spike lee in a CNN interview (ostensibly about his new movie) came out strongly in support of cosby's recent comments -- which he's support since they were uttered. he applauded on the air and stated (paraphrasing) that in the past black kids were unable to read due to poor, segregated schools; now many can't read and write by choice. they identify being able to read with being "white" and attack their fellow students who want to learn for acting and wanting to be "white." actually, this is old news.
the tragedy and irony of this is beyond sad. that's my 50 cents.
now the list can attack spike lee.
