Lee also "respectfully disagrees" with Jesse Jackson, who threatened to castrate Obama for publicly chastising missing black fathers. "You can't hide that stuff," Lee told us. "Single-parent households, high-school dropouts. The statistics are there for everybody to see. We have to confront that head-on. Don't be like the New England Patriots - think that you just have to show up," he preached. "The Republicans are going to try all kinds of hijinks. Shenanigans. Trickery. Flimflam. They'll try to hornswoggle us, bamboozle us. It's not a done deal!"

First, I go by the 'one-drop rule,'" he said in Denver, where he has come to see firsthand his man accept the Democratic nomination for President.
"One drop [of black blood], and you're black. The truth is, every African-American is biracial. Go back far enough, and you'll find the massah was
in the slave quarters. You can't be black and go to Harvard Law School? You can't be black
and be articulate?"

You really have to go back and understand the context. He was responding to an ignorant comment made by ChucK D about Obama not being black enough, or some
other bullshit.

Call me crazy, but what was so wrong/bad about what he said even without knowing the original context of the statement?
