Martin Scorsese is a racist. Why do we put up with it?

How does that prove he's not a racist? He's got to work, maybe he chose to the material over his personal feelings because he loves the work.

I don't think you have the mental compacity to discuss this topic. I'm done with you.

I still don't see it.

I am waiting for you to provide me with proof of Scorsese going out, and basing another film's racial background or racial casting in order to draw attention to a Scorsese film. I'm waiting for you to provide proof of an actor telling Scorsese that he went overboard with his racial writing of a character. I'm waiting for you to provide proof that Scorsese purposefully filmed a movie in the hopes to cause a racial stir or debate in order to promote his next film..........

While I doubt you will find proof of Scorsese ever stooping to these lows, Spike Lee has done it REPEATEDLY.
Spike Lee has a more solid case of being classified as a racist than Scorsese does.

LOL, have you seen Rising Sun with Connery and Snipes? That reminds me of a scene in that movie.

No I never did see that... It sounds like early 90's late 80's... Is it worth seeing or just notable because it deals with race?

At the offices of a Japanese corporation, during a party, a woman, who's evidently a professional mistress, is found dead, apparently after some rough sex. A police detective, (Snipes) is called in to investigate but before getting there, he gets a call from someone who instructs him to pick up a former police Captain and expert on Japanese affairs (Connery). When they arrive there Web thinks that everything is obvious but Connor tells him that there's a lot more going on

One of the scenes is Wesley Snipes going on about how they can't call him a racist because he's black. Within seconds, the radio comes across that a complaint is filed against Snipes for being racist by a Japanese person. It's better than you think it would be, and actually it handles both White/Black as well as East/West conflicts through the whole movie, including how Japanese business and Yakuza differ in their approach to problems.
