Institutional Racism Spike Lee
595 wordsAnyone who would dismiss Spike Lee as a racist is confusing pride with prejudice. Sure, hes abrasive, blunt, unvarnished and maybe egotistical. But hes also got the self-confidence, fearlessness and knowledge of his personal mission that in past years, and some parts of Idaho today, would have gotten him called an uppity N-word, maybe worse. This reaction to him, to him in America today, and on our campus this week, is an illustration of how far whites (yes, whites) in this nation have not come....
