Spike Lee Attacks Hollywood

In what appears to be common practice for Mr. Spike Lee, the director of Malcolm X attacked Hollywood's "all-white" environment. For those who may not know, Spike Lee's status as a maverick film director comes with the price of constantly working to improve the opportunities in filmmaking to minorities.

During the production of "Do the Right Thing," Spike Lee actually went around the then all-white unions to hire black set workers.

Here is a quote from the Complex Magazine article:

"You go to any studio, the (only) black guy you are going to see is the guy at the gate. In Hollywood, there is not one African-American who is an executive that has gatekeeper position that could greenlight a picture"

What do you think about this article? The success of the Medea movies provides the most recent example of African-Americans working independently to create profitable movies.
