At theGrio, Spike Lee blasted Trump for not condemning the Klan and Alt-Right:
Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman was well received at the Cannes Film Festival, and the prolific director did not hold back giving his take on how President Donald Trump has contributed to a hateful, divisive culture.
In the movie, about a black man (John David Washington) who infiltrates the Ku Klux Klan, Lee inserted a moving documentary montage at the end of the film about the conflict in Charlottesville, reports Vulture. The movie included a powerful ending messaging about Heather Heyer, the young woman [who] was killed when a white nationalist ran her over with a car during the protests.
“It’s an ugly, ugly, ugly blemish on the United States of America,” Lee said at the press conference for the film.
The story contains a link to a YouTube video of Spike Lee's comments at Cannes, as well as a transcript of that video.

Mmmm... what? When did the thread above become something about racism?
Even more, when it was about Americans?
The way I read it, it's an exchange in which one was saying 'why should I care about TFA?' when he actually meant 'I don't give a damn' and me suggesting there are reasons one may care about; this until it became clear the question was a pure rhetoric one.
Ah, after mixing racism with religion, the things finally settled on 'it's about prejudice and you disparage Trump and America on prejudice grounds'.
Except I never done it in this thread. I only pointed that others are irritated by Trump and that's a reason enough to my mind to 'give a damn' about such details.
