I love the fact that Ash does not get bulldozed or "overly charmed" by Spike even though he tries it a few times...she totally holds her own in this conversation..love it.I love the fact she doesn't laugh easily at all his jokes...I know men find that quite challenging when women don't automatically laugh at their "jokes".She is such a bad ass and her mother is even more ballsy!! wow.Shes my role model and I'm older than her.
What a brilliant interview. Well done Ash and well done Novara!
I'm pretty sure Obama bombing Syria and Libya didn't help the climate Spike.
crawford p4p
Obama made bad decisions but those decisions were facilitated by the corrupt organisation that exists and has existed in the white house from the beginning. To think one man made those decisions is ridiculous. I do agree Obama wasnt a saint though.
howtobeabeast if he didn’t bring to light what you’re talking About then he’s a traitor. An Uncle Tom if you will.
@Thurgood Marshall Nah his resume sucks.
@@Howtobeabeast so Trump isn't bad
Ash is a brilliant journalist
I mean.. are u joking?
Would love to see her GB'ed by ⚪️
Great interview.👍💯
This must be the best interview of Spike Lee.
Yo people gonna start letting my boo speak without being interrupted or people gonna start getting hurt
12:20 THANK GOD ... heard Ash’s question from start to finish 😉.
Ash you are literally a walking goddess. Incredibly beautiful.
She's stunning, and smart as a whip.
I agree,she's gorgeous and clearly very intelligent
She is my goddess
Major props on the interview Ash! Im one of thise black people that didnt like the portrayal of police in the film. I think Sorry to Bother You was much stronger in that aspect.
Cuz Boots is a Marxist, Spike's obviously not. Sorry was the film of the year in 2018, as was Get Out the year before.
I will have to agree with goober
THIERRY HENRY!!! MY MAN.also great interview Ash.
Spike has a great personality!
Good interview. Good interviewer
So great!
Many successful creative people are politically inept when it comes to class conscience and understanding the economical roots for many of the problems in society today and historically. This comes from a position of not being involved in a political struggle and thus becoming politically active as a consequence and having a better understanding of working class divisions from the top i.e. Racism.
Spike Lee is however from a different cloth, a successful Black director who has history in the struggle but has to juggle with class loyalty and tackling racism as a black man in the United States.
Although class struggle is the uniting factor to get rid of racism in society, being Black in America in spite of class you face racism, police brutality, "black thug" characterisation by the media, etc. And it's is this what makes the likes of him ignore Obama's Neoliberal agenda, foreign policy and false hope which left black and brown people in the US and abroad a lot worse or dead by his drones.

👍👍👍👍👍👍
There’s an extra K after Black in the title of the video. It’s supposed to be “BlacKkKlansman”
"expectation can be a motherfucker" - words to live by
I love spike but I do disagree with some stuff he said, also he interrupted ash a lot which was kinda rude but great interview anyway 👍🏼
Old people do tend to talk over people lol
That was so funny at the end hahaha
fuck me Novara are moving up in the world, great interview!
I went into this wanting it to be really good (and excited to hear what he had to say), but in the end Lee talked over or cut off more interesting points from Ash than he made himself. It feels weird to say that the interview would probably have been better if Ash's questions had been pre-recorded and then his responses to them had been recorded separately, so he couldn't just start talking before she'd finished her thought.
someone make 1:15 a gif right frikkin now
god what a difficult interview poor Ash
Interesting interview, I liked the “give me an honest to goodness racist any day” bit 😂. And the I love Michael Jordan I can’t be racist bit 😂...at the end of the day human beings find it easiest to function as statistical machines, imperfect statistical machines albeit(don’t judge my statement in an absolutist way please), and what we value is excellence/competence/ability...we will do the stats and then generalise. We notice what you have a gift for, we notice people who look like you who share that gift/ability and if it happens often enough we generalise it to a group. Identity politics and racism are two sides of the same coin and are a retrogressive step. The ability to judge people individually without the “taint” of “group” is the hardest thing to do. All the alt right /left/xgenderx combat is such a sad indictment of us as humans. You can’t generalise vice or virtue to a group...it doesn’t work. Ash is not a communist, she is just having a hard time figuring out the best way for the world to work, Spike carries a psychological burden that weighs heavily on a lot of African Americans, the burden of oppression and unfulfilled potential...and the need to justify the latter. No one cares about the -isms at the end of the day. People just want a degree of predictability to their lives..even Ash refers to that in how the movie in question sort of surprised her. Everyone go have a think then have a talk....and try not to get angry.
💞Excellent job Ash... Enjoyed!!!👍🏽
Great interview. I have to move and do things. I wanted to sit down for longer after watching to appreciate it. But shit ol life I guess. Cheers anyway. Thanks :)
Ash was in awe and rightly so. The first time I ever seen Ash lost for words!
SPIKE LEE = iconic, well done Ash
Spicy af.
wow this is so lit, thank u 💕
Great insightful review!
