I agree. Does anyone question Spike when he makes a movie and try to make it as close to the truth as possible.....no! Did he put alot of white folks on Malcom X's staff when he made that movie....hell no, because it would have not been realistic. So Clint is right on this one, as much as I love Spike, he may need to fall back just a little bit! |

The only problem I have with this is that I've heard stories that blacks DID help raise that flag. Why couldn't he have included the black munitions platoon? They were there and did exist. It's like some of the Vietnam movies where they don't include any soldiers of color. Are they kidding me?
I'm glad he spoke out because Spike criticizes just about everything he's not involved in. He'd rather be doing silly films like School Daze and Jungle Fever. |

So what. Hollywood always changing shhit around. Spike is right. Why didn't he?? Black people where there during the war so why didn't he put some in the movie?? Who said they had to be shown helping raise the flag??? The fact remains the same BLACKS were there so where are they in the movie??? White people always doing that shhiiit to us and other minorities. That's the bullshiot |

SPIKE SHOULD SAY THINGS LIKE THAT TO DIRECTORS WHO DOES NOT USE BLACK ACTORS IN ANY OF THEIR MOVIES ITS NOT FAR WHAT SPIKE SAID THIS. i THINK HE IS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

Actually, there are many accounts in history where blacks played a role but never got the credit. Seriously speaking, some of us would not even know that a BLACK MAN was involved in the FIRST OPEN HEART SURGERY if "Something the Lord Made" never came out. And look how long it took the John Hopkins school to acknowledge that man!!!
My point is, we will never truly know how much blacks contributed to society in the past b/c history was written by those in power. Clint may be dipicting history as it was written, but the written documents MAY have been altered to only include whites. I respect Clint's opinion but I truly understand Spike. |

"He Got Game"

Spike is full of shyt. He was barking at Steven Speilberg for doing "Color Purple". If I remember it correctly, he said "A Jew doesnt know anythig about black christians." The Spike came at Oprah and Debbie Allen for helping in the movie.
Every since, I cant stand Spike. He's only thriving because Denzel loves to work with him, and I respect Mr. Washington. The other Black Hollywood actors refuse to sign on with Spike. |

That man can make his films the way he wants. I totally agree with Clint's comment about making the film about Charlie Parker. Why didn't Spike do it? As far as the black munitions unit they did not have anything to do with the flag raising and that's what the film was about. It would be very stupid to just throw them into the event just for the sake of inclusion. Let's grow up and be real "FOCUS". |

Clint knows Spike is telling the truth. Clint says he is making the movie based on what he read historically but we all know books written by White folks never are accurate. You think white folks are going tell us the truth about our own history so I can understand where Spike is coming from. For instance, in school we were taught that Columbus discovered America which we all know now that was a lie but they never taught that African Kings sailed to and discovered America way before that racist Columbus. You can check that out on the book called "They Came Before Columbus". |

Besides when Clint made Million Dollar Baby....there was a sh*tload of black people.....the motherf*cker had MORGAN FREEMAN IN THE MOVIE.....HOW MUCH BLACK CAN YOU GET!

I'm going to have to go with ol' Clint on this one. Spike criticized him without doing his research. And besides, that's like the pot calling the kettle black. You mean to tell me he ALWAYS got white people in his movies? HELL NAW! Why? Because white folks might not have had anything to do with the movie. Like School Daze. That was a historically black college and he had mostly--if not all--black people in it. |

I was going side with Spike with this one, but now I'm not sure. All I know is that I'm all about having a movie that's ACTUALLY historically accurate, which is hard to get from Hollywood. So with retelling a historical event, if the event had 10 black/white/etc people, then the movie should have ten black/white/etc people. If there was 100, then the movie should have 100, and so on. |

Esoteric & Judas, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you two on that. It's true, Spike at times does not know when to STFU, and he does have that bitch ass Napoleon complex, but you can't deny that his movies are timeless. Malcolm X, Mo' Better Blues, Do The Right Thing (my personal favorite), Jungle Fever etc. are classic movies made for Black Cinema. His shyt outshines any other black filmmaker's productions in the recent years, especially that damned Tyler Perry and all these dance movies (but that's another subject).
But considering this feud he's having with Clint, he's foolish because he should already know that we are in a world where black achievements go largely unnoticed by white people. It's been that way for centuries, and will most likely continue to do so since we are the 'minority'.
What he really needs to do is stop his bitching and make new joints...I'm dying out here (That goes for you too Quentin Tarantino).
And he just recently donated money to fund us books at my high school. Brooklyn thanx ya Spike. |

So, CE is "playing it the way I read it historically, and that's the way it is."

