One reason, back in early 80's when it came out, I worked Armed Security at some local Brother Clubs i.e. Disco/R&B Clubs, went after hours clubs, byob clubs, anyhoo.that played on the big screens and it played almost everynight over and over and over and over..

But very instructive B Etor

So just how did he remain under containment or control?

Wait..

Spike Lee doesn't equal the significance of a pimple on Clint Eastwood's ass.

White people? He annoys black people. He's blacker than black people. It's gotten to the point where they're abandoning ebonics.

At the start of WW2, black men were not allowed to serve in the Marine Corps or the Navy and were segregated in the Army. I do not have the information handy, but IIRC, they did not serve in great numbers in either the Marines or Navy by war's end (in the Navy they primarily served as stewards).

I have no data on blacks in the Japanese military but I'm just going to assume there weren't any.

Given that both movies are about Iwo Jima, it doesn't seem likely that there were many blacks involved at all.

Now if Spike wants a movie about blacks in the military, he should make one about the 369th Infantry regiment, which served with distinction in WW1, and (IIRC) was the most decorated unit of the war.

I don't care if this is just a joke of yours and you're really not racist -- this remark was inane and thoughtless.

What blacks served in the Confederate Army out of free will?

Less than one percent maybe, with rest serving in Union Army?

Wrong Mr.Fun is was well thought out as much as Spike's BS he thought out when trying to draw attention to the po oppressed of the world..



Its too freakin hiliarious to not have fun, this isn't KKK hanging a boo, thats wrong

This is about a Brother wanting to re-write history so the plight of the po coloreds can be yet rehashed and drawn and quartered once more.

Oh and by the way, them coloreds did cook and shine shoes real well, so that was a signifigant contribution in and of itself.

The whole point, which most here see, is that Clint did a good deed in recounting the historical accuracy, or so it seems.

Wait, was Clint involved in Bird..about some colored jazz boy?

Charlie "Bird" Parker is one of the most important figures in jazz history and also one of its greatest tragic heroes. He got his nickname (also known as "Yardbird") from his love of chicken. He came from Kansas City and was a self-taught Alto Saxophonist who didn't realize that many jazz songs of the day were only played in a few keys, so he learned them all. He quit school at the age of 15 to become a musician. His education was brutal: once he tried playing Body and Soul in double-time and was laughed off of the stage. Another time, he was playing with Count Basie's orchestra in a jam session. They were playing I got rhythm and Bird lost the key and couldn't find it. Basie's drummer, Jo Jones completed his humiliation by throwing his cymbal at Bird's feet. Bird continued practicing and got the point where he could play Lester Young's solos in double time.


Bird then joined Jay McShann's band and Billy Eckstine's band, and during this time, Bird experienced what he called "an epiphany" and he finally figured out how to play the music he had been hearing in his head. He joined Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Christian, Kenny Clarke and Thelonious Monk at the after-hours jam sessions at Minton's Uptown House in Harlem, and there BeBop was born. Parker's style revolutionized jazz and he became the messiah of modern jazz. Parker and Gillespie formed a legendary small group during this time that played some of the greatest jazz ever. It almost seemed like divine forces brought all these people at the same place at the same time in history.


However, Parker had a self-destructive streak in him and did anything for a thrill. He lived an amoral life and lived for any "high" he could get. His heroin habit caused him to miss many gigs and caused Dizzie to leave the group and it eventually was a cause of a nervous breakdown that landed Bird in a mental hospital. He came back and reformed his quintet with Miles Davis taking Gillespie's place and continued making great music.


In one of his more unique ventures, Bird made the first "with strings" album, in which he was backed by a stringed orchestra. It was the first of a popular series of recordings of this type that many other artists made, and in my book, it's still the best one. Most sources I have checked out agree that his recordings with Dial and Savoy remain his best work.


Bird's self-destructive life style finally caught up with him in 1955 and he died at the age of 34. He had so badly abused his body that the doctor who examined him estimated his age at 60. Besides his often imitated, but never matched style, he left behind a terrible legacy with other jazz musicians, who also did drugs, thinking if they used like Bird, they could play like Bird.


The stories of Bird's musical genius are too lengthy to list. Miles Davis said the only time you were surprised with Bird was when he didn't do something amazing on the bandstand. He could literally walk in off the street and start playing, and never make a mistake. His playing was fast, perky, and very bluesy, all wrapped up into one. He can make you bounce around one moment and feel his pain the next. His music is rooted in the Kansas City blues and every song he played had a blues twist to it.

This was made into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Forrest Whitaker.

I did not watch but it seems that Charlie was a colored boy, now, I assume, it was historically accurate?

I also unerstand Charlie Parker was also a genius in the performance of Jazz.

I reckon bringing this up is ok but when I bring up he was a drug addict, I am being rascist by demeaning this mans life and also damning all colored folks good name by suggesting that colored folks do drugs?

Now what am I missing?

Thansk Mr. Fun, your turn sir

Now what am I missing?

The fact that Spike Lee made an actual argument, however misguided and silly. Whereas you chose simply to trot out every single offensive racial term and steroetype I can think of -- stopping short only of the word "******" itself -- and then pull that "just joking!" bull**** when somebody called you on it, which is what you usually do when someone calls you on the expressions of flat-out ignorance and bigotry that creep into many of your posts. But a lot of people don't find it "fawnee," Gramps; if someone said something like that in my home, he'd find himself propelled toward the door by the boot up his ass.

Or put more succinctly: Lee's comments were stupid; yours were sickening.

[DanS]

I would like to know whether what Spike Lee says is true: That there were black soldiers at Iwo Jima (this includes the supply train).

[Imran Siddiqui]

Apparently there were:

With pictures even! But, of course, in segregated units.

I never used the word you did

Now, am I joking or is this a BS comment?

I am merely running this up the flagpole.

Oh and if ya dont like it or it is simply too "sickening" then dont read or dont comment.

I am merely presenting just how silly it seems.

Like an accident, depends on the point of view.

I choose to call a spade a spade, oopps..I reckon now because a card game has Hearts,Diamonds,clubs and "that ugly associated word" we cannot speak nor think about a word that might be considered "sickening" to a few narrow-minded individuals.

People, I am having a little humor and no am not being rascist then say "I am joking" but merely shedding light on what is yet another absurdity of life, nit picking these movies Clint made.

To me, its like saying its wrong to use the Tomahawk chop as an Atlanta Brave because it demeans the Native American Indians.

Ok

Next up

EDIT: Missed the comment about a boot up an ass, tell me, do you walk the walk or just talk the talk?
