Spike Lee on Obama: There’s “gonna be a real Chocolate City!”
michellemalkin.com ^ | June 20, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/20/2008 10:29:16 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Still bitter from his spanking at the hands of Clint Eastwood (background here), conspiracy nut and race-monger Spike Lee is clinging to Barack Obama for revenge.

He told a film festival crowd this week that he has gathered 1,000 hours of footage of his Obamessiah on the campaign trail and will produce a documentary about the candidate. The dour director instantly cheered up. Via SilverDocs, Lee gloats:

Discussing his Hurricane Katrina epic When the Levees Broke, Lee referenced the current flooding in the midwest and said, “The infrastructure of this country is crumbling, and money’s going elsewhere.” He paused, then at quadruple the volume: “That’s gonna change, though…gonna be a real Chocolate City!” He went on to drop the news that his longtime editor Sam Pollard has been filming Obama throughout the primary season and has already captured 1,000 hours of footage for a documentary being produced by Edward Norton. When Kennedy began a question with the phrase, “If Obama’s gonna become president…”, Lee interrupted. “There is no if! It changes everything…it’s gonna be Before Obama, and After Obama. And I’m gonna be at that inauguration, too.”

I think Spike Lee is a racist. I think “African-Americans are more racist than whites.

Of course, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If Obama becomes POTUS, we are doomed, finished.

Islam is going to destroy the civilized world. The world will an anthill hell on earth.

Let's see, the news reports from the Midwest show people in the community working together to fill and pile sand bags and welcoming help from first responders while news reports from NO immediately after Katrina showed people sitting on their bums or shooting at USCG rescue helicopters...self-help and cooperation versus a continuous victim mentality coupled with an entitlement mentality.

“I am proud of my country, without a doubt.”

Did anybody ask Mrs. Obama what country she's from?

“That’s gonna change, though…gonna be a real Chocolate City!”

Spike’s right on this one; an Obama presidency will be good news for blacks and bad news for whites. Obama will fulfill Rev. Wright’s admonition to G** Damn America.

Lil’ Spikey prob. upset that the big bad Celts beat the
Hollywood Lakers by 39 points the other night (hey
Nicholson! YOU CAN’T HANDLE “THE TRUTH”!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_City_speech

“The term chocolate city refers to a positive, harmonious image of a predominantly African American city. The concept originated with radio DJs in Washington D.C. in the early 1970s and was popularized by the band Parliament, who released the album Chocolate City in 1975. Prominent scholar Cornel West also used the term ‘chocolate cities’ in his 1993 book Race Matters. In the beginning of his standup comedy special ‘Bring the Pain’, comedian Chris Rock refers to Washington D.C. as ‘Chocolate City’.

(snip)

Nagin later attempted to explain away his remarks by offering a more racially inclusive metaphor, saying “How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk and it becomes a delicious drink. That’s the chocolate I’m talking about.”

Hey Spike!

Have you noticed that the Mid-West, mostly WHITE, isn't crying and screaming for someone to come help them!

Have you noticed the folks in the Mid-West floods haven't been whining "Where's FEMA"

The White Folk aren't blaming Louis Farrakhan for blowing up their levees?

Spike, you fit right in with all the other Obama supporting racist!

Who would have thought that all the “good intentions”, “Civil Rights”, Universal suffrage, Affirmative Action and “Christian Charity” could lead to a scenario where black racist thugs were becoming Mayors, Congress Critters, “Black Leaders”, Media Spokespersons and now candidate for President —— to the exclusion of those righteous blacks who are ridiculed as “Uncle Toms” by the black Thugocracy that has seized power.

Yes the MSM often causes prejudice by fabricating information that individuals that are prejudiced continue to repeat as the truth. Weak minds are usually co-conspirators in creating urban legends.

I wonder how many people have been prejudice about gun ownership by these false reports.

“That’s gonna change, though…gonna be a real Chocolate City!”

Heh... way to go, Spike. Linking Obama with Ray Nagin's famously racist comment in the minds of all those average white voters.

It's almost like Spike wants to see Obama lose, just so he can continue to see racism everywhere he looks. Hmm.

[ Spike Lee on Obama: There’s “gonna be a real Chocolate City!” ]

New Orleans it turns out is not a chocolate city but a defecation city.. Same color different substance.. Spike Lee must want America to become defecation central..

You know like Detroit.. which makes New Orleans look like a dung heap.. Spike Lee is obviously a Dung Beetle.. with a Sisyphus complex.. Apparent in most of his movies..

No your not wrong.

I have thought of Spike Lee as a whining little midget leader in the Black KKK.

Under current guidelines of political correctness all races of any color are racists.

Why would it be good news for blacks. The last time I checked we are also American’s.

Democratic social programs have done so much to help shrink the list of people that particpate in the programs.

You could have simply asked if I had heard a refutation of the event. Until now, I had not. Here is a shocker - a person can make an honest mistake. I can admit it. Can you admit that you were quick to question my intelligence rather than inquire as to whether I had read evidence to the contrary of the aforementioned report?

Hey Spikey, if the aim of the whitey government was to wipe out the black population in New Orleans then as usual they did a very bad job.

Hells Bells, in Zimbabwe a platoon of Robert Mugabe's communist soldiers can kill that many of it's citizens in an hours worth of Christian opposition village raiding.
