Spike Lee is a racist.
He can't seem to let go of slavery.
Even though he had notes he stumbled worse than Nazi Pelosi through this silly acceptance speech:

"Then there was Spike Lee. Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott, and Spike Lee won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman and Lee took the opportunity to launch into a political speech by tying together today’s date, month and year as it relates to history. It was as rambling and odd as that sounds. Mostly it gave Lee a chance to remind everyone to “Do the right thing” when it comes to the presidential election in 2020.
Spike Lee: I want to thank Tanya, The word today is irony. The date, the 24th. The month, February, which also happens to be the shortest month of the year. Which also happens to be Black History Month. The year, 2019. The year, 1619. History, herstory. 1619, 2019. 400 years, our ancestors were stolen from Africa and enslaved. They worked the land from morning to night. My grandmothers, who lived 100 years young, a college graduate even though her mother was a slave. My grandmother, who saved 50 years of social security checks to put me through college. She called me Spiky Poo. She put me through film school. NYU! Before the world tonight I give praise to my ancestors who built our country, along with the genocide of our native people. We all connect with ancestors, to regain our humanity. It will be a powerful moment. The 2020 presidential election is around the corner. Let's all mobilize, let's all be on the right side of history. Make the moral choice between love versus hate. Let's do the right thing!"
