Spike is funny. He choose to work with Absolut instead of working with local breweries. Do minority neighborhoods really need another alcohol beverage?

I like spike but, his old ass is buggin if he thinks that american kids are dumb because of missing out on gym, art, and music class. America is still the world leader when i comes to creativity...China and all of them other countries have smart people but they don't think outside the box like us because of the society they live in. How many new inventions spawn from China? yeah I thought so spike, suck my nuts and go make another film u nerd.

Some of my Dominican brothers can make a decent living selling "Frio Frio" for a couple of pesos out in Santiago. So maybe he has a point. Not sure why all of this bothers him though, he is a classic capitalist who instead of looking for funding for a film project (and having to pay back) is now on Kickstarter with a plea that he doesn't get enough support. A slick move by someone who wants to pocket it all to himself and the only obligation is to deliver on the movie.Spike Lee says we should go back to the farm and pick cotton because we're poor.
So this whole nonsense of NYC getting too expensive for some really doesn't sound right coming from him. He doesn't exactly have any ideas and is just talking.

idk breh NY is a financial hub of the world, leaving in mass doesn't bode well for minorities.
He's a narcissist, clearly.
He couldn't even decide/remember if his children went to public or private school, let alone himself.

How did I miss that before?This just strengthens my position on the whole kickstarter thing.
As far as minorities leaving? I am sure I am one of the few examples, but I left and now I am in a better position. I have 3-4 friends that did it the same way, one actually went back to Brooklyn (DUMBO to be exact)

There is plenty of blame to go around. Black men have been underemployed since slavery ended due in large part to discrimination. You need to read what a white Senator wrote in the 1960s on the future of the black family. Everything that is happening today including the deteriorated of the black family was predicted then.http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/webid-meynihan.htm
Working men are the best creators of wealth. When men have a steady job, they are more likely to invest in the future of their families. After the Civil Rights era, black men were increasingly pushed out of the job market and it coincided with an influx of white women entering the workforce in the 1970s. Many factories that black men were able to find jobs at such down. Remember, cities like LA, Detroit, Chicago, Gary, Milwaukee attracted blacks who moved from the South because of the industrial boom were experienced as a nation. These jobs disappeared slowly since then and are all but gone. A man not being able to find a job is a flashpoint for a lot of contention in the black family. Divorces and absent men shot up in the 1970s as black men became criminalized. Drugs began flooding black neighborhoods in the 1970s, even before the crack era. The drug of choice was heroin. Heroin is not made in the inner city. The corrupt government officials got it from Vietnam, SE Asia during and after the Vietnam War. It was no coincidence that as this occurred, the US government formed the DEA (1973) and ATF (1972) to criminalize black people. It was the perfect trap to keep us in line. It all started with MLK being on the FBI watch list. Black Panthers, who provided protection and served the black community were destroyed by the FBI and the COINTELPRO operation. Later, they created crack cocaine and we should all be aware of the War on Drugs game with government officials bringing cocaine into the country by the plane and boatload.
Did you know that since 1980 violent crime has gone down considerably across the country but the prison population has quadrupled? How did that happen? Non-violent drug offenses. The real problem with poor blacks is that they do not understand the game that government is playing with them. The culture of out of wedlock births and absent fathers was influenced in large part by government policies passed in the 60s and 70s. Did you know that in order to qualify for public housing you cannot have a drug related criminal offense on your record? Yes, even assault and battery is ok. A single male is last on the list to be considered for low-income housing in fact in many places they will not let you fill out an application, but if you are single parent with kids, you are getting it plus food stamps. That is the reason why culturally over the last 40 years we have seen a deterioration of everything in our community. Now, most black women have a very strong preference to not find suitable marriage partners because they get all the perks under these policies if they are single mothers with multiple kids. Homeless man, manless house. Senator Daniel Moynihan knew that then and it became true today. We need to understand the policies and laws that are enforced and how when implemented have the ability change and drive behaviors of society. Eventually, those behaviors become a norm and part of our culture.
Two areas in society that the black men is not turned away from is: 1) the military and 2) the drug market. Black men make up disproportional amount in the military and even higher in drug related offenses even though whites have a high rate of illegal drug use. The military will take in a black man to sacrifice his life for their gain in a heartbeat. They will also arrest and convict you in a heartbeat to continue to eat off the billions of dollars generated in the prison industry and criminal justice system. It cost $43,000 a year to take care of each prisoner. They would rather do that than give you a $43,000 job though. You are worth more to them in jail than you are being underemployed and jobless in the street. In most cities across the country, black male joblessness is 50% or more
