Rent this movie to see the brilliance of Lee that is - sadly - the total dichotomy of Lee the Circus Freak (upper case C and F for emphasis) that he is showing in this pissing match with Eastwood.

Just like the dichotomy of Woody Allen sleeping with his own child

the black soldiers at iwo jima would disagree with you:
Not only did black soldiers fight at Iwo Jima, mostly in amphibious units, but 14 black soldiers (DUKW drivers) were awarded silver stars for their actions at Iwo Jima (some were awarded posthumously). Their amphibious units were attached to Marine units.
The army commissioned a study called "The Exclusion of Black Soldiers from the Medal of Honor in World War II", published by MacFarland in 1997, which documents as a case example the actions of one of these black DUKW drivers at Iwo Jima which earned him the silver star.
As an aside, the results of this study led President Clinton to award seven Medals of Honor to unrecognized black veterans of WWII in 1997.

And to think not a one of those assigned as drivers among the amphibious units was depicted sailing and driving among ground units and raising flags ? What have we come to ???

Spike Lee will never be happy until every movie role is played by an African American.

NO! I think we should continue to be satisfied with having only one black male and female at a time play in movies.
