- Then that's your problem. You need to listen to a real live interview
- with HIM and not reports of whayt he has said which you heard from
- the media. Remember when the press said that he thought students
- should cut class and go see his movie Malcomn X? Well, turns out he
- never said that. He was referring to a scenario where students go
- to see the movie as part of a school function. He himself as a high
- school student was taken to see movies in that manner.

- I just saw an interview with Spike Lee on Larry King Live. He didn't
- mention any of those things. I have heard other so-called black leaders
- make such claims, but never Spike. I didn't see Mo' Better Blues
- so I don't know if it contained racists views of Jews, but I never heard
- it mentioned in the press anywhere and I read and watch a lot of news.
