Spike Lee's Disservice to Black America
 |
| Lloyd Marcus |
In his speech, Lee cited that slavery in America began 400 years ago. And yet, while standing on stage, receiving an Oscar, Lee, a black man, acts as if slavery continues today. Lee said his grandmother funded his college education. He said his grandmother was the daughter of a slave and a college graduate. Doesn't Spike Lee's and his grandmother's success confirm the truth that America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it?
As I watched Spike Lee, I thought, what is wrong with this man? Does he actually believe his anti-American garbage, or is it simply his niche to make movies? Promoting her movie, Selma, billionaire black woman Oprah Winfrey spread the lie that blacks are still suffering the 1965 racism featured in her movie. White moviegoers have made black actor Samuel L. Jackson worth $220 million. Like Spike Lee, Jackson whines about how blacks can't catch a break in racist America.

I've had a problem with Spike Lee's thinking ever since his breakout movie, Do the Right Thing. Lee's movie ends with blacks burning down the business of a white small business–owner in their neighborhood. The movie implies that this is justified. I thought, this is wrong. That white business-owner served that black community. In his Oscar speech, Lee senselessly told America to "do the right thing" by voting out racist president Trump in 2020 — the best presidential friend of black Americans since Lincoln.
When I was a kid in Baltimore, it seemed as if grocery stores owned by Jews were on every other street corner in black neighborhoods. When I was around ten years old, my Aunt Bummie sent me to purchase two cigarettes for her from the corner store. The Jewish owner opened his book and put the cigarettes on her account.
In later years, Asians began opening convenience stores in black neighborhoods, with 14 family members living upstairs above their businesses. I never understood my fellow blacks' hatred for these people. Nothing was stopping blacks from opening businesses in our neighborhoods.
Exposing their bigotry of low expectations, leftists say racism stops blacks from opening businesses. But that is not true. Born in 1867, the child of a former slave, Madam C.J. Walker was one of the first American self-made millionaires. Today, leftists absurdly define everything as racism and white privilege. A black hair care products entrepreneur, Ms. Walker, achieved extraordinary success at a time in America when real, not faux, racism was the norm.
The greatest nemesis of black Americans is negative, victim, and entitlement mindsets instilled into them by Democrats and leftists. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). In other words, if blacks think they can achieve success in America, they will. If blacks believe they cannot succeed, they will not. This is why successful black Americans like Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson, and Oprah Winfrey preaching their America-is-against-you lie is extremely destructive — a major disservice to their fellow blacks.