Clint Eastwood is RIGHT, Spike needs to SHUT UP, at least do YOUR RESEARCH, how can he ATTACK someone for a movie they are putting out? It has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. And to imply the person should RE-WRITE the story to include us is RIDICULOUS, and would be the WORST type of AFFIRMITIVE ACTION. LOL
Many of his MOVIES revolve around us, like School Daze, I'm sure MOST Black colleges have some White Students, they weren't portrayed.
This country is made up of 75% White people, I expect to see many movies that are mostly White people, that's why we need to GET OUR THING TOGETHER AND START OUR OWN. It's 2008 we should have come further. But everybodies trying to be a RAPPER then an ACTOR. For years aside from the "Waynes" and a few others NO ONE COULD VISION THEMSELVES AS THE CREATORS.
Playing the RACE CARD is something that is GETTING OLD and here's the CLITCHER FOLKS.....
SOCIETY IS AWARE THAT WE DO THIS AND IS NOW PREPARED FOR COUNTER ATTACKS.
See what happens when you CRY WOLF, save race issues FOR REAL INJUSTICES.
Clint Eastward is a POWERFUL, POWERFUL dude in Hollywood, and I just PRAY he doesn't subconsiously want to DISTANCE himself so he WON'T have to deal with POSSIBLE ATTACKS ON HIS CHARACTER, and I hope it DOESN'T effect the Black actresses and actors. They rarely work Hollywood is the LAST PLACE, we want to send a message WE ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS to deal with, just like everywhere else.
Oh well, let's see them RIP HIM AT [SPAM] |

Spike shut the hell up. Always talkin out your neck about race. If you're not happy about our portrayl in Clint's movies or just movies period, do something about it. Make a black movie about WWII. Trying to keep your name in the press because you fell off with a hardness. Just like how you tried to sue Spike TV..come on now. Just because your name is Spike, you thought they owed you? Little chump ass. Clint is not prejudice. His wife is part black, he has had many black people in many of his movies. The pictures I've seen of the actual raising of the flag; the soliders are all white...so what? It's still an inspiring picture. You didn't have any major white actors in Malcom X, and after Malcom's pilgrimage he embraced all people and that was not reflected. |

Clint Eastwood is FULL OF MONKEY POO! Just like all of the other white directors, they re-write scripts to make white people look like HEROES. F white people! I'm tired of their treacherous, manipulative, changing everythig around to their way of thinking asses! I can't take it anymore, but now the truth is being reveald, all of the evil that they do is slowly but surely being revealed. Look at Larry Craig, and that phoney preacher speaking against homosexuality and he was the one in the turnpike bathroom taking it in the POOP SHOOT! Eliot Spitzer takes the cake though, how you gonna clamp down on prostitution and you're the number one TRICK-CLASSIC! When all of the stuff that white people have really done is fianlly revealed there will definitely be another war. What pisses me off the most is that white women are considered a MINORITY which entitles them to govenment contracts, so what they do is open companies that will be run by their husbands so their scandalous white asses can get the contracts that are SUPPOSED to go to the REAL MINORITIES, but the government wisened up and there are ethnic minority contracts. I'm telling you, I hate the way they do stuff--they think that ONLY THEY are entitled to LUXURY & WEALTH. Now here comes Clint Eastwood with this half-truth of a movie--most people aren't smart enough to investigate, so what they see is what they tend to believe! F white people man--shady dealing pieces of [EXPLETIVE]! I hope George Bush & Cheney are BOTH INDICTED after they get out of the white house--Bartles & James in the thievery business--stealing oil, goverment money and everything else they can get--where's that bitch-ass Kenneth Starr now that some real stuff is going down? Investigating someone for getting HEAD..you've got to be kidding me. |

@ Antidumb, What the hell is a clitcher? Do you mean clincher!! It's funny when someone thinks they are so smart and profound but misspell basic
words. Spike Lee has the right to criticize whoever he wants to. His track record from the 80s and 90s within Black cinema is unmatched. If Clint Eastwood and the rest of you do more research, you would realize the prominent role that Blacks have played in many American historical events. |