Great guy that he might have been, but couldn’t change much during his presidency.
Seems like he had had a few henneseys
"Expectation can be a Motherfucker! "
Interesting interview and kudos to Ash for raising the issue of how the police were represented. Completely despicable pro-cop propaganda if you ask me, especially as it has recently emerged that Lee received $200,000 in consultancy fees from the NYPD about how best to market themselves to African-American communities to improve relations (I wonder whether this entirely 'cops are the heroes that fight racism' film was influenced consciously or consciously by that money?).
The 'truth' of the story is also something that Lee defends but is actually incorrect (this was summarised amazingly by fellow African-American filmmaker Boots Riley on twitter). After this case involving the KKK came to an end, the African-American cop 'Ron Stallworth' then went on to further infiltrate the Black Panthers, helping the concerted effort by the American state to bring it down from the inside. This man was no friend to Black Liberation. Also maybe more ridiculously (and it's something Lee alludes to as the 'happy ending' briefly in this interview) *SPOILERS ALERT* all of the cops in the film help to catch-in-the-act-of-confession a racist cop who brags about killing an unarmed black man. This never happened in real life. The inclusion of this in the film is 1) there to exist as a narrative cadence, diving the 'bad' from the 'good' and making sure all those in the film get their just deserts. But it also has the purpose of (which Ash alludes to) 2) Making the police seem like the heroes in the fight against racism. Anyone with any sort of awareness of recent history knows that this is patently not true. To include that in a film is to concede a massive amount of ground to those racist institutions who are happy to point the finger at the brazenly racist KKK but not apply that same analysis to themselves to weed out institutional implicit racism (which is probably more pernicious). Lee let them off the hook in this film and that's not really acceptable when you claim you're trying to leverage anti-racist messages in the Trump age.
I'd urge everyone to check out Boots Rilley's comments on this film for a more in-depth discussion of these issues. Lee's made a dud here and it's important we don't just believe the 'true story' moniker the marketing for this film is bandying around. NB: this came out after Novara filmed this interview so no bad beef with them as most people just took the 'true story' claim as gospel.
Alex Keegan if you want an actual representation of events watch Doctor David Dukes interview with JF Gariepy. Lee is a Jew funded anti-white golem.
@@Notorious46 I wanna be an anti-white golem, sounds badass
A Wonderful English interview
Ash is so good. She is definitely going places.
Ash is plain beautiful,great interview. It would be nice if Spike would just settle down,and let Ash do her thing.
CONGRATS ASH!!!!!!! FUCKING YES!
Oh my God, Ash, you're brilliant
Amazing interview. Great questioning - Spike is a genius.
Spike Lee is a Gooner.
Ash is a great interviewer, if this is the future of the Labour Party, I'm all in. As for Spike, top top geezer, lovely guy, straight talking and a fantastic filmmaker.
She's not labour
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...
(I'm not an expert) I've just been doing a bit of research into the relation of Glutamate and trauma. I was promoted to do this by a bad video I watched about transgender people and "gender-trenders" - in this video they connected schizophrenia with issues concerning gender identity, while also trying to stress that this was not the same as having gender dysphoria.
I had also previously seen a connection between glutamate receptors in major depressive disorder in women in particular - where the was an overabundance of receptors (requiring more glutamate than normal to trigger a response). As well as a connection between glutamate receptors and schizophrenia - where there was a lack a receptors (meaning less glutamate than normal was needed to trigger a response). The number of receptors in the brain can reduce through over stimulation or increase from under stimulation. While also looking at how trauma can lead to depression psychosis and then schizophrenia through the over stimulation of dopamine pathways as a result of stress - and I am wondering whether abrupt changes can effect brain receptors?
Too much Glutamate release (causing more neuro-excitement) during a stressful event can destroy the cells they are activating - they get worked to death. Reduction in brain volume is a symptom of schizophrenia.
From what I understand. GABA converts to Glutamate and vice versa. GABA reduces neuro-excitability. Whereas Glutamete increases neuro-excitabilty. GABA also inhibits dopamine. Estrogen inhibits GABA. Prolactin (from stress) inhibits dopamine. A lack of dopamine causes non-psychosis depression (symptoms including a lack of will to get out of bed). Whereas too much dopamine causes psychosis depression (symptoms including thoughts running away with themselves - such as excessive worry and anxiety).
Where this video I watched on the transgender issue was bad is that they seemed to have very little appreciation for what schizophrenia is and the symptoms associated with it - someone like Ash Hardell, criticised as being a "gender-trender" in the bad video I watched, who has had significant trouble with their gender identity, doesn't seem to me (in my unqualified opinion) to be someone with schizophrenia. But I was already aware that dysfunction of the ventro medial prefrontal cortex (vmpfc) in our brains is related to problems when trying to categorize a person's gender. And that reduced vmpfc activity was associated with reduced sensations of pain and symptoms of depression (labotomies previously done to "treat" depression literally would cut out the vmpfc).
