It's complex, all right, but I think I see what you mean. There are certain issues that are just too thorny to tackle properly for most people, black or white, because there is just no WAY you are going to get them right unless you have extensive personal knowledge of the subject. Not even then, really - I mean, Spike Lee DOES have extensive personal knowledge of his subject matter (I presume, anyway), and his films often come across as a bit too ham-handed for my taste (although I'm far from an expert on him - I've watched a couple of his films, is all).
