Spike Lee draws major backlash from his appearance on #CNNTownHall, as conservatives lay into him for telling it like it is! [VIDEO]

Thirteen years later, the people are still at war with terrorism, racism, and themselves, chief among them all. This year saw a transition of political power and race relations hit the lowest they have in decades. A lot of this could be avoided if everyone listens to each other.

What makes America special, and the greatest nation of them all, is the fact that everyone has a voice. It is important to have liberals, moderates, conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, and independents, and safety for all. Somewhere, some of these people shifted.

CNN held their “CNN Town Hall” and Spike Lee was a speaker, alongside Hines Ward, a former NFL star. The topic was about NFL players kneeling before games, something that’s sparked outrage. A lot of people, from outside of the culture, have criticized Spike Lee for being on the program.

Spike Lee’s reason for being on there is because of what he has done for the culture, as one of the first producers to give people of color a platform. No, this does not make him the voice for all minorities, but he remains a voice. The town hall allowed him to speak with people who have veterans in their families, who have made sacrifices for the flag.

However, it’s clear, from the people on Twitter, that their minds are already made up, and they simply do not get it. A major problem is that we have all forgotten that we are all human, and we should all unite as one, to stand up for each other.
