filmmaker spike lee has a relationship with the new york knicks not the clippers.joins us as far more than just a fan of the game. first of all, when you first heard these remarks, what went through your mind? >> i said, why did it take so long? let me tell you a story. i never said this before. my right hand to god on my mother's grave. in los angeles 2011, the nba all-star game was there. me and my friend were at a restaurant and donald sterling called us over to his table, his wife rochelle was there. he started to say why are they going to go on strike, we should pay all the players $500,000. if they didn't play basketball they wouldn't have a job. i swear to god he said that. baron davis, who played for the clippers. he's my second cousin. so he's told me a whole lot of stuff about sterling. then you look at elgin baylor, the highest settlement in history. >> he was sued for racial discrimination in housing. he settled the largest fine ever in the history of housing discrimination. >> so tomorrow is a big day. the commissioner, the new commissioner, adam silve

we have some sound from spike lee. e comments about sterling and we're going to have you sound off on that after the break. i want to give you a sneak peek at what spike has to say. take a listen. >> tainting the other 29 partners. he's tainting the league and he's tainting america. when you hear something like that, that is a mentality of a slave master. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, like me, and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymph

spike lee has been openly critical i'm told of brooklyn's ongoing gentrification you were raised in harlem is hard to different now i was as absolutely do clinton and then changing a little a little bit i think you know bill coming up there were just showed the sign of the times you know when she was the change you know are obviously as you know you know when property values go up you know more of the for lack of a better term the indigenous folks that were already there. sort of get pushed out if you only fixed income or you're a lower bracket and you know it is it is i mean you know all of years ago was not very prominent neighborhood you know in the you know under oath of course of course and even in the thirty's and whatnot and cotton club and everything else but you know it's interesting now because listen it's a twofold answer for me one i grew up in harlem so there was a. safety factor that you always factored in you know you always kind of had to watch your back and you know there's drugs and crime and violence and now it's a lot safer you know but then it's lost some of

hollywood is so anxious and confused at the moment because they know they have to give money to spike leend to quentin tarantino and they don't like that fact. eventually they can co-opt them, hopefully. or make money off of them and hold their nose while they do it. uh, now the question i'm trying to ask is are these guys really mavericks or has hollywood style... is there no more hollywood style? or is perhaps the very notion of hollywood style fluid enough, elastic enough to be able to incorporate some of... that's what i think's happened. the umbrella's getting wider and i think hollywood is ready to move a bit outside its realm. i don't really agree that executives hold their nose because these are younger guys. they're sort of hip or fancy themselves sort of hip and they like to have dinner with quentin tarantino. if they're going to bend and make movies that do 40 or 50 million then let's make them part of the party. i think what has no place at all in hollywood is a movie that's going to cost $3 million and maybe do ten. that is not of interest to anybody. let me bring in whit sti

spike lee was born there. it is atlanta, georgia.ith berkshire hathaway perimeter in atlanta. i guess that means he can't come downtown. he's got to stay on the perimeter. today we focus on the city of roswell which is located about 20 miles from downtown. let's look at the stats for greater atlanta. average sales price, $389,000, average selling price, about $245,000. 4.7 months of inventory on the market. properties are on the market for about 80 days right now. welcome back. good to see you. >> thank you. >> our first listing is at 510 wheatridge bluff in roswell. asking $399,000, $5400 in taxes. a big house, 4800 square feet. why do we like this one? >> it's a spectacular house. it's located in brookfield country club. for the price, it's actually priced very well, considering all of the other houses in that subdivision. it's large. as you said, five bedrooms, four baths. it's been renovated. that house was built in 1987, as you can look at the pictures, can you see it's been renovated very nicely. hardwoods throughout. granite c

spike lee sat down with anderson cooper last night.n to what he said about the situation. >> he's tainted all of the other 29 partners. he's tainting the league and he's tainting america. we hear something like that. that's the mentality of a slave master. >> so when you have rhetoric like that going on, that puts even more pressure on mr. silver, right? >> i think that we have come a long way in a short amount of time. >> do you agree with spike lee? i should have asked you that first. >> i do think that he has a slave owners mentality. i'm not sure he's the only one. if you look across all of the board, he's been allowed to operate in this space for a long time. it's hard to fathom that he's the only one that may have these type of views and i think the way that his message was obtained, you know illegally, i don't know if he has the grounds to really pursue it and push him out of the ownership position. >> you heard rachel say if two-thirds of the owners come together and they want him out, he'll be out. shouldn't they come forward?

