This is the whole reason NOTHING IS SOLVING THE BLACK VIOLENCE... Everybody wants to bury it and hide it instead of ADDRESSING IT....
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday he had an “honest, frank conversation” with Spike Lee to let the movie director know that he doesn’t like, “Chiraq,” the working title of Lee’s coming movie on black-on-black violence based in Chicago’s crime-ridden Englewood community.
Emanuel didn’t say whether he asked Lee to change the name, as South Side Ald. Anthony Beale (9th), former chairman of the City Council’s Police Committee, did last week. Nor did the mayor say whether Lee was open to a title change.
But the mayor made it clear that he had used the Hollywood pipeline provided by his brother, super-agent Ari Emanuel, to make his feelings known directly to Spike Lee. The face-to-face meeting took place in the mayor’s office prior to Wednesday’s City Council meeting.
