: MediaTakeOut.com told you about the war f words that's broken out between directors Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee. When we last left off - Spike criticized Clint for not having any Black actors in his film Band Of Brothers. Clint responded back by saying that Spike should "shut his face."
Well Spike responded to Clint recently, saying the following:
First of all, the man is not my father and we're not on a plantation either. He's a great director. He makes his films, I make my films. The thing about it though, I didn't personally attack him. And a comment like 'a guy like that should shut his face' — come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right thereWhy do we have the feeling tht this little spat is about to get real ugly....
ladiet77...
Why should Spike *** up? Clint tells him to '*** his face...' and he responds...i'm sure if someone told you to *** the hell up you would have a response...
ya'll always babying white people but when a black person has something to say ya'll get all angry and stupid...so um...ladiet77 '*** your face' why don't you...
Yes Clint is a closet racist! You guys don’t have any freakin’ idea why Spike lee got *** off He showed his racist agenda in million dollar baby by portraying a Black boxer as angry and irrational idiot, his message was not too subtle, when the white freak called the Black guy the *** word and the Black guy reacted, we are supposed to think the Black guy was overreacting and should have let the white dude call him the *** word and get away with it, He used Morgan Freeman to play a typical white guy probably Estwood himself , just in a Black body ‘cause that way no one would see Estiwoods true color which is racist old white trash! He was also opposing Obama against almost the entire Hollywood who was supporting him. He is entitled to whom he wants to support but he shouldn’t have told reporters that Obama was tripping and Hillary should continue to battle when it was clearly over for her. And he was told about the accurate history of the black soldiers in Flags of our father , It was pointed out to him and that he could have changed the racial make-up of the movie, instead he refused to acknowledge African Americans who fought at Iwo Jima. Defending the racial make-up in his films as historically accurate, Eastwood referred to another of his films, Changeling, which was set in Los Angeles before the city had a large group of African-Americans. "What are you going to do, you going to tell a ***' story about that?" he said. "Make it look like a commercial for an equal opportunity player? I'm not in that game.
He is a fackin’ typical white trash who makes boring depressing movies but remain overrated anyway!
SPIKE LEE IS JUST A JEALOUS *** WHO MADE WACK FILMS OVER THE YEARS..IF SPIKE LEE WANT BLACK ACTORS IN HIS MOVIE MAYBE HE SHOULD MAKE HIS OWN *** MOVIE AND LEAVE THE MAN AND HIS MOVIE ALONE...
CLINT EASTWOOD IS NOT A RACISTS HE IS A VERY GOOD DIRECTOR AND SPIKE LEE NEED TO MIND HIS *** BUSINESS AND GO AND MAKE HIS OWN WACK *** MOVIE LIKE ALL THAT GARBAGE HE MADE BACK IN THE DAY.
SPIKE LEE COULD NOT DIRECT TRAFFIC IN A PARKING LOT HE'S THE WORSE DIRECTOR ON THE *** PLANET.
@chrissy
*** your f@cking mouth you typical racist white trash!!! Eastwood is a closet racist just like you!
Spike told him "If Eastwood wishes, he could assemble African-American men who fought at Iwo Jima and would like him to tell these guys that what they did was insignificant and they did not exist," He did two films about Iwo Jima back to back and there was not one black soldier in both of those films regardless of the historical accuracy of African Americans strong participation in that war!
@GLADIATRIX I'M BLACK AND I WILL SAY HOW THE F**K I FEEL AND I WANT TO KNOW YOU AND WHICH F**KING ARMY WILL STOP ME..F**K YOU AND THAT WACK *** SPIKE LEE..
LET SPIKE GO AND MAKE HIS OWN *** MOVIES IF HE SO CONCERN ABOUT BLACK SOLDIERS BEING LEFT OUT, I'M TIRED OF BLACK PEOPLE CALLING EVERY *** THING RACISTS WHEN IT IS NOT...
