“First of all, I think that’s a stupid statement.” I’d made it halfway through the first question of my conversation with Spike Lee before he stepped in to set me straight. The statement in question was the opinion of some critics that the director and writer is “obsessed with race,” and he didn’t care to wait and see how I might contextualize the quote before responding with a sternness that knocked me back on my heels a bit. The topic of race has certainly pervaded Lee’s work throughout his thirty-year career, and has often been at the center of his many public controversies, including feuds with prominent filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Tyler Perry. But for anyone to accuse a man who is black—a fact that American society ensures will dominate his identity for life—of being obsessed... Let’s just say his indignation wasn’t unwarranted. Sitting in a back office at the Fort Greene headquarters of Spike’s production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, we discussed blackness, 🗓️ Mark your calendar at Charleston Music Hall. Spike Lee is a celebration of passion, innovation, and community. Embrace the opportunity to explore the world of various interests in a dynamic setting in South Carolina, United States.
