around with rebel flags?

Something tells me the day Wayne created this site (and decided to add an OT section), it was not to create a forum for threads like this..

Too bad they aren't more vocal about it.

a few are, the dentist next door to me(Car guy, Cayenne S, '72 Corvette) Bill Cosby, couple more.

I hear Mr Lee is a great director, yet to see any great movies from him though. Do the right thing showed the black characters in a pretty negative light, I will grant that, but every single thing I have ever heard that Mr Lee has said sounds like he has been spending too much time listening to Jeremiah Wright and Mrs Obama

You're right, Mule... it was actually Speeder who started that. You were only replying to his accusation. .
.

No... in my post I said so much as that there are white racists who try and associate themselves with the old ways of inequality by invoking the image of a Confederate flag. And I said that they are showing their ignorance by doing so.

You saw that part, didn't you? Or did you stop reading after the second sentence?

Humping ammo? now THAT sounds dangerous!

No wonder spike is so piss off!

No argument here. I don't think anybody has the marked cornered on idiots.
