Jackson, who presented Spike Lee with the director’s first Oscar for BlacKkKlansman. He won for Writing (Adapted Screenplay). While accepting his award, Lee called for Americans to “mobilize” against President Donald Trump in 2020.
He would say, ““Let’s all mobilize. Let’s all be on the right side of history.” He would add, ““Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let’s do the right thing. You know I had to get that in there.” The director also stated during his acceptance speech, “400 years. 400 years our ancestors were stolen from mother Africa and brought to Jamestown, Virginia. Enslaved. Our ancestors worked from can’t see in the morning to can’t see at night.”
According to Ebony, Lee was visibly angry after Green Book won the Oscar for Best Picture beating out his BlacKkKlansmen and he attempted to storm out of the theater before he was stopped and returned to his seat.

President Trump would take issue with Spike Lee’s Oscar speech calling it a “racist hit” and stating that he “has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts, etc.) than almost any other Pres!”
Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!
