I liked Do the Right Thing and thought it was more nuanced than it was generally given credit for (though admittedly, it’s been a long time since I saw it), but I never liked Lee as a person. He is incapable of seeing anything except through a racial lense and so is useless as an observer of most events. I’ve even seen him use race to explain away criticism from other blacks (comparing htem to crabs in a bucket trying to keep the other crabs from crawling out).
Good for Clint for speaking truth to entitled obnoxiousness and not being pretty about it either.
