Italian Americans: Spike Lee's a Hypocrite

Mamma mia! Angry black man Spike Lee is getting a taste of his own opportunistic outrage.

After spending the past couple weeks hectoring fellow director Clint Eastwood with charges of prejudiced casting, Lee is now under fire from the Italic Institute of America, which is as bitter as Campari about Lee's portrayal of Italians.

According to Bill Dal Cerro, president of the Italic Institute of America, Lee may have his own anti-Italian racist tendencies to worry about.

'Spike Lee is very talented, but I sometimes wish he'd practice what he preaches,' Dal Cerro said. 'His points about African-Americans are well taken, but, ironically, he does the same thing to Italians in his films.'

While Dal Cerro doesn't get into specific charges against Lee, we imagine he takes issue with the way a lot of the Italian Americans in Lee's films are fiery, Brooklyn-accented racists who would rather see their daughter's dead than with 'some fuggin' moulignan.' It is a little suspect, but then again, you won't catch our wide nose in Bensonhurst at night.

After the jump, 'Fuck you, fuck your fuckin' pizza and fuck Frank Sinatra.'
