Spike Lee has finally released a statement in response to the racist statements that actor Clint Eastwood made about Lee failing to include a single black soldier in his 2006 films Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima. The actor said that Spike should "Shut his face"! Spike responded with this:
"First of all, the man is not my father and we’re not on a plantation. The thing about it though, I didn’t personally attack him. And a comment like “a guy like that should shut his face” - come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right there. Even though he’s trying to have a Dirty Harry flashback,’ he said. ‘I’m going to take the Obama high road and end it right here.”
Leave it to Spike to take the high road! Gotta love it! Cause there were so many other roads he could have opted to take! Hell I know I would have!
