Spiken menestys jatkuu, siellä se Jasperikin mukana vilahtelee, hienoa!

But that's just Cannes. Need the same thing to happen at The Academy...

Honestly, Spike would throw a 'diversity' fit if a movie about George Washington didn't have a black man playing Washington...

At least he's staying humble.

In other news nobody cares.

I know you will be trusted by Spike Lee

How is Spike Lee still a thing? Dude has sucked for 30 years.

Lol

People truly need to cancel every single award show until they get their shit together and stop the nonsense of not acknowledging people of colour. This sends the a discouraging message that if you're not a particular 'race' then your talent will not be acknowledged.

Great so Spike Lee the Racist knows how to Sniff others? Makes sense ...

We LOVE YOU spikelee

The little angry man cried racism and got what he wanted again.
