"During the Cannes Film Festival...Spike Lee got really uppity about Clint Eastwood and about how there were no African Americans involved in the filming of 'Flags of our Fathers' or 'Letters from Iwo Jima.'"

The word “uppity” is not racist. Anyone from any race can be uppity. This is stupid.

Can you come up with a more stupid headline? Uppity is racist? Give me a break? What are you, yellow journalism online?

I can not believe the blatant, unashamed racism that MSNBC is spewing. We need to boycott everything affiliated with NBC. If she is not fired by week’s end, we are going to shut the city down!

Give it a rest phcook. Quit trying to blame every failing you’ve had in life on ‘racists’ and take responsibility for your life. Minorities in this country have more opportunity, more freebies, more scholarships and more breaks than anyone in the minority. If you’re too stupid to take advantage of them then that’s YOUR responsibility. Put your energy into gaining some skills and making something of yourself instead of using any excuse you can to “blame” others. This MSNBC was no more racist than the snotty waiter at the restaurant I went to last week. You’re just an excuse maker looking for a way to ‘lash out’ which anyone with half a brain knows is a cover for your own laziness.

Spike Lee is not just uppity… he is smug, arrogant and a racist jerk. He makes low brow movies in which black people are always depicted as good, descent victims of white racist cops. He is bitter with a blood lust against white people.

That said, MSNBC and NBC deserves all the negative backlash due them, for spreading their liberal ideology throughout America.

Spike Lee is a racist Jew hater.

He hates the fact that he was born black

He has to make up for that by attacking whites, Jews in particular.

He is also very ugly.
