A lot of people took to social media to express their displeasure with the humor aspect of Spike Lee’s upcoming film “Chi-Raq” which is mainly because that name has never meant something positive and it is a horrible thing to be proud to call your city that. The way the trailer was shot made people believe that Spike was making a comedy about the gun violence in Chicago which lead to him having to publicly defend his own film. In a video response to all of the backlash Spike Lee had this to say “There’s a difference between humor and comedy, In no way, shape, or form are we not respectful of the situation that is happening in Chi-Raq. In no way, shape, or form are we making light of the lives that have been murdered with this senseless violence. So, people, don’t get it twisted.”
