So Wesley Snipes doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to black women. (He said a thing or two about our attitudes…) But really that doesn’t stop me from feeling some major sympathy for him and his tax situation. Three years in prison for taxes is really rough. Especially if you’re not […]
Everyone knows the President of the United States gets perks, but this is hot! Spike Lee made sure Mr. Obama had the new Jordans a month early, and delivered in a customized wooden box with the presidential emblem engrained into it. You think we’ll see him sporting them any time soon? Of course Barack Obama would […]

Spike Lee has never been one to shy away from controversy. In the 1988 film School Daze, Lee gives a semi-autobiographical account of his experience attending Morehouse College, the historically all male black institution in Atlanta, Georgia. With a satirical eye, Lee explored hot-button topics such as colorism, misogyny, class divisions and apartheid. While School Daze […]
*Sounding like he was hired by Tyler Perry, actor Clifton Powell had a few harsh words of his own about Spike Lee earlier this week on the “Russ Parr Morning Show.”
Actor, Clifton Powell has a serious message for Spike Lee. He visited the Russ Parr morning show and when asked about the Tyler Perry, Spike Lee feud, responded: “I don’t like Spike, for real. I’m just saying it publicly on the radio. Spike is a hater. He was doing all these movies, Sam and all […]
Tyler Perry visited The Monique Show and voiced how he felt about Spike Lee’s “attack” against him. Tyler Perry may be a cross-dresser but he makes very good points about the state of the black race in general and in film.
