Spike Lee Laments Jesse Jackson

Spike Lee: “I don’t think his (Jackson’s) comments help anybody. It’s just unfortunate. When that happens, it will change everything. … You’ll have to measure time by `Before Obama’ and `After Obama. It’s an exciting time to be alive now. Everything’s going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe.”

“There are middle-class, educated black people who speak the way he does. … We have to try to move away from this so-called image of what black is, which is largely influenced by rap and that type of stuff. I’m for Mr. Obama. I think he’s gonna win. And it’s going to be a better day not only for the United States but for the world.”
