Feb 16,2020 7:22 am

filmmaker Spike Lee has said, the people in the USA are evil, because they "don't live Every Day in This World , where The System is Set Up For You to win".

The Oscar-winner said the reasons for the current unrest included the deaths of Black People such as George Floyd, but also in the wider injustices and inequalities.

"It's not like you're Just Born angry," he told Bbc Arts editor Will Gompertz .

Lee also said President Trump showed the response That "he's a gangster, he wants to be a dictator".

Mr Trump to the growing unrest press in the United States .

On Monday, The President went from the White house to a nearby fire to the damaged Church, with a Bible, after protesters had been acquitted of his way.

Lee, whose new Netflix movie 5 Bloods, a group of African-American war follows, said: "I was watching this Last Night with My Family and we were all crying, in disbelief That this thing was staged.

"This show of Force - gasification, beat innocent, peaceful viewers, so you could clear the road, so you could take a walk around The Church . It was just ridiculous. "

He added: "in The Bible do not see, in his hand, and he didn't look exactly comfortable in the Hand The Bible . I still have a leader, never something like That before in My Life , especially with a world market. "

In his speech before the feet of The Church , Mr Trump said: "I Am the Chairman of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters. "

Many of the U.S. cities to demonstrations and unrest since the death of the 46-year-old Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 may, in the case of a white Police Officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

On Sunday, the footage of Mr Floyd and Eric Garner combine, who was killed during his arrest in the year 2014, with a scene from his 1989 film " Do The Right Thing, in which the character Radio Raheem was murdered.

A state Grand Jury declined to press criminal charges against The Officer in Mr. Garner's involved death.

"Why are people evil?" Lee said on Tuesday. "People are angry because Black People are being killed, left and right, the police walked away free.

"The Black and brown people are angry at the gap between the haves and have-nots - Education , drinking Dirty Water , racism.

"the people are angry for a reason. It's not like you're Just Born angry. You're angry because you live Every Day in a world where The System is not Set Up to win For You .

"The Life Expectancy ... There are so many things That you could make a list of [you] Forever - That 's where The Anger .

"It's a stupid analogy, but if you leave the pot on The Stove , the water boils. "

Social inequalities is particularly evident, while the Corona-Virus-pandemic, He Said , with people from minorities are more likely to die after Contracting the disease.

"is It The Black and brown people who had to work, front-Liner, go for all the aspects That you considered this [the country]," He Said .

And racism is not only for the United States , he added.

"racism is everywhere in The World . This Was a worldwide pandemic, before the corona.

"I Am a very spiritual person, and I don't think it's a coincidence That these two things happen at the same time. "

America's" shaky foundations'

He pursued the inequality in the United States on the country's Foundation.

"The Land was stolen from the indigenous people, the genocide was committed against the indigenous people and the ancestors were brought to stolen from Africa to work here," He Said .

"is the cornerstone of the United States of America is genocide, stealing land and slavery.

"Any architect Will Tell you That , if you don't have a strong Foundation, The Building is shaky, and wobbly from Day One . This Original Sin has not been dealt with since The Birth of This Country . "