EVERY *** THING IS NOT RACISTS THE MAN EXPLAINED WHY HE DIDN'T HAVE BLACK SOLDIERS RAISING THE FLAG BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T BLACK SOLDIERS INVOLVED IN RAISING OF THE FLAG..
WHY SHOULD THE MAN RUIN HIS MOVIE AND PUT STUFF IN THE MOVIE THAT IS NOT TRUE JUST TO PLEASE SPIKE LEE AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY..HE SAID HE WANTED THE MOVIE TO BE REAL AND IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN REAL IF HE HAD BLACK SOLDIERS RAISING THE FLAG WHEN THAT DID NOT REALLY HAPPEN..
I SEE NOTHING RACISTS ABOUT THIS AND BLACK PEOPLE GO OVERBOARD TOO *** MUCH FOR MY LIKING..EVERYTHING IS NOT RACISTS.
It's amazing how many black people that are just ignorant to their own history in this country and the role that racism has and still plays. If many would just read a *** book a lot of the responses to this would be much different. There is nothing more pathetic than a misinformed, misguided, and Judas azz black man. Spike is correct in his assertion and to know that you'd have to have read a book or two. It's so easy for a black man/woman to criticize another black man the likes of Spike Lee when he attacks your master now isn't it? I challenge any of you that are house negroes to read about the degrading and dehumanizing experiences the Black G.I. endured in Europe and in the Pacific theatre during WWII at the hands of the Unites States Government some of you would be the wiser.
CLINT EASTWOODS QUOTE:
Eastwood has rejected the Malcolm X director’s complaint that he had failed to include a single black soldier in his 2006 films Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. Rationalizing his choice, the actor-turned-director explains the African-American troops who were at battle didn’t take part in raising the flag. ‘The story is Flags of our Fathers, the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn’t do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people go: “This guy’s lost his mind”. I mean, it’s not accurate.’ Referring to Lee, Eastwood adds: ‘A guy like him should *** his face.’“
@DIESELPRO I'M VERY BLACK AND I SAW ALL SPIKE LEE WACK MOVIES BACK IN THE DAY AND I DIDN'T LIKE ANY OF THEM, ESPECIALLY THAT DUMB S**T HE USED TO DO WITH HAVING THE PEOPLE STAND STILL WHILE THE BACKGROUND WAS NOT MOVING USE TO IRRITATE ME...
I'VE SEEN ALL OF CLINT EASTWOODS MOVIES AND I LOVED ALL OF THEM, AND SPIKE IS JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE CLINT EASTWOODS PARTNER IS BLACK AND HE DIDN'T CHOOSE SPIKE TO HELP HIM..
I NEVER LIKED SPIKE LEE
@chrissy YOU ARE BLACK IN YOUR DREAM!!!! ITS SO PATHETIC, OLD AND WASHED UP HOW WHITE TRASHES HIDE BEHIND THEIR COMPUTER AND PLAY BLACKS JUST TO SPREAD THEIR HATRED AND RACIST AGENDA!!!! I CAN'T TELL YOU DIDN'T EVEN WATCH THE MOVIE!!! LET ALONE READ THE HISTORY BEHIND IT, YOU JUST WANT EXCUSE TO RANT RACISM AND THERE YOU GOT ONE!!!!! AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO CLAIM YOU'RE BLACK COUSE YOU AIN'T FOOLING ANYONE, WE ALL KNOW THIS OLD INTERNET GAME YOU WHITE RACIST TRASHES PLAYING BLACK TO SPREAD YOU HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@gladiatrix
million dollar baby was a *** story..he did not write the screenplay OR book for that matter...he merely directed and starred what was already conceived...there is NOT always a conspiracy theory behind things...if we want inclusion in to mainstream, we must first stop isolating OURSELVES with this type of thinking...its great being optimistic
Spike needs to stop..he sounds like one of those ignorant *** Israelites..everything is always about race to him..hes like a paranoid chihuaha..always yipping in someones ear..he needs to stop worrying about what Clint is doing and he needs to concentrate of making good films again because his last few films SUCKED
LOL @godofwar "blacker than thou"
I agree, some pro-blacks can be just as unenlightened and wrong as so-called Toms or House Negroes.
