Spike Lee On Condolezza Rice

 

Crice030506

Says Lee: "I dislike Condoleezza Rice more than [President] Bush. The thing about it is that she's gotten a free ride from black people."

Oh no, he didn't.

"People say, 'She's so successful' and 'Look at her position as a black woman.' She is a black woman who grew up in Birmingham, Ala., and said that she never experienced a day of racism in her life," Lee tells the April issue of Stuff magazine.

"Condi, stop smoking that crack!"

"I know you love your Ferragamo shoes, but come on. While people were drowning in New Orleans, she was going up and down Madison Ave. buying Ferragamo shoes. Then she went to see 'Spamalot.'"

Hey Spike, get back to me when you become the Secretary of State of the most powerful nation on the planet.

Until then keep making your racist movies and flapping your piehole.

Condolezza got some serious chapped lips.

I guess that photo of Condoleeza is her response to Spike? He is that small? So much for what they say about black men.

Really, some one needs to give him a can of Raid to sit on to kill whatever is up his butt.

Finally Spike Lee says something that is so TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bestdressed - i agree. condoleezza rice is a sell out.

March 6, 2006 12:28 PM

Condi is a sell out? Oh so black women are not supposed to be educated and rising to the top? Give me break.

Spike Lee always gets mad at someone when he needs attention. Throwing out insults always makes print because everyone wants to read that stuff so he is playing it well.

March 6, 2006 12:29 PM

yet another way for the (now) irrelevant Spike Lee to keep his name in the news.

as much as I don't agree with Condoleeza's politics, I do respect her for her accomplishments. she rose to a very high level in her field which by itself is impressive, but did it as a black woman...the old "double minority" thing going against her.

all spike did with his movies is perpetuate racial stereotypes while Ms. Rice broke them down.

March 6, 2006 12:30 PM

Right, because Spike immediately flew down to New Orleans and helped in the relief effort? You can dislike Condy Rice (I do), but she doesnt have some "obligation" to a set of political values just because of the color of her skin.

Rice is a sellout? You know, that kind of attitude is what is perpetuating racism in this country.

I find it disgusting that black women are expected to he unwed mothers, multiple children with multiple men, welfare, crack heads, etc. When they actually do something with their lives, they are selling out.

Would you say the same thing if she was working under a Democratic administration?

Who's a naughty-accuser.. backbiter, jealous and entirely repulsive with the initials of S J..?

Spike Lee is married to a very successful Black lawyer who was raised with a lot of money. He too is from an educated successful family. So he is not criticizing Condol Rice for being successful. he is criticizing her for not having enough of a connection to her roots by supporting insensitive policies that Bush tells her to support.

Condol Rice is full of crap. Why do people think just because she is black, she represents Black people? No she does not represent Blacks. She is too busy supporting Bush while he alienates the rest of the free world with his offensive policies and disregard for the rest of the international community.

Condol Rice is a sellout. So what if she is Secretary of State? Oh what any Black will do? No, the right Black person will do - the one with balls and who has the ability too be humane and of service to mankind - neithr of which she is.

Spike Lee is right and he is the only one who has the balls to speak up against her. Good for him. So many famous people are so by the book and express views that their PR people tell them to express. Thanks Spike for saying what you feel.

Condol Rice is a fool. She was awful when she was a University President and she is awful now. What a waste she is.

March 6, 2006 2:10 PM

I AM A BLACK WOMAN AND CODOLEEZA OR CONDOM RICE (WHATEVER THE HELL HER NAME IS) DOES NOT REPRESENT ME IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. I HAVE TWO JOBS AND SUPPORT A FAMILY. I WORK HARD AND CONLOEEZA RICE JUDGES POOR PEOPLE LIKE ME BECAUSE WE SHOULD ALL PULL OURSELVES FROM OUT BOOTSTRAPS. BITCH! SHE DOES NOT REPRESENT ME. ALL OF YOU WHO ARE DISSING SPIKE LEE NEED TO RETHINK WHAT HE IS SAYING. HE IS EXERCISING HIS RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN TO CRITICIZE IF HE WANTS.

CONDOLEEZA RICE IS ONE OF THOSE WHO FORGETS THE POOR BECAUSE NOW SHE HAS ESCAPED!

