He's quite a lot more than that, and yes, imperfectly human.

Are you perhaps among those who feel uncomfortable while watching "Do the Right Thing"?
not at all - never watched it
I'm sure he's a talented producer/writer
Based on numerous interviews I have seen and read done 1 0n 1 with him

The only comment that can be made is that you don't know me and now you have jumped to two erroneous conclusions in this post.

“The idea that Spike Lee is a victim because we have repeatedly asked him to not use our employee entrance and instead use a dedicated VIP entrance – which is used by every other celebrity who enters The Garden – is laughable,” the team said. “It’s disappointing that Spike would create this false controversy to perpetuate drama. He is welcome to come to The Garden anytime via the VIP or general entrance; just not through our employee entrance, which is what he and Jim agreed to last night when they shook hands.”
Is that Page Six? Is that why you didn't source the quote? You do know that he was hassled after his ticket was scanned. I think that makes this Knicks story sketchy.

i admitted my error in the case of the man's father's occupation and am duly chastised. Now the issue must be why would you be spending so much effort on me.. I just said I don't like the guy and consider him a fraud. You disagree I can live with that. You're free to have your opinion. You have defined your criteria for my comment, but they are not mine. My comments had no tinge of racism from my side. If you heard them differently then you have a problem, not me. I have just two questions. What color am I and where did I grow up?

You said he acts like he's from the hood. Multiple people have asked you what this means and how he acts like he's from the hood and you never answered.

I'll ask again, how does Spike Lee act like he's from the hood?

Actually, I haven't been following this post. Only been responding to @WingU-Conn because he has been responding to me directly. I actually thought the whole garden incident was a tempest in a teapot that Mr. Lee blew up into something larger than necessary. To me it smacked of a privileged attitude that he was able to determine which rules at MSG applied to him and which applied to others. To me, he was trying to project MSG staff as disrespecting him when none was intended. I have been engaged with too many individuals who use false claims of disrespect to cause chaos and issues where it would have been much simpler to follow the rules. Typically the individuals in my experience have not performed in such a way as to earn respect. I projected that onto Spike Lee after viewing the video and hearing parts of his discussion with Stephen A and reading the MSG response. For those who I offended, my comment was thoughtless and I sincerely apologize.

My only concern is Spike starts showing up courtside at UConn games. We don't want that distraction but make no mistake about it, we BACK!!!!!

When I die, I want Dolan and his Knicks management team to be my pallbearers, so they can let me down one last time. #LifelongNightmare
