The Hypersensitive Whining of the World's Oldest Toddler

Somebody on Fox News had to have told Trump that Spike Lee made a "racist speech" about Trump at the Oscars, for this is what Cadet Bone Spurs tweeted about it:

This is what Spike Lee said:

All right. I wanna thank Tonya [Lewis Lee, his wife].

The word today is “irony.” The date, the 24th. The month, February, which also happens to be the shortest month of the year, which also happens to be Black History month. The year, 2019. The year, 1619. History. Her story. 1619. 2019. 400 years.

Four hundred years. Our ancestors were stolen from Mother Africa and bought to Jamestown, Virginia, enslaved. Our ancestors worked the land from can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night. My grandmother, [inaudible], who lived to be 100 years young, who was a Spelman College graduate even though her mother was a slave. My grandmother who saved 50 years of social security checks to put her first grandchild — she called me Spikie-poo — she put me through Morehouse College and N.Y.U. grad film. N.Y.U.!

Before the world tonight, I give praise to our ancestors who have built this country into what it is today along with the genocide of its native people. We all connect with our ancestors. We will have love and wisdom regained, we will regain our humanity. It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing! You know I had to get that in there.

No rational human adult would see that speech in the way that Trump does. But then again, Trump had to be prodded hard to condemn the Nazis of Charlottesville. The modern American Nazis are part of Trump's base. When he has to speak out against them, he does it as tepidly as possible.
