The trouble with Florida's 'stand your ground' law

[twyacht]

Your right Timothy, they start there own production companies, only hire from within certain circles, certain ethnicities,(sounds kinda discriminatory doesn't it?) Imagine if a predominately white owned company did what he is doing.

Either way, he has the attention and money from the Black Community that will gladly pay to watch his stuff...Narrowing his parameters to that extent, will only make him a two-bit, 2nd rate producer. He had his 15 minutes of fame when he kept his mouth shut and just made movies....Now?

He's exposed himself as no better than a race baiting, racially motivated, B-Ball watchin' idiot.

Didn't we have a word for people like that before "political correctness" took over ?

He's made a dozen movies with some real talent from the black community.  I've seen a few over the years for no other reason than the actor that was in them.  Snipes (bankrupt), Denzel (worth watching) and several others.  I'd say that of those movies, he's probably hit his nitch audience but not much more.

Will this hurt him?  Doubtful!  He, like Sly Stallone and the "Arnold" can't make a movie anymore that they don't have complete control over.

Maybe the movie will earn  him a Pulitzer Prize...or do you only get those from Kracker Jack boxes now?

Kinda like someones Nobel Peace Prize for being ... for being ... for being ... what the hell did he do anyway  

I wonder if there is a clause in that award that can be used to take it back in cases of provoking civil unrest and fanning the flames of racism and class warfare?  Or should I say lighting the fires of ...

Back when Spikey was cutting his teeth, movies like The Color Purple, the one where Morgan Freeman was the school principle, (can't remember the title offhand), and a few others, were GOOD movies.

Robert Duvall and Sean Penn as street cops in the LA Hood was also another good movie...came out in the late 80's....Either way, the tone of the rhetoric is exploited now. The MSM is actually enabling a potential violent Rodney King part II....outcome if the Grand Jury doesn't find Zimmerman guilty before proven innocent....

O'Reilly discussed this on his show tonight, made some good points......Lots to consider, but becomes a moot point when the riots break out.

"Lean on me" was a Morgan Freeman acted, true story about a high school that was "resurrected" from a slum of an inner city school!

It has nothing to do with Spike!

Freeman, though a liberal, I've yet to see work in a film that was too racist.  He's a gifted man.....regardless of his upbringing!

I thought he was excellent in Bruce Almighty, however, he was once a great actor on "The Electric Company",....PBS, back in the day....Yes I watched it as a kid....

Thanks Timothy. My gray matter is becoming more gray here lately...

BTW...The Color Purple was directed by Spielberg...well done if you understand the turmoil of the time!

Spike is nothing to Hollyweird!
