Trump goes after Spike Lee after Oscars speech
President Donald Trump is going after Spike Lee because of his Oscar acceptance speech. Spike Lee urged mobilizations ion for the election of 2020. Trump tweeted it was a "racist hit on your President". He claimed he had done more for African Americans than" almost" any other president.
Spike Lee won the Oscar for his screen play "BlacKkKlansman". The film has footage of Trump after the 2017 violent white supremacist protest in Charletosville, Virginia. Lee spoke about how his grandmother and mother was a slave, before talking about the presidential election. He says"Let's all be on the right side of history.Make the moral choice between love and hate."
Analysis: This article was written on February 25,2019. This article is quite interesting. It is weird how our president is focused on speeches and what people are saying than other battles that the U.S. is struggling with. I am very confused on the point of the "racism" part that Trump has stated in his tweet because he didn't attack him for the color of his skin or say anything in that manner. This article relates to history because Trump has used Twitter as a platform with other individuals when he disagrees about something. There has been 126 individuals attack on twitter by Trump since taking office. There are 82 men and 24 women. Is this really "OUR" president we want to guide us and help us grow as a country?
Don't do Spike, PERIODT. POINT BLANK!!!
ReplyDeleteFunny how quick he is at calling someone racist despite his many racist actions in the past. Trump should be doing other important presidential duties rather than be whining about this film.
ReplyDeleteI agree Cathy. There is literally no point for him to voice his opinion on this. It's uncalled for and he's wasting his time when he has much more pressing issues to address .
ReplyDeleteI don't get how Spike could be viewed as racist i think he has not reason to be targeted.
