OXFORD, Miss. - Director Spike Lee, known for his stylish and controversial films, said Mississippi should get rid of the state flag during a speech at the University of Mississippi's Black History Month celebration.
Lee said Mississippians cling too tightly to what he considers symbols of oppression.

"You've gotta do something about that flag," he said. "I know people say its representative of history. Well, so's the swastika."

Lee is working on a documentary entitled "When the Levees Broke," which deals with the African-American experience in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Lee also targeted certain aspects of modern black culture during his speech.

Lee said that rap culture has perpetuated a cult of violence, drug use, disrespect to women and ignorance among a staggering portion of young blacks.
"This 'gangsta' obsession is madness," Lee said. "Thinking like that is genocide."

It appears Mr. Lee would feel at home at the Phora.

You 'whitey americanis' should've transported them 'blackus americanis' back to Africa when ya had the chance.

Although he's preeching on black history month(only in america). I still like his movie ''25th hour'' - featuring Edward Norton.

I tried to watch a Spike Lee movie and it was affected and boring, while my 2 liberal whitey friends sat riveted to their chairs snickering at the New York Italiano caricatures, or whatever white he was smearing at the time. I do believe the little twerp had Italians in his crosshairs for awhile as payback aimed at Martin Scorsese.