Personally, alienating your own race simply because they share a different view is irresponsible. We are all free to disagree. Why must someone be a house negro simply because they don't agree with Spike? For the record, there were approx. 900 black soldiers at Iwo Jima, out of 70,000 total, primarily as support personnel (the usual role for blacks at the time). Upon first arriving, many had to join in battle but as the battle waged on, the role diminished.
So should Eastwood have stuck 1 black face per every 77 white ones in the initial battle? Would anyone have even noticed?
Is it an omission, sure. Just not a glaring one. Those men died on the field of battle and deserve to have their legacy upheld. On the other hand, if someone doesn't want to go through the trouble of sticking one black face per 80 white faces, can you really get that worked up about it? Besides, although I haven't seen the movie, I hear it focuses on the events leading up to the flag raising, which no brothers were a part of. I will check the movie out now, however, just to see what got Spike so worked up.
Lastly, if Spike feels so passionate about it, why doesn't he just make a film about it himself? It's not like he doesn't have the resources. That's like a gourmet chef whining about his wife preparing him a lousy dinner.
I would be VERY interested in seeing a film about these men. Not only their contributions but why their legacy was suppressed by the government and their contributions minimalized.
Time to stop complaining that "whitey" won't spoon-feed us our own history and do it ourselves. And if a movie like this does ever come out, please don't cop the bootleg. Support the efforts properly financially so we can see more in the future.
Spike is right 4 commenting on how there are no blacks in Flags of Our Fathers. Flags of Our Fathers is inaccurate. Imagine how the black men who did fight in that war must have felt watching that movie and seeing no trace of them whatsoever. Nothing worse than being left out of something U know U had help in creating & defeating the enemy. CHRISSY, there were no black men who helped raise the flag but, the whole movie was not based on them just raising the flag. U make it sound as though the whole movie is just about raising the flag. And as far as Oscar's go, in a fair world Spike should have 2 or 3 Oscar nominations under his belt. Actually, it was a crime 4 him being overlooked(Best Director) for "Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X. Do The Right Thing won Best Picture at Cannes Film Festival and then was overlooked by the Oscar's. The Oscar's have never been fair 2 Black Motion Pictures or the actors that star in them. Perfect example is the Color Purple. Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey should both have Oscar's for their portrayals in that film, stunning debuts by Goldberg and Winfrey. Diana Ross is another who should have an Oscar. Lady Sings The Blues is the best debut by an actress that i have seen....ever! Whoopi and Oprah come a close second. I can go on and on.... Denzel- Malcolm X, Denzel- THe Hurricane, Sam Jackson- Pulp Fiction,Sharika Epps-Half Nelson,Eddy Murphy-Dreamgirls,Kerry Washington-Last King Of Scotland,Chris Tucker should have been nominated(supporting role) 4 Friday,Look how many amazing roles Morgan Freeman starred in b-4 they finally gave it 2 him.Most White folk R always going 2 choose their own B-4 choosing someone black. It is well ***. Passed by,overlooked or just plain ignored has been the Oscar's forte and the Grammy's. Black musicians have dominated American airwaves and record sales but, r rarely nominated in the big category awards such as Record of the Year or Album of the Year. Jill Scott not winning Best New Artist is something i will never get over or, Prince not winning Album of the Year 4 Sign O'The Times when every major magazine and critic had Sign O' The Times as the No.#1 album on their lists. What do they do, they give it to U2. Granted U2 is a great group and the album the Joshua Tree is good but, it pales in comparison To Sign O' The Times. Why do u think Prince is now winning Grammy's? I'll tell u why, for the times they overlooked him in the past. Black artists R not seen as equals to their white counterparts. How the F**k can Brittany Spears have won in a major category and Janet Jackson has not. U tell me how this is, explain 2 me how this can not lead anyone 2 think race played a part in their decisions.
spike lee is only trying to start contraversy for publicity. who cares if a Clint dont want to put black soldiers in his movies, we have black directors that can make movies about WW1 or 2. try teaching young black kids that they have a legacy in the military rather than forcing white people to acknowledge it. HOLD UP WHEN WAS SPIKE EVER A PRO U.S. MILITARY TYPE OF GUY?
