What does Spike Lee think about Bill Cosby’s recent call-to-action to the black community? Here’s what Spike says:

I’m very happy that Bill Cosby is saying what he’s saying now. I feel Bill Cosby deserves the right to say whatever he wants to say. And don’t think Bill is saying this so that people can agree or disagree with him. He’s saying — I’ve talked to him — he wants the focus to be put on our youth. African-Americans need to put the focus on ourselves, what we need to do. There are things that we can’t ask anybody else to do. Because of the, some people might call them tirades — I don’t — people are talking about these issues, issues that need to be addressed within the African-American community.

Good on ya, Spike.
