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.

Sorry, I don't watch TV or movies. Your world that is apparently centered around celebrities is not the one I live in. Fuck off.

Actually, I haven't owned a TV for the last several years and there are very few movies I have gone to for at least that long.
Oh, FFS! My world is not in any way centered around celebrities. Even so, I at least am enough aware of the wider world beyond the tip of my nose that I know who Spike Lee is and what Cannes is about. Again, you need to get out more. Much more.
