Spike Lee Is Tired of Asking If Trump Likes People of Color
Spike Lee doesn’t know why America keeps asking how President Donald Trump feels about people of color. “Respectfully, why are we still asking is this guy a White supremacist? It's not even a question anymore. I mean, the Muslim ban, all Mexicans are rapists, murderers, drug dealers," the director said with some exasperation while appearing on Anderson Cooper 360° on Tuesday (August 20). “And then Charlottesville. We have marching. The KKK, the alt-right, neo-Nazis, and he can’t make a decision between what’s right and wrong? What’s love and hate?”

"If we Americans came to study how this country started, we wouldn't be talking about kicking immigrants out," says filmmaker Spike Lee, in reference to 2019 marking the 400th anniversary of the arrival of 19 enslaved Africans to North American shores. pic.twitter.com/8EfHlTQFjj