if you remember this come about the native buffalo soldiers and i thought it was tnt but i think spike lee corrected me it was hbo that had made the original. they came in within a year of each other and it was an eye-opener because there really is a moment, an opportunity for african american military movies. so, i decided to write a screenplay and there wasn't a lot back then. the first one from amazon was this big, and that was an original memoir so i read that and i got a recording of the original music from the band from james is the founding fathers some of the most amazing i have ever heard. and i got a documentary one of the last two hell fighters that were left alive so that was my research material and i read the script. nobody wanted it. nobody wanted it. when you're young and struggling you initially think it's my fault i'm a bad writer. i had one meeting that changed everything. a friend of ours said i will get the script to him and he said if i could make this in a heartbeat, i would. but i'm not going to get up and you shouldn't either and then what he said to me was they ar

terrell has been acting for over thirty years he's keen on nine of spike lee's movies and i think what kills but the coen brothers but he's also written and directed by time since his debut match in the nineteen ninety two which won the camera going on for at the very best first film shown in that he's handsome the attack and disbelief that we are in place of paint when you put it that way it sounds crass. this is one of the terms for what his character. marie schwartz ends up doing still married overheard his dermatologist played by sharon stone mentioned that she just really like to try and pass it on with another woman and a man not her husband larry knows that his friend. you don t play like that earl is pleasing to remain in a certain way it could use the money one thing leads to another. it's a girl. i was on my dermatologist today she was with her girlfriend and the team to the conclusion that the bloke wanted to have amanda and i was thinking of you. you need the money. a beautiful mind. excited i am the school. he has no roots in the region. he says if you wish you a few sente

from the reverend martin luther king , jr., to justice thurgood marshall, to tony morrison, to spike lee, to congressman john lewis, whom we are expecting to have with us today. i think he is coming right from the hill. all of these graduates of these schools have gone ton to lead in fields ranging from politics, to literature and the arts. for 70 years the united negro college fund has been the financial lifeline that allowed many students at historically black colleges to thrive. every year the fund provides more than $100 million in scholarships to tens of thousand of students. over the decades the fund has raised and distributed more than $3 billion in educational assistance. and in 1999 was the beneficiary of a one billion dollars gift from the bill and melinda gates foundation. a billion dollars may seem like a lot of money even here in washington but the need is so great that for the united negro college fund, even a billion dollars will run out eventually. and that is just one of the challenges the united negro college fund faces as it enters its 8th decade. here to address those

there's a great scene in "do the right thing" where spike lee had magic johnson on saying where are theal. that's what this is like. >> councilman, the other ironic twist to this story is los angeles chapter of naacp was going to give this man a lifetime achievement award. despite what happened now today, he's long been accused of racist behavior. he settled a suit with the department of justice when he wouldn't allow minorities to rent out his properties. >> i think mr. brian gumbel hit it best when he said for people that are surprised, i'm surprised that you're surprised. he has a long history dealing with his real estate. certainly was a well publicized lawsuit. it's not a real surprised if you follow history. >> what's with local chapter of naacp? >> i think what you have there is people have somewhat put aside what his history is. this is the second time that they were going to honor him for humanitarian efforts and i think what you find, which is misleading, is every week there's a full-page ad in l.a. sentinel that shows all of the things that he's contributing to which i think

and the have nots in this and those are left and harry belafonte spoke today being introduced by spike lee who made it possible to include public good to me and film with the uses of music and film to make political statements so that was the high point of the rock n roll hall of fame and when you design your signature public enemy logo not used as if it were but the group why don't you guys decide to put a man in crosshairs if you feel like a group is being targeted and if so by whom. well. r. and b. which is the name age he started off in one nine hundred eighty when ronald wilson reagan became president. that was the beginning of r. and b. reagan and bush and being a black man twenty years old in one nine hundred eighty going through the decade of the eighty's i seen a lot of things that were highly hypocritical the same old guard in charge and just a total white washing over everything president in order to get back to the great old american spirit for whatever that meant so witnessing this and the eighty's with the whole thing about you know reagan and i knew that being a black man or
