SPIKE LEE: “11 YEARS OLD IS NOT TOO YOUNG…” TO BOYCOTT
Film Director Spike Lee was joined by his 11-year-old son Jackson and a number of protesters as they stood outside of the New York Post building on February 20th, 2009 in Manhattan. The crowd of more than 300, including the Reverend Al Sharpton, protested against a cartoon published by the NyPost, a cartoon that has been slandered as being racially insensitive to African Americans. Moreover, the cartoon has also been described as depicting President Barack Obama as Chimpanzee.
Spike said that he was happy to bring his son Jackson to the boycott because “11 years old is not too young to know what’s happening in the world”. See more pictures…

I love Jackson’s big inquisitive eyes! And with Spike and Tonya as parents I’m sure his inner beauty matches the outer. He is definitely one to look out for in twenty years- he will be great for my ten year old daughter!

Spike Lee is absolutely right to let Jackson learn early about the racism that exists so when he becomes a young man he will know how to deal with it.

The crap wasn’t racist. People really need to stop throwing that word around at every little thing.

I don’t know whether it’s just me or if maybe everybody else encountering issues with your internet site. It appears like some with the written text inside your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please offer feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This may possibly be a issue with my browser because I’re had this happen previously. Thank you