TRY LIVING ON $30,000 (TOTAL OF 2 JOBS) CONDOL RICE ---AND I HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE BY THE WAY. FUCK HER ! I DON'T CARE IF SHE IS BLACK LIKE ME - SHE MEANS NOTHING TO ME AND MY STRUGGLES - NOTHING. I CONNECT MORE TO A LOT OF PROGRESSIVE WHITE PEOPLE THAN I DO TO CONDOLEEZA RICE.

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING THAT BLACK PEOPLE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SUPPORT ANOTHER BLACK PERSON BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. NO THEY NEED TO HAVE DECENT PLATFORMS TOO - SOMETIMES MY KID AND I EAT RAMEN NOODLES FOR DINNER CONDOL. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE? SCREW YOU!

Shoes, what about that hair!!!!

Condi is a closeted lesbian who has BLOOD in her hands for enabling bush who took us into a war based on LIES.

The fact that she was shoping on Ferragamos on 5th Avenue during Katrina speaks volumes about how she does not care about America. She only cares about herself and $$$. That's why she is a sell out. She has been part of the problem for DIVIDING America instead of uniting people of all political parties.

She sucks big time.

And good for Spike for pointing out what a real failure she is.

March 6, 2006 3:45 PM

Rice deserves the criticism--she doesn't have to represent black people, but she doesn't do squat for the poor in this country either, black or not. It has nothing to do with education level or her career--there are wealthier, higher educated people who do give time and money wise to helping others. A few rare people serve in goverment to improve things for others, a lot more serve to improve their own pocketbooks and credentials.

Shop for shoes, shove your head up your boss's butt--just don't do anything to assist the poor in this country. Give exercise tips while we're in a crummy war and poverty levels rise. Great job, Condi!

I see we have another Harry Belafonte. However, Belafonte's so damn old that's he's probably shitting in diapers and eating from a feeding tube, so we can sort of forgive some of his racist comments. But there's no excuse for Spike Lee. Since he hasn't done anything successful in like five years, he has to reach out and attack any African American who has.

I have a question: How is Condoleeza Rice a sell-out to her race? Because she's Republican? After all, she is a successful, wealthy black woman. And we all know that a successful, wealthy person would never be a Republican.

If Condi switched sides and demanded more public welfare checks be written and delivered, would she then be a credit to her race?

March 6, 2006 4:19 PM

Rice is complete sell-out to her race. Spike Lee is a very successful black man, but no one calls him a sell out. Why? Rice is supporting the party that is trying to hold blacks down, Lee is not.

Thaddeus, why do you assume supporting Blacks means supporting welfare?

No, Condoleeza is a sell out to her race because she has lost the humanity that so many poor Black people are asking of their gov't officials.

Actually, I would correct Spike and say she is a sell out to the HUMAN race by sending innocent people's kids to a stupid war that we cannot win nor can we justify. Sending poor kids to a war that international leaders are criticizing us for. Before you can say, teh draft is illegal - well what else is there for these young kids to do? What opportunities are there?

Condoleeza is a sell out to Black people because she does not fully align herself with things that matter to Blacks. And , sir let me correct you, welfare does not matter to Blacks. Most people n Welfare are poor White women. Check your facts.

Condoleeza is a fool. I don't care how educated she is - she is a fool.

Spike Lee is a tatented director, one of the few Black ones, who has contributed to sciety in his own small way. he is asking the same of this idiot as any Amercan citizen should.

This woman Condoleeza is a fraud and insensitive one at that.

And Thaddeus, please check Harry Belafonte's Bio. he was marchin side by side with Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights Movement at a time when it was not wise for a Hollywood actor to do so. he worked hard to get Mandela out of prison. he has fought hard for social justice. He married a white woman in the 60's when people attacked him for it. He is a humanitarian - and one who has the balls to criticize George Bush. We are not in Communist Russia - we have the right to tell our President that the work he does sucks.

That is what Harry Belafonte has done. Instead you attack his age and elderly status. As a person whoo has cared for the elderly, I find your comment insensitive. Karma will get you for something like that, you fool. Get a life - attacking old people. How weak!

Oh. you haters hate Rice because she is a Republican. Reality is the the Democratic party has helped perpetuate the slave mentality and is responsible for our welfare based society. If Rice is representive of what being a Rebublican does for a woman , what does being a Democrat get a Black woman? Oh yeah a welfare check and 7 kids with different fathers.

