By America with George Ramos, Oct. 31, 2014, Fusion.net

Spike Lee calls it like he sees it. And he told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos that a post-racial America is “bullshit” and police departments don’t treat all Americans equally. He also took a swipe at the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” TV show, saying it highlights the “destruction of the modern world.”

“There’s a big division for the police departments, I think, in this country, versus people of color,” Lee said.

Lee has been a filmmaking force for over thirty years, and his raw portrayals of urban life and racial issues drove his early success. His 1989 masterpiece “Do the Right Thing’ climaxes with a scene of police brutality, and life imitated art in July when Eric Garner died during a routine arrest in Staten Island after being put in a chokehold by a NYPD officer. It was all captured in a cell phone video by bystander Ramsey Orta.

“When I saw Ramsey’s footage… it was very eerie… I said, ‘This is just like Radio Raheem!’” Lee told Ramos. “I said we’ve got to cut this stuff.” The resultingmashup grew into a documentary about Garner called “I Can’t Breathe.”
