Jamie Foxx Calls Spike Lee 'Shady,' 'Irresponsible' For 'Django Unchained' Criticism


Luke, D!ck Gregory and now Jamie. That's right keep highlighting the Black Folks that disagree with Spike. Notice all 3 with the name calling. Why so emotional? Cause Spike didn't go along with the Slave Revenge Fantasy. SMH. So Jamie, Spike is irresponsible for saying "Slavery" wasn't a shoot em up Slavery Comedy Revenge Flick that it was a Holocaust. OK. LOL @ Jamie proclaiming Spike career is over, SMH. Jamie shouldn't be talking about anyone's career.

Luke and Spike have been beefing with each other since the 1990s

Check this video out and you'll know what I'm talking about



Spike should have done more research before popping off like that.

He isn't too salty. He won the case.

WTF you talking about. :what:

I talking about Luke is mad that Spike called his music ignorant. Spike agreed that Luke should be able to say what ever he want of his records.

all i know is, when they 1st showed previews of that movie, last year, during the SB i believe, i reacted like :what::wtf::rudy:, and had no intention of watching that garbage,so i understand why spike didn't go see it either

now, i will eventually watch it, just off the strength of all the attention its received, but i'll be damned if i pay to go see that shyt :pacspit:

As a consumer no. But as a freind and colleague of the people in the movie, the respectful thing to do would have been to go see the movie before criticizing it.

I never said that...he doesnt have to see it I could care less. I said it was stupid of him to shyt on it without seeing it because it set him up for the backash he's getting

I can't speak on it 'cause I'm not gonna see it," "All I'm going to say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me. ... I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else."
when did he shyt on the film:why: if anything he's saying what you guys are saying "dont criticize unless you see it"

Well I still think you sound simple and didn't care if you took offense or not when I said it he 1st time I said it:yeshrug:....

Even if I was to play devils advocate and believe the your revionist fairytale account of Amerikkan slavery it still doesn't mean AA slaves were so valued by slave owners in Dixie that they would never stage Mandingo fights stupid...You simple ass acting like all slaves would participate in Mandingo fighting when more than likely it was only the biggest,most, atheleticaly fit male slaves whom were bred/trained just for those events...A few slaves lost annually to Mandingo fighting wouldn't significantly effect the slave population.


It's irrelevant to this argument but if you don't think slave owners in the Carribean/Latin America passed down slaves from generation to generation like their counterparts in Dixie it's cause you are gullable=simple...By the time the Amerikkan government had tried to ban importing slaves millions had already been brought or been bred here over the course of hundreds of years...There was no shortage of black slaves in those days...As a matter of fact arguably during that era there were more blacks than whites in the South which is the real reason the Union /white abolotionist wanted ban the practice in the first place....The Haitin revolution happenemed only 60 yrs or so before slavery was abolished in the US...Hundreds of years before that and most likely years after even there was no restrictions on importing slaves and there was never restrictions on breeding them locally

You have no point and only trying to romanticize Amerikkan slavery & downplay the barbary of white slave owners cause the ugly truth contrast with the fairytale vision of of it you want to believe in..Yeah and that reason is the US is only one country which was a destination of slaves from Africa where as South America/Central and the Carribean which also imported slaves from the Motherland are more than a dozen different nations..Ofcourse they would have imported significantly more slaves than the US by itself .but in a country to country comparison i'm sure America imported just as many if not more slaves than any other country in the New World.

How can your simple ass admit that AA slaves were outright murdered by their owners during that period but at the same time argue Mandingo fighting was a myth cause slave holdeers held their black slaves in such high regard they would never allow it ?


You mean one of those same whitewashed/watered down accounts of slavery written by whitey? Okay if it helps you sleep better at night Thomas.
How on earth am I downplaying the nefarious nature of slavery here or elsewhere? :what:

What am I romanticizing about the American slave trade? Where am I saying they were treated with respect and with the comforts of home compared to blacks from elsewhere in the diaspora?

I didn't downplay the Barbary of whites in any way. But what is clear is that black slaves were nowhere near as expendable toAmerican slave owners as they were to those in South America in particular. The Spector of slave revolts was always so much a part of the white American slave owning psyche moreoso than in South America. Slaves in the US weren't allowed to play drums, the thought was that they could communicate to other slaves through that sound. That wasnt the case in South america or the Carribbean. outside of New Orleans for a short time, slaves were intentionally stripped of every thing African to the point that reared slaves domesticated in the US were preferred. So NO.... I'm not romanticizing anything about the slave trade here in the US as being less barbaric. But there are stark differences, and American slaves were more viewed as property compared to South America and the Carribbean where MORE Africans were shipped and died. So If you're going to piggyback off of what I said about the Haitian revolution, do me a favor and introduce your own facts about slavery since you're so learned. There were restrictions prior to the the Haitian revolution, but were ramped up after the Haitian revolution.

It was the Portuguese that had an underground slave trade of African slaves brought into the U.S. as a matter of fact, the last African slave brought to the U.S. was a Yoruba man snuck into the U.S.. The cost of slaves in The U.S. was so much more than it was in South America because they wanted American reared slaves. So please....cut the bullshyt out thinking I'm romanticizing anything. That Mandingo fighting scene was bs. Slaves weren't expendable like that in the US.

When you are someone as respected and with as much influence as spike lee just saying "I'm not going to see it" is shytting on the film. Out of respect for his colleagues and his craft he should have watched the movie before coming out against it, or he should have just not said anything at all.

Are you just plain stupid? :ohhh:

If I said Luke was still salty from 1989, then of course he have been still salty in 1992 dumbass.

Once again idiot.

Sit your dumb ass down! - YouTube

The year was 1990 when that BS went down, so get your history together.

And I don't respond to folks who like to resort to name calling when they can't get their points across in a mature manner.

So Again,

Django Unchained Mandingo fighting: Were any slaves really forced to fight each other to the death?

Much of Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino’s blaxploitation Western about an ex-slave’s revenge against plantation owners, centers on a practice called “Mandingo fighting.” Slaves are forced to fight to the death for their owners’ wealth and entertainment. Did the U.S. have anything like this form of gladiatorial combat?

No. While slaves could be called upon to perform for their owners with other forms of entertainment, such as singing and dancing, no slavery historian we spoke with had ever come across anything that closely resembled this human version of cock fighting. As David Blight, the director of Yale’s center for the study of slavery, told me: One reason slave owners wouldn’t have pitted their slaves against each other in such a way is strictly economic. Slavery was built upon money, and the fortune to be made for owners was in buying, selling, and working them, not in sending them out to fight at the risk of death.



fukk outta here thinking that Mandingo fighting shyt was real cuz it cold have been "possible."