History will remember Rice but spike lee? Who?

Ps. I am Black and parents originally from Martinique.

March 7, 2006 12:42 AM

Bitch...you might want to get your ass back to Martinique!!!

March 7, 2006 1:14 AM

Marie is not from Martinique, otherwise why would she so intentionally write "PS I'm from Martinique"? That was just to incite. She doesn't even mean what she posted. It was an attempt to get a discussionn going.

Now "Please #21" on the other hand, I don't think none of us can tell anyone to go back anywhere - this is no one's country but the Native Americans' who are now practically extinct - thanks to those wonderful pilgrims.

If everyone wants to believe Black = Welfare, go right ahead. The poor White women who make up the majority of the people on welfare are laughing all the way to the Welfare bank - besides it takes the heat off them that Blacks are seen as the predominant Welfare recipients - that way these poor White women can go under the radar and keep receiving their checks.

As for Condoleeza Rice, she is an Ass hole. I have heard lots of stories about her from friends who work in Washington and none of those stories I can divulge - but I can assure you she is an ass.

It's funny how the only time Republicans worry about racism is when they defend Condoleeza Rice.

March 7, 2006 1:18 PM

ms rice and I are from the same state and grew up in the same era, and when she was talking about her skating an piano lesson around the time of the b'ham bombings, let me tell you there was no where in jim-crow alabama that would let a black person skate in a public skating rank. so I don't know what planet she was living on growing up in the 50's & 60'S where black people were allowed to go to a public place like a skating rank and pratice, more than likey the white's in alabama would have closed it down before allowing a black person to taint there ice rank,like in the town where I grew they fill the public swimming pool with concret to keep blacks from swimming there, so I would say she is out of touch with her own people and she could care less, democrat or republican she don't give a shit about Black people.

March 7, 2006 1:51 PM

Hello, I believe some of you need to read me.

Poor Spike Lee

You are just such a miserable fellow.

Guess what ?

We don't care what you think about Condi or anybody else.

Keep on acting slave Spikee... This is exactly what you are supposed to do anyway.

We LOVE Condi ("we" being not only white people). She is the one all blacks across the planet were waiting for, just as Madiba or Colin are. Too bad for you Spikee it's just not you. Period.

And by the way,

Martinique, just as Guadeloupe, is not "under French rule". It IS France.

That's for sure : Condi is highly popular in Caribbean France.

Bush MUST will be remembered because he was wise to appoint the most skilled and intriguing woman ever seen in America.

And guess what ? The whole world agrees with that. Spike Lee is just nothing. I love writing it : I mean, just nothing.

March 7, 2006 8:57 PM

Dan, Maritinique IS FRANCE? It is for all intents and purposes under French rule. Have you been to France? Have you witnessed the treatment of Martiniquans and Gualoupeans in France? Did you not see who was rioting for days in France recently? Caribbean natives of France, Arabs and Black Africans. You fool. The French are ruthless and have always been towards their "commonwealth".

Condoleeza Rice is the one "we" have been waiting for??? Are you kidding me? Waiting for what? To support Bush in handing over our ports to the United Arab Emirates who harbor terrorists? To go into a Nuclear weapons contract with India? Condoleeza, what are you doing about all these issues , you twit with the bad haircut???

She is what "we" have been waiting for? Waiting for to turn the US into a freakin' international bully. Thanks Condi. That is why your President's ratings are at an all time low. You witch.

Spike a slave, you say. FYI: Slavery was abolished a long, long time ago Moron. Wishful thinking so get your hands out of your Mammy's vagina. Slavery's over and Spike has every right to criticize this Bitch.

Spike a slave? The man with a graduate degree from NYU film school who has made one of the films that consistently ends up on anyone's 100 best films list? Him? that Spike?

You're an ass Dan. Take the Republican Dick out of your mouth, you sad pig.

April 5, 2006 6:49 AM

Boy do white and black people still love to see a black person do whatever his/her white master tells him/her to do without question, whether right or wrong. Funny how some things never change.
Condi is a disgrace to the human race, along with people that still support such shameful behaviour!

April 13, 2006 8:10 AM

Its Condoleeza Reich!! The First Lady of Fascism!!
