“This country was founded on violence,” Lee told TheWrap. “Africans were brought here, to this land, and then the genocide of Native Americans, that's the foundation upon which this country was built. It's simple, not taught in schools. We're taught some other stuff, and particularly, how we're taught is through the media. And as African Americans, we were taught how barbaric Africa was, with the Tarzan movies and whatnot, and the savages of the Native Americans in the many, many John Ford, John Wayne films.”
Lee also thinks it's only getting worse.
“And the NRA is responsible for it,” he said. “These video games are not helping either.”
