Trump accuses Spike Lee of launching a "racist attack"

US President Donald Trump today accused veteran filmmaker Spike Lee of launching a "racist attack" in his thank-you speech after winning an Oscar, in which he called to mobilize for the next few years. elections.
Lee won the award for best screenplay adapted by "The KKKlan Infiltrator", the story of a black policeman who had managed to infiltrate the highest reaches of the Ku Klux Klan.
In a speech in which he reviewed the history of slavery in the United States, Lee recalled his grandmother, who went to college "even though she was a slave" and – not to mention Trump – called on voters to be "on the right side of history."
"It would be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes – or better yet – not have to use notes when he made a racist attack against his president," Trump said in a tweet.
In the social network, Trump argued that he "had done more for African Americans" than any other president in history, citing criminal justice reform, unemployment at its lowest historic level and tax cuts.
In his speech last Sunday, Lee called to vote.
"The 2020 presidential election is fast approaching, let's all move forward, be on the right side of history, make the moral choice between love and hate, let's do the right thing!" S & # 39; he exclaimed.
For over 30 years, Lee has captivated the audience – and at times angered him – with his dark and provocative portrayal of the black US, with a mix of entertainment, activism and anger.
Many of his films have a strong political angle, like "Do the right thing", "Malcom X" and "Jungle Fever".
