If we could just be Americans no matter our origin, this country could be great again!

The hyphen by John Wayne in 1973


The Hyphen, Webster's Dictionary defines,
Is a symbol used to divide a compound word or a single
word.
So it seems to me that when a man calls himself
An "Afro-American," a "Mexican-American," "Italian-
American,"
An "Irish-American," "Jewish-American,"
What he's sayin' is, "I'm a divided American."

Well, we all came from other places,
Different creeds and different races,
To form a nation...to become as one.
Yet look at the harm a line has done--
A simple little line, and yet
As divisive as a line can get.
A crooked cross the Nazis flew,
And the Russian hammer and sickle too--
Time bombs in the lives of Man;
But none of these could ever fan
The flames of hatred faster than
The Hyphen.

The Russian hammer built a wall
That locks men's hearts from freedom's call.
A crooked cross flew overhead
Above twenty million tragic dead--
Among them men from this great nation,
Who died for freedom's preservation.
(From: Song Lyrics - eLyrics.net)
A hyphen is a line that's small;
It can be a bridge or be a wall.
A bridge can save you lots of time;
A wall you always have to climb.
The road to liberty lies true.
The Hyphen's use is up to you.

Used as a bridge, it can span
All the differences of Man.
Being free in mind and soul
Should be our most important goal.
If you use The Hyphen as a wall,
You'll make your life mean...and small.
An American is a special breed,
Whose people came to her in need.
They came to her that they might find
A world where they'd have peace of mind,
Where men are equal...and something more--
Stand taller than they stood before.

So you be wise in your decision,
And that little line won't cause division.
Let's join hands with one another...
For in this land, each man's your brother.
United we stand...divided we fall.
We're Americans...and that says it all.

How is this surprising? Spike has had it out for Tarantino for many years...

This right here is true. Spike is extremely jelli of Tarantino. As Samuel L Jackson told Spike, you haven't had an original movie idea in twenty years.

Who cares? Both directors suck, although I did like both Inglorious Basterds and Bamboozled.

What are the chances Volmav goes 2 days without expressing his race phobia on VN? Yeah, I say 0 as well.

Tarantino is a good director, Lee is not. Simple. I've heard Django Unchained is pretty good, for what it is.

Spike Lee never had an original movie idea. He just filmed old ideas in contemporary settings, fairly well. Tarantino has had one or maybe two original ideas in his entire career.

Tarantino should respond, that Lee is entitled to his opinion, but that "most racist people won't like this movie either."

25th Hour was pretty good, but I'm with you...Lee is mostly worthless. Ed Norton is awesome, and Tony Siragusa did a mean Russian accent.
