SPIKE LEE ON making Washington, D.C. a “chocolate city.”

UPDATE: More thoughts from Juliette Ochieng: “Obama’s chronic dissembling has some of my white brethren nervous about everything. But if you want to pick on something Lee said, pick on the idea that more black people in DC would mean better management of disaster preparedness. If that concept were true, there would be no whining about Katrina in the first place.”
