Spike Lee insists recent criticism of presidential hopeful Barack Obama will not affect his race for the White House.
Outspoken civil rights campaigner Reverend Jesse Jackson was forced to apologise to Obama on Wednesday after he was overheard saying the politician was talking "down" to the black community.
And despite the criticism, Lee believes Obama will succeed at bringing "seismic" change to the world.
He says: "I don't think his (Jackson's) comments help anybody. It's just unfortunate.
"When (Obama is elected) happens, it will change everything. ... You'll have to measure time by 'Before Obama' and 'After Obama'.
"It's an exciting time to be alive now. Everything's going to be affected by this seismic change in the universe."
What more proof do we need? No more controversy over BC/AD and CE/BCE ... in 2009 it will be BO and AO when the Messiah takes his throne...
If YOUR people had been enslaved by a country.... Then your people were discriminated against by that country.... Then one of your own is about to RUN that country... I'd say that's seismic. I'd also measure it as before and after...
What's your point?

Hold on there pardner, now that we're playing identity politics, isn't Obama half white?
I wonder where the geneology on the white side of the family would lead?
