lynnelber Urkel? 🤣

lynnelber So far from reality it's scary. We can blame Hollywood for the moral decay of our youth.

lynnelber Prince carried off wearing purple very well. Spike not at all. Not handsome, attractive, cute or stylish. Just sort of creepy.

lynnelber Maybe just maybe Your movies aren’t good enough?

lynnelber Spike Lee hes obviously. rascist

lynnelber You got more love last night than Uncle Drew did, motherfucker. He drove to the rim in worse shoes than you got on. Sh!t.

lynnelber Your movies only appeal to a certain group. Stop being Racist

lynnelber An angry man all the way around

lynnelber I thought he was funny.

lynnelber

lynnelber

lynnelber Spike Lee = vicarious embarrassment

lynnelber That is what a true racist is folks.

lynnelber Reminds me of Hunger Games.

lynnelber Spike Lee is a child

lynnelber Boohoohoo

lynnelber Who dressed Spike...Garanimals?

lynnelber MAGAPhobia

lynnelber Oh the irony as Spike was dressed like a driver.

lynnelber waa waa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lynnelber It’s cute how the black civil rights leader who makes movies is being called racist by the white supremacy leader who promotes violence.

lynnelber This display isn’t disappointment, it’s poor sportsmanship. Boohoo- your movie wasn’t good enough to win. That’s still an Oscar in your hand

lynnelber He is so full of himself. This is what happens when you call white people racists ad nauseam. They give you an Oscar in the hope that you will just SHUT up. SpikeLee Oscars

lynnelber It's the honest truth.. Spike Lee's next movie should be Dave Chappelle driving Carrot Top during Ramadan. Then maybe he'll win Best Picture. maybe....

lynnelber He thinks he’s cute

lynnelber When a 60 yr+ shows up dressed like a 16 yr old and has a sissy tantrum when he doesn't win....Didn't they give him the mini sharpton statuette?

lynnelber Sick of Spike Lee.

lynnelber After he wins Best Director. I thought the left was all about 'spreading the wealth' around?

lynnelber Spike’s a sad old man concerned only with racial divide in a time when racial equality has never been better (despite inflammatory news). Thus he has no relevance; no raison d’etre. Black Klansman was a great flick though, I’ll give him that; and Ron Stallworth is a stud cop.

lynnelber Listen to this black fool, why doesn't someone call out this jerk?

lynnelber Nobody cares what some insignificant overrated celebrity thinks. He looked like the grape in the Fruit of the Loom ads. The only thing that sucks worse than his movies are his beloved Knicks.

lynnelber Driving the message home. I think we are seeing the unintended consequence of more movies in the running as well.

lynnelber Whee have I seen that look...oh yeah

lynnelber Let’s be perfectly honest...if The Green Book didn’t win it would’ve been A Star is Born and black people would’ve still had a problem because it wasn’t BlakkKlansman or Black Panther

lynnelber I know AP just luvs luvs luvs Spike Lee as does Hollywood ... but apparently no one else does ..

lynnelber Who’s this little guy?

lynnelber It’s the sad reality that no matter how many black movies, directors, actresses, actors, producers, screenwriters, etc are nominated black people will have something to complain about with the victim mentality.

lynnelber what a complete a**

lynnelber That's a grown man dressed like that 🤣

JSCCounterPunch lynnelber M'eh, Spike Lee's dead.

lynnelber I think he needs help

lynnelber lydiasusannowen

Here you go, Spike.

lynnelber No! You lost because you want love to win over hate...

lynnelber What a tool

lynnelber Driving Miss Daisy reference clever truth

lynnelber trump SpikeLee russia

lynnelber He’s hysterical.

lynnelber What a dimwit!

lynnelber It's not about you, Sunshine. Stick with the Knicks.

lynnelber he wasn't angry, disappointment or upset -- if anything, he was being coy or having fun about it... a black man joking does not equal anger... it's a sad day with the associated press furthers racial divide aligned with trump

lynnelber did he steal that outfit from prince's closet ?

lynnelber 😂

lynnelber A multi-millionaire wins a prize given to him by other multi-millionaires. Big deal 🙄

lynnelber

lynnelber Or maybe spike lee's movies are just overrated shit that didn't deserve to win

lynnelber Did you get the message?

lynnelber 🙄

lynnelber He is a race baiting ignorant individual

lynnelber

lynnelber That is actually funny

lynnelber Very confused as to why Green Book is getting hate!

lynnelber Spike Lee hahahahahah LOSER!!!!!

lynnelber Crybaby.
