Spike Lee on Blackface at College: ‘Frat Boys Dressing in Negative Costumes’ to This Day

RUSH EXCERPT:

COOPER: “It's also that you -- when I first heard this, about the governor, you think, okay, is this what he did in high school, in 1956 or 1957, but this is what he did in the end of medical school in 1984. The attorney general, I think it was also in the early '80s, as well. It's not as if at that point, people shouldn't have known better. People should have known better about blackface.”

LEE: “True, but even today, Anderson, as many times on college campuses, particularly frat houses, where frat boys are dressing up in negative costumes and blackface and stuff like that, mimicking African-American culture. So we don't have to go back to the '80s. This stuff is happening today on college, in colleges and universities in the united States of America.”
