Spike Lee attended the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco, California, and he made sure to send a message to everyone, including President Donald Trump.
Less than a month into his presidency, Trump has signed a bunch of executive orders.
Spike would love for him to sign another one that would greatly benefit Black Americans.
The prominent film director and die-hard New York Knicks fan wore a black jacket with huge words that said: “WE WANT OUR 40 ACRES AND A MULE.”
The jacket included “YES REPARATIONS” and “NO SUBTERFUGE” on the bottom.
The term is a reference to a promise made to former Black slaves that was revoked after the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, according to NPR.
Union General William Tecumseh Sherman made the promise in 1865, and it was meant to provide the former slaves with land and resources.
Clearly, Spike Lee wants Donald Trump to bring this action back to distribute wealth in the United States better.
Spike Lee Spoke On Kendrick Lamar Saying ’40 Acres and a Mule’ Line at the 2025 Super Bowl

While Kendrick Lamar was at the Super Bowl performing some of his major hits, there was one point when he said, : “it’s a cultural divide, I’m a get it on the floor. 40 acres and a mule, this is bigger than the music. They tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.”
Many people were confused by it, but not Spike Lee.
He offered some insight into the historical reference he made.
“I Want To Thank My Brother Kendrick For The 40 Acres And A Mule Shoutout Which Has Been The Name Of My Production Company Since NYU Grad Film School,” Lee wrote alongside a clip of the performance.
“And I Want To Send A Special Shoutout To My Morehouse Brother Samuel Jackson Who Started This Super Bowl Halftime Extravaganza As Uncle Sam And You Might’ve Seen Him As Dolmedes In CHI-RAQ,” he continued, before explaining the term “40 acres and a mule.”
“The Term 40 Acres And A Mule Was A Proposal For Reparations To Former Enslaved African-Americans In The Aftermath Of The Civil War,” Lee wrote. “The Proposal Was Intended To Provide Land And Resources To Provide Land And Resources To Help Free People Achieve Economic Independence. This Promise Was Ultimately Broken. HAPPY BLACK HIS-HERSTORY ✊🏾💜✊🏾💜✊🏾💜✊🏾💜✊🏾💜✊🏾”

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.
GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.
GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.
Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.
For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.
As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.
A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”
“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.
“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.
“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.
One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”
Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game
After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.
Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.
With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.
Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.
