Early last week, film director Spike Lee spoke his mind about gentrification in places like the South Bronx, Harlem and his home borough, Brooklyn.
Lee's controversial comments didn't sit too well with some Brooklynites, and has now resorted in vandalism.
The NY Daily News Reports:
An angry vandal struck Spike Lee's former Fort Greene home on Friday, three days after he caused controversy by saying his old neighborhood looked like the "m—–f—–g Westminster dog show." An at-large tagger hit the 165 Washington Park family home that Lee referenced during his tirade on the changing demographics of Brooklyn, neighbors said. The anemic aerosol artist only wrote half of his famous film title "Do The Right Thing" on the side of the stoop. "I think that Spike needs to stop mentioning the house in his comments," Lee's half-brother Arnold, who lives at the home, told the Daily News. "He can say whatever he wants, but don't mention that."
Also, a neighbor's front door window was broken:
"I'm sure it's directly connected with the remarks he made," vandal victim Dionne Mackenzie said Friday. "I was p—–d as hell."