@dieselpro: I don't know where or how you got your observations but I disagree with them. I'm not a Hill supporter but from the ones I know, I understand why they support her. When Hill was a young lawyer, she got involved with the Children's Defense Fund. Plus, she and Bill really got involved in trying to change racist policies in Arkansas. Mya Angelou is a Hill supporter and she's done more for Civil Rights than any of the observations you've described. Plus, some of the prominent black female politicians from varying states supported Hill too. I truly don't believe these women had flaws in their character in order to support Hill. It was THEIR choice.
As for Eastwood's movies, Hollywood has rarely given any credit to people of color when making war movies. The war movies of the 80s, 90 & 00 prove it. Saving Private Ryan was an insult as well. Eastwood's wife Dina is mixed with black herself. Old Clint probably makes movies based off of his era--crusty and white.
If anyone has problems with Clint's movies and I did with FOOF, write him and tell him how you feel.
Big_Moose we will agree to disagree on this one, you *** skippy. You make some valid points but you just don't get the larger issue here and being a White male you should not even bother to chime in on the subject matter because you refuse to understand. I refuse to believe that you could be anything except a White man. If you were a black man I would call you a self hating apologist for your daddy "the White man". Instead of posting on KKKnation.com or something you hang out on MTO and *** us some *** snit. And we should alienate all house negro coons because they don't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us enlightened ones. It's just that simple. There are many a coon posting on this site that love their master more than they love themselves and this will never change. In closing I say to you Big_Moose good try but you are a fake azz wanna be and you could not pull it off. ***! black people can't even mingle on a site that mostly caters to black stories and events without it being infiltrated by the White man or his house negroes. *** again.....
Chrissy (White male)why are you here? Are you that twisted and warped that you would play the role of agent provocateur? It's really is hard for me to believe that a White woman would be sitting and her computer bile spilling the way that you are therefore after some profiling I have concluded that you are a White male 25-35 years old, single, probably still living at home with mom and dad (loser) with no life to call his own. Good try but no Cigar. Must you try and control every aspect of a black man's life?
As someone who is based in the UK where Eastwood's comment was actually reported, I am surprised at the ignorance of some people about our Black History and culture.
Like most people I have grown up watching Eastwood in some good movies, but telling Spike Lee to "*** his face" is pure disrespect. The intonation of "someone like him" could also refer to Clint's slave master mentality as it infers that Lee should just be grateful that he's even allowed to make films in America, let alone challenge his perspective on history.
I wish there were more Spike Lees out there...
HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO *** UP THAT RIGHT SPIKE , THOSE *** CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT BUT YOOU CAN'T .IAM OLD ENOUGH TOO KNOW WHAT CLINT WILL SAY MOST PEOPLE WILL ACCEPT HIS *** . I REMENBER HIM IN THE 50'S THATS HOW OLD I AM , HE WAS REALLY SHOWING HIS COLORS THEN , IF YOU WERE NOT BORN IN THE 40'S YOU JUST WOULDN'T KNOW . MOST OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH WHAT WE WENT THROUGH WHEN CLINT STAYED IN HOTELS OAND WENT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR WE WERE PERFORMING WE HAD TO STAY IN BOARDING HOUSES AND GOING THROUGH THE BACK DOOR AND MOST WHITE ACTORS WERE THE MOST RACISIST FOOLS OUT THERE I REEMBER CLINT WAS RIGHT ALONG WITH THE GOOD OLD WHITE BOYS BACK THEN
