Roger: Thank you for the insight about race, and esp the comment about Barry’s 1st date w/Michele, going to “Do The Right Thing”. She was certainly race-obsessed at Princeton, so Barry scored some points with that. Spike Lee is not worth knowing about. He’s insultingly race-obsessed, and this makes his movies (the few I’ve seen) just plain STUPID. It’s absolutely depressing that about 60% of all Americans can be so easily duped by the media (bashing Bush for 8 years now), and fooled by Obama’s oratory. Obama’s actions will do nothing but hurt our economy, and hurt our ability to destroy the Jihadists’ movement. Spike Lee talking about “plantation mentality” or whatever he said about Eastwood is just plain race-baiting. And, yes, he’s trying to get attention, but unfortunately, like a really stupid shock-jock. Too bad. Our country deserves better. Or do we?
