Spike Lee's greatest contributions to American cinema have been socially and politically charged movies about race, and I remember Lee talking after Katrina how the government deliberately blew up levees to "clean out" poor black neighborhoods in Louisiana, a conspiracy theory worthy of the most ardently suspicious mind. ...
