He came from good African American stock his father being a jazz musician and his mother a school teacher where he was raised in Brooklyn, New York. Lee's When the Levees Broke aired as a four hour long documentary on the Katrina disaster replete with a appearances and comments by Lee himself. The pictures were hard to look at and the stories were heart rending. What was harder for many Americans to withstand was the obvious anti Bush rant that Lee used the disaster as a platform from which to blast the president. The IMDb (Internet Movie Database) which is touted as the earth's biggest movie database quotes Lee for saying I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable Some may like to question whether Mr. Lee can differentiate between an opportunity and an invitation. Using power and the media is just that but must not be confused with an invitation.Spike Lee]]> Ray Nagin]]> Lee]]> Nagin]]> CNN]]> Katrina]]> levees]]> New Orleans]]> Louisiana]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Spike-Lee-And-Ray-Nagin---What-Do-They-Have-In-Common/62710 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Spike-Lee-And-Ray-Nagin---What-Do-They-Have-In-Common/62710
