Spike Lee appeared at the The Late Show Tuesday night were he sat down with Stephen Colbert and talked about his new movie CHI-RAQ.
In the movie, a women in Chicago force a ceasefire among gang members by going on a sex strike until their men stop shooting each other and director said he believes it could happen in real life.
Referring to the protests at the University of Missouri that led to the resignation of Mizzou president Timothy Wolfe, Lee said that what's happening on college campuses today, where the football players got together and said unless the president resigns, they weren't going to play, he thinks a sex strike could really work on college campuses where there?s an abundance of sexual harassment and date rapes.
He than predicted that it?s going to happen in the second semester, once people come back from Christmas, there are going to be sex strikes at universities and colleges across this country.
When Colbert asked about how he thinks gun violence in Chicago can be curbed, Lee was hesitant to come down too strongly against the right to bear arms.
The director explained he hopes people will come out of the film and understand we have to have a real discussion about guns in this country.
He added, ?I?m not talking about taking away anybody?s Second Amendment rights, but there are certain things we can do: Tougher background checks, we can title guns like cars.?
