A new working week, President Donald trump began with a critique of the Director and screenwriter spike Lee, who in his speech at the ceremony of awarding the prize «Oscar» urged to vote in 2020, «love is hate».
«It would be nice if spike Lee read your notes or even better — at all did not use them when doing a racist attack against your President,» wrote trump on Twitter today, 25 February, adding that it was done for African Americans more than any other American leader. (This, according to him, talking about tax cuts, unemployment and criminal law reform.)
Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!

Spike Lee received an Oscar for best adapted screenplay for the film «Black all kinds of things over», filmed on the eponymous book by Ron Stalworth 2014. In his speech, the Director also said that the story of his family in the United States can be tracked starting with the first slaves brought from Africa.
«Tonight, the world I give praise to our ancestors who made this country what it is today… — said Lee. We are United with the ancestors. We will find love and wisdom, we will renew humanity. It will be powerful!»
Spike Lee is the only one at the ceremony touched on policy — without mentioning, however, trump.
«The presidential election of 2020 is not far off. Let’s all mobilethese — called If the scene. Let’s take the right side of history. Make the ethical choice between love and hate.»
Previously, Lee was highly critical of trump, calling the President «Agent Orange». In his view, trump «is a man of hatred, violence, and he cannot be trusted to make ethical decisions».
Mixed reaction to spike Lee on the announcement of the best film (they became the «Green book» as «all kinds of things over» on the fight against racism in the US) was one of the most memorable events of the evening. First, the Director tried to leave the room, but after he was asked to return, decided to brighten up his evening a large amount of alcohol. Lee has not commented on the incident, but his point of view seems to be shared by as many critics and ordinary viewers, who condemned the «book» for superficial coverage of the topic of racism.
«»The green book» was not for African Americans. — said the activist Brittany Packnett — It was rented out to white is not worried that so few are doing to combat racism in the global sense of the word.»
«»The green book» — the perfect the best film in the country, closing its eyes to the current situation, unwilling to admit how she came to be in such a situation, and refusing to understand what needs to change,» added Adam Server from The Atlantic.
Asked about the «Green Book,» Spike Lee decided it was time for more champagne.
