The headline-making director is lashing out at critics who say the presidential hopeful is not “black enough.”
“First, I go by the ‘one-drop rule,’” he said in Denver, where he has come to see firsthand his man accept the Democratic nomination for President. “One drop [of black blood], and you’re black. The truth is, every African-American is biracial. Go back far enough, and you’ll find the massah was in the slave quarters.”
But it wasn’t all fanaticism for Spike. He has addressed Jesse Jackson’s recent threat to castrate Obama for publicly chastising missing black fathers. “You can’t hide that stuff,” he says. “Single-parent households, high-school dropouts. The statistics are there for everybody to see. We have to confront that head-on.”
Behind all that buffoonery lies genius….somewhere.

It’s stupidity like his that ruins a candidate’s chances of winning. Seriously celebs need to stfu and stay away. In their minds they really think they have power over the masses on how to vote …..
Totally agree^^^
Yes, shut up! A “massah”? Because every single African-American is descended from slaves. What a moron.
people like spike divides us, with his whining, everybody has it tough, especially if you don’t help yourself and become self reliant. Government is suppose to keep us safe not take care of us , go live in a nanny state.; but realize that people flee nanny states for the freedom of living here.
AWWWWW more pearls of wisdom, where is Alicia AK47 Keyes and her wisdom LOL.
Money and fame does not give you brains.
Btw the youth vote that they always count on I never see them at the polls.
What’s sadder is that there are actually people out there who will vote.. who ONLY know what they hear from celebs b/c they do not do their homework….
.
So I guess what Spike is saying is that if Clint Eastwood had some black in there somewhere down the line and can prove it, Spike will have to retract all his racist remarks.. he woudld then call Clint and “self hating black” or “uncle Tom”? RIGHT?
.
OMG.. so ridiculous!
Buffonery my ass don’t hate spike cause he has the balls to tell it like it is.
You gotta love America, where black people are more racist than whites are.
This muhtafucker is a fucking ignoramorous psycho. Shut the fuck up brother. You are giving every black colored person a bad name. Shut the fuck up!
truth hurts don’t it?
It should be “truth hurts, doesn’t it?!” You must use proper grammar, Anonymous brother.
Guys like Spike just drive the wedge between the races wider and wider with that kind of attitude…..he needs to have a talk with Bill Cosby.
fuck you black and tan. i was just being sarcastic, you piece of shit. and FYI I’m an anonymous sister.
I feel the love - -not.
And I dont care.
Spike Lee is a fucking poser from rasciville, america.
I am glad he is standing by his choice…..it is his man as he stated.
As Mike C stated it, he needs to spend some time with MR. BILL COSBY, but Mr. Cosby is more of a man then them two put together and they couldnt hang, therefore they would cry like a bunch of girls.
whatever…ZZZZZZZZZZ
Its true though… My great great great grandfather is white and he was married to a Native American woman. They had three kids and my great great grandfather married a black woman against his fathers wishes.
Cool. I guess I’m black.
If spike lee is advocating for “blackness” by genetic purity is becoming a supremacist!
That, my friend is not cool. You better keep the supremasist views with you! HORRID.
The USA has a HUGE racial issue and keeping people pure is not excatly helping the cause…
Latin America never had a systematic segregation by law, so people have always mixed…like the human race should do…A pitty he’s trying to make a point by using “racial purity”.
Of course it goes without saying that people who haven’t a clue will reduce to “buffonary” what they don’t understand. Whether or not I like Spike doesn’t mean he’s not telling a historical truth. Damn, the ignorance of some you is amazing. It’’s mindblowing how unaware American’s are about America, and how the first time a black person speaks about something that got left out of most of your history classes while you instead got taught about George Washington cutting down a cherry tree and owning up to to (yeah right), you decide Spike’s a whitey hating black lying militant set on spreading bull about the white man.
Buffonary my ass.
I’d rather vote for Bill Cosby than BHO.
Osama bin Laden
Obama and Biden
Maybe i’m not reading his statement correctly but it sounds like Spike is saying “Massah” knocked up, at one time or another, every single slave wench that ever set foot on American soil . Now does that sound like it’s in anyway true??? It would take a real historical dumb ass to believe something as far fetched as that. Even Alicia Keys would not go along with that….at least I don’t think she would….would she???
The whole ‘one drop’ thing is such bullshit and I think it’s irresponsible on his part to say that. However, everything else he said was right. Whether you want to believe it or not we’re ALL MIXED. I know some of you hate that and will never admit it but seriously. The vast majority of whites and blacks in this country have a little sprinkle of something even if you don’t know it. And yeah, there was a WHOLE LOT of ‘massah’ sleeping with his slave women. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson certainly weren’t the only ones….
