Spike Lee Tells Obama To "Go Off" On BP

Now that everyone has weighed in on the BP disaster, Spike Lee adds his two cents.

Saying that the President needs to "go off" on BP plays into the hands of the republican critics.

The interesting thing is that everybody has a suggestion, but, no one has any idea how to shut off the oil. Not the President, Spike Lee, Glen Beck, or Bobby Jindal. They all scream loudly that the President should do something, but what? No technical expertise, just misdirected anger.

Where were these angry voices when New Orleans was drowning, Iraqis were tortured and the deficit ballooned?

The other day a white man looking at his newspaper said to me, "boy, man is really destroying this planet." The truth is, the white man is destroying this planet. Native Africans and Native Americans never had environmental problems until the arrival of the white man. 30 million buffalo were reduced to a few thousand. Rhinos, elephants, and lions were hunted to near extinction. Air pollution and water pollution killed millions of birds and fish. Strip mining and oil drilling destroyed thousands of acres of habitat for endangered animals. Every animal with fur was hunted to near extinction in North America.

Unless Anderson Cooper and Spike Lee have an ironclad answer on reducing the oil flow, they need to shut the fuck up. Either be part of the problem or part of the solution. Spikes solution, for the President to get mad, accomplishes nothing.

However, it pleases the white man to see the Black President criticized by Black people. Thanks Spike.
