#1 That is the second most racist thing I have heard.

#2 I see a rapidly diminishing demographic that amounts to only 13% now. 13% with some very serious problems like AIDS, crack, abortions, illiteracy.
The city is covered in brown all right, but that's not chocolate!

#3 Is there a single functioning 'choclate city' in the country?

#4 Having lived in D.C. from 1982 - 2000 I've seen how well "chocolate cities" work...Marion Barry, Anthony Williams, et al. Spike Lee is a no talent, one dimensional racist who will be a perfect fit for that particular "chocolate city".

#5 Compare and contrast hwo racist and narrowminded Spike Lee is, versus Reagan's Shining City on a Hill.

#6 Good. Now he can make the sequel to "Get on the Bus", "Get out from Under the Bus".

Or make another crappy -reality- based movie about bo: call it Bamboozled Too and star MC Serch; my guess is he is available.

His movies are really not so much good but just in your face stereotypes with good pr hype, especially that crappy ass GOTB.

Love Dr. Funkenstein's music but with his hard drug possesion and tax evasion perhaps the Atomic Dog is not one to go quote and then want to be taken seriously.

#9 I've a girlfriend who is the quality control engineer in one of their factories. She always brings a care package when she comes for her annual visit. For a few brief, shining days my house will be the sweetest place on earth. :-D

#10 Concur w/bigjim-ky. A demographic that's less than 13% of the country. Hispanics are bigger now by about a half percent. Just got back from DC visiting my brother and quantico on businees. My brother won't even go south of the Navy Yard on the metro as the crime is too high - the benefits of a chocolate city I guess.
