The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Spike Lee slams Trump in expletive-laced monologue at movie premiere Director Spike Lee railed against President Donald Trump in an expletive-laced monologue on Tuesday following the debut of his new film "BlacKkKlansman" at the Cannes Film Festival. Lee criticized Trump’s response to a white nationalist rally Charlottesville, Va. last summer, and reportedly referred to the president as a “mother-----.” The 61-year-old filmmaker’s movie, which premiered at the festival on Monday, is loosely based on a true story about a black police officer who works with a Jewish detective to infiltrate a Ku Klux Klan. The film ends with footage from the protests in Charlottesville, where a woman was killed after a man plowed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters during the “Unite the Right” rally. Lee said he reached out to the mother of Heather Heyer, who died during the unrest in Charlottesville, to get her permission to use the footage. “I was given Susan Bro’s phone number. She is the mother of Heather Heyer, who got murdered when that car came crashing down the street,” Lee said. “I was not gonna put that murder scene in the film without her blessing. Mrs. Bro said, ‘Spike, I give you permission to put that in.’” The ending scenes, which were added after the film already wrapped, also include Trump's televised response to the Charlottesville unrest, with the final image of an upside-down American flag. Lee– who refused to identify Trump by name – called Charlottesville an "ugly, ugly, ugly blemish on America,” and condemned the president for not using it as an opportunity to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and the alt-right. “And we have a guy in the White House — I’m not gonna say his f---ing name — who defined that moment not just for Americans but the world, and that motherf---er was given the chance to say we are about love, not hate,” Spike told reporters. “It was a defining moment, and he could have said to the world, not just the United States, that we were better than that.” Trump said there was blame on both sides for the violence that broke out between white supremacists and counter-protesters. Lee also noted that the racism depicted in his new film is not unique to the United States, but an issue that plagues the whole world. "This right-wing (expletive) is not just America. It's all over the world. And we have to wake up," said Lee. "We can't be silent. It's not black, white, or brown. It's everybody. We all live on this planet, and this guy in the White House has the nuclear code. I go to bed thinking about it."

So his new movie is "loosely based on a true story". Yeah. He would know about "loosely based on a true story" since that's what comes out of his mouth. As an example: "Heather Heyer, who got murdered when that car came crashing down the street” The car never touched her. There's video that shows it. Plus, even her mother said she died of a heart attack:
Heather Heyer was morbidly obese, a smoker, and generally unhealthy. She was wearing all black in a large crowd in 90 degree heat. That's what killed her.
#2. To: All (#0) condemned the president for not using it as an opportunity to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and the alt-right. So the Ku Klux Klan and the alt-right are not allowed to protest when statues and monuments that Spike Lee doesn't like are being torn down? Is this the kind of America Spike Lee wants -- free speech for him but not for us?
#3. To: misterwhite (#0) Trump said there was blame on both sides for the violence that broke out between white supremacists and counter-protesters. Trump spoke the truth. Lots of people can't handle the truth. Fuck 'em.
#4. To: misterwhite (#0) Well,if Little Spike says it,it must be true. After all,it is rumored that he actually made a movie once where a few white people who weren't on drugs,drunk,or playing the PC game for political purposes,actually attended. Some may have even sat through the whole thing and not claimed it was the best nap they ever had. Of course,Spike condemned them for using the word "nap" and claimed it was a racist code word for "nappy hair". It it weren't for AA and tax write-offs,this fool would be an assistant janitor at a elementary school somewhere,or some homo gang bangers tiny little "special friend". In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments. #5.

Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys ! #6. To: misterwhite (#0) He's a complete has-been. His attendance at NBA games gets far more coverage than anything he does as America's "leading black director". No one has cared about a Spike Lee movie in the last 10 years. And he's made hardly any that anyone knows about, even black people.