It seems that in both schizophrenia and depression that there is some form of either reduced neural connectivity or neural activity regarding pathways in the brain linking the vmpfc to the hippocampus (memory) and amygdala (emotions) and temporal lobe (visual memory and language comprehension). So there could be a connection with either over or under stimulation creating a dysfunctional balance between neurotransmitter output and neurotransmitter receptors?
Also. Often associated with an increase in dopamine is are glucocorticoid hormones released by the adrenal glands of the kidneys, which trigger an increase in blood glucose levels, during the flight or flight response (and is associated with an icreased risk of developing diabetes).
From wikipedia of the role of glutamate and glucocortoid hormones in the functioning of the hippocampus - so under or over stimulation of the hippocampus (memories) could be vitally important in schizophrenia and depression in relation to trauma?: -
The form of neural plasticity known as long-term potentiation (LTP) was first discovered to occur in the hippocampus and has often been studied in this structure. LTP is widely believed to be one of the main neural mechanisms by which memories are stored in the brain.The best-studied form of LTP has been seen in CA1 of the hippocampus and occurs at synapses that terminate on dendritic spines and use the neurotransmitter glutamate.
The hippocampus contains high levels of glucocorticoid receptors, which make it more vulnerable to long-term stress than most other brain areas. There is evidence that humans having experienced severe, long-lasting traumatic stress show atrophy of the hippocampus more than of other parts of the brain. These effects show up in post-traumatic stress disorder, and they may contribute to the hippocampal atrophy reported in schizophrenia and severe depression. A recent study has also revealed atrophy as a result of depression, but this can be stopped with anti-depressants even if they are not effective in relieving other symptoms.
What an absolute legend. And interviewing Spike Lee no less
With all due respect, "Agent Orange" is prejudis of orange skinned people. Not a good look.

It's amazing how many people are upset about the portrayal of cops in the film. It's like they are completely oblivious to the history of this country, particularly, during that period and of small town departments, not to mention big city cops. I mean we are talking about a period not far removed from police participating in the lynching of blacks, jews and violence against whites who sought to help blacks in their quest to have their human rights not merely civil rights recignized. That is not to say all cops are racists because they are not and the movie clearly portrays that (white cops help Ron on his assignment). But there are plenty of assholes on the force who are indeed racists and should be called out as such just like a cop whose a drug dealer, a theif, a rapist, etc. And you know i will even give racist sympathizers the benefit of a doubt and allow a racist to think whatever they want but when an officer has multiple complaints of improper conduct and questionable attitudes from the community they serve, then that officer needs to be analysed, advised and reprimanded or dismissed if they can't muster what it takes to aid a community. The most important tool in a cops arsenal is not his gun ir badge but his mind. And he/she must respect their own uniform and the values they are sworn to uphold if they want to gain the respect of the community. It was a great film. Many just have trouble swallowing the facts
Completely butchered one of the greatest revenge stories of all time
Would love two hear these two take on all racist Jo Biden has done and said, bet these two would say o he not mean it like that. Also listening to this, it sounds like two these think all white are the same and racist which seem very racist
Ash = wifey goals
@@jackriver1999 yeah... but ideally marriage
considering how much white men hate her, i find these comments strange
white men love chinese women though

should be cyril ash sneer meets spike lee
Spike lee is kind of annoying actually.
“Ask spike lee who he supports”
What a twonk.
Really terrible film and I like it even less now I've seen how unwilling he is to listen to what Ash has to say- doesn't even let her finish a question
I'm with you Ash but Thierry Henri? As an Irish person I can never get behind that.
Only just seen and realised this existed. Yay. Love Ash - hate to objectify but have a major crush on her. And smart as a whip - amazing combination. Great interview to boot.
ash is brilliant :) spike's ok too.. hehe
Spike is a Gooner x
Ash lets have a debate lool i will do u
Go on Ash lass
most white women i know hate her...i think its her race that they are so bothered by hahahaha
Bourgeois
It's not "immigrants" in general that are the concern. It's mass migration. Spike can just brush it off because he's not going to have to deal with any of the effects in his gated community. White and black etc. working class people will though. And there are studies that show that the more low/unskilled migrants come into the UK the more the wages for those jobs get pushed down, which has a huge impact on the poorest people, people of all races. In fact the people that are most likely to be impacted are other immigrants that have come here through the right procedures. And that's not even getting into the huge culture clashes.
Read Douglas Murray's The Strange Death of Europe. It's not racist to be concerned about this, it's crazy not to be.
Funny to the core, this Ash Sarkar of Asian origin interviewing a Black guy on White racism, does she even know Black people where racist to Asian's. We got kicked out of Africa, Asians born and bred in Africa were kicked out by Black people on race. This girl absolutely does not have a clue - abhorred. Will she ask the black guy what 'Eid Amin' did to Asian's in Africa. Holocaust of 3 million Asian's in Africa. England gave us Asylum - White people.
