As soon as Spike Lee used the "plantation" comment against Clint Eastwood, he murdered any of the (quite reasonable in some ways) points he's been trying to make.

Mr Lee has form against Eastwood too - he moaned about Eastwood making the Charlie Parker biog "Bird", because, uh, Clint is white and Bird was black. Also, Spike also ranted about "The Unforgiven" receiving an Oscar for best film, an award Spike felt his film at the time should have received ("Malcolm X"? "Mo Better Blues"?)...
