VIDEO : How Boots Riley And Spike Lee ?Squashed? Their Rivalry Over ?BlacKkKlansman?

Spike Lee?s latest movie may earn him some impressive hardware at the Academy Awards on Sunday, but not everyone is convinced BlacKkKlansman is a winner. Boots Riley, director of the already underrated Sorry To Bother You, sparked a beef with Spike Lee when he pened an essay criticizing BlackKklansman for its positive representation of the police in a movie where an African American officer infiltrates and takes down a Colorado chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. Riley called the film a ?made-up story? which tries to ?make a cop the protagonist in the fight against racist oppression.?