And...Clint would be right. I saw the picture of american's raising the flag an historically there were no African American's holding the flag. America is not just Black and White like alot of black folk think. Other races weren't portrayed that much inf the film either. If we want to see ourselves depicted in historical movies then we are damn well capable of making them ourselves. Clint East wood is a great director and actor. Spike was being very trivial. Spike should make a movie on African American soldiers during war time if he's so concerned.....It doesn't really matter because OOOOBBBBBAMMMMMAAAAA 08 IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT WE'VE COME A LONG WAY! |

Queen Dee: Spike absolutely employs white people in his movies.
People keep referring to School Daze. Yes, it revolves around Black college life. No one has mentioned why HBCUs were created. Black people had to start our own colleges and universities if we wanted to obtain higher education. Now look at the HBCUs. White folks are joining what Black folks made and trying to infiltrate the Black experience. They want to keep Ivy League colleges and universities segregated, but when THEY want to know something about OUR way of life and how our schools are run, they are the "kindest," most "genuine" people in the world.
Who in the hell is really about to make a 2 or 3-hour movie about people in one damn photograph? It is much deeper than that. The movie should be reflective of the entire experience, ending at the photograph, or starting at the photograph and working backwards to what took place during the war and/or exploring the origin of the war. I'm sure there were some colored faces in there, if they were only in a kitchen. Considering the fact that Black men were put on front lines as human targets, I think there's more to the story than what we are being taught. After all, it is HIStory. |

There may be other factors that led Spike Lee to speak on this, but the reality is, if he feels Clint is discriminating, what about any other director who has done the same?
Where was he when 'Friends' was on for ten freakin seasons and they only had two black people-not even extras- during its whole run?? If you're gonna criticize folks Spike, go balls out dammit!!

YOU AZZ KISSERS THINK CLINT EASTWOOD GIVES A DAMN ABOUT EQUALITY OR MINORITIES, HE DOESN'T. AT LEAST SPIKE LEE REACHES OUT TO HIS COMMUNITY AND USES MANY BLACK ACTORS IN HIS FILMS.
SPIKE LEE WAS SPEAKING THE TRUTH. BLACKS ARE AN AFTERTHOUGHT IN CLINT EASTWOOD FILMS. |

@2shy2Bbf10 i agree the history that we know is rewritten to not include blacks just as the white man turn jesus into a blonde hair blue eye man which he clearly was not. |

Clint never said there werent any african americans at Iwo Jima, but that they werent at the raising of the flag for the historic photo that came to symbolize the war. So the name of the movie is Flags of our Fathers and it was basically about that....so why would he change that?? To label him a racist because he followed the history is ridiculous!
Spike Lee, I love alot of your movies, but as far as historical facts are concerned, you changed some for the Malcolm X movie as well.....so your point is void.
You dont need these cheap shots, your a good director...just make good movies...Heres an idea, make one about the black soldiers that were at Iwo Jima???that would be great |

I'm tired of this middle school beef between these two old ass men.
Spike lee: you're a racist
Clint Eastwood: you should shut your face
dainty1985: no both of you shut the [EXPLETIVE] up because you're too old and make too much money for his petty bullshit. |

Imma have to roll with Eastwood on this one. While I'm always pleased to see "us" depicted in historical flicks I'm not for just throwing us in for the sake of throwing us in. If this movie is about the flag raising then his movie is ACCURATE. What Spike needs to do is shut his azz up and tell the story he wants told. |

I can't stand Spike Lee and I wish he would shut up too. He hasn't made a movie that I like yet. Does anyone question him when he only uses black actors in his movies? No, they applaud him. You do your thing Spike and let Clint do his. You just mad because Clint does his so much better. You need to shut up and pay attention, you might learn something small time. |

Hah, you may want to do more than pay attention, you might want to see if Clint will let you get on. |

Spike's time has passed. He had his chance and failed miserably. Now he passes his time taking digs at the truly talented movie makers. Fade into the background quietly trouble maker. Find a place on the Ink Spot and think about what you could do with the second half of your life. Nursing would be a good choice, there's a real shortage. |
