Spike Lee told a sold-out crowd that he likes Bernie Sanders

[Catherina]

Spike Lee told a sold-out crowd at Webster University in St Louis tonight that he likes Bernie Sanders.
The name drop electrified the room and was applauded.

do you think there will be a video? i wanna see this!!

There was no recording or pictures allowed. If any surfaces, it will be from the university. It doesnt really matter, but I think some of you concerned about Bernie getting the black's vote would be happy with the audience who heard him say this.

...

Spike Lee just spiked Bernie's poll numbers boyy

...

On a night heavily focused on racism and inequality in our city, it was pretty powerful.

2. this is good

but let's be careful how we accept this news, we shall not take any people's potential vote for granted.

I'm basically saying black people can think for themselves essentially and this is a pretty good endorsement. I just don't want anyone to take this as "Spike Lee likes Bernie! Now all the blacks will love him!" that can be an ignorant viewpoint.

good news nonetheless!

4. Of course but this is to show that Bernie will do fine with the AA vote

despite the deliberate and nasty smear campaign launched against him.

3. pfffft.. please. The kids don't care about Spike Lee..

endorsements from Maggie Hassan and Howard Dean is what will influence the young voters.
