According to Katt Williams, in the movie Django Unchained...

[prophecypro]

This is why Spike Lee had beef with Tarantino back in the 90's, cause of his liberal usage of the word nikka in flicks like Jackie Brown. Yeah he writing it for black characters and cause he love blackxplotation flicks, but Spike felt like he was a little too loose with it.

Honestly WTF is wrong with Tarantino ?

 

[courtdog]

Nah, I'm not saying QT understands what it is to be black. I'm saying he's very empathetic toward the black community and is probably one of the least racist people in the country, much less Hollywood. I just don't understand how somebody who goes out of his way to write a role for a middle-aged Pam Grier, has dated black women, etc. is considered racist because some of his white characters use the word n*gger. QT isn't politically correct, yes (hence his characters' spirited use of the n-word). But he's not a racist.

Now how do you come to your conclusions? He dated a black bytch so he's not racist? I''m not racist, but if I was? p*ssy my friend has no color (except pink maybe)
And when it comes to being a racist, there are levels to the shyt.
Nobody is saying QT is an honorary clan member. Just that he gets a little too reckless with it. Too the point that he is questionable at BEST. Writting a part for Pam Grier doesn't erase what he felt was needed dialogue when it really was just overkill. The scene wasn't better for it, unless you a white person I guess. I see it now. Yall was lilke when you seen it while black ppl was like

What I would like you to begin understanding is on The-coli.com ppl loosely thru around the term "cracka" and I'm sure you can't like it that much. Yeah, you ignore it the same way we have to ignore "Dead ****** Storage" while I sit with my mother watching Pulp Fiction. Like, do you see how its a bigger deal when its out in the real world as compared to the internet. Its easy for somebody who is not dealing with that type of struggle to overlook it tho...

Not defending this movie. Just asking the question. Slavery happened. Why is it taboo to make movies about it? like seriously? Should Roots have not been made?

The guy who enters the thread to complain about something nobody is even talking about. Where have you been. Cuz nobody is talking about what your yappin about. Thanks for trying tho

at this rate, he gonna beat DMX

At this rate, them boyz gonna kill his ass. This was prophecy

Denzel nearly knocked him out for that shyt, which I have to to

...I'm black, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

And Denzel apologized later, because he realized that QT isn't racist himself. He and Spike were conflating QT's characters with QT himself. Why haven't I heard Spike or Denzel call Scorsese a racist? His character's rant in the taxi with DeNiro in Taxi Driver is more shocking than any QT line, talking about shooting his wife's p*ssy with a .44 magnum (because she's cheating with some "n*gger"). Or think about Sam Jackson's undignified role in Goodfellas, getting his head blown off and that's about it. Or Anthony Anderson being an irrelevant joke of a character in The Departed. (I like Scorsese by the way.) It all boils down to some 90s uncomfortability with a white person dealing so freely with race and that n-word hot potato. Spike is a great filmmaker, but he's much more racist than Tarantino if we go by actual real-life behavior, often frowning and acting needlessly condescending to white people in interviews.

Spike addressed this and the difference between the Taxi Driver monologue and Tarantino. He basically had two reasons why he was ok with it, but not Tarantino: because he knew Scorsese (was taught by him at NYU) and they had a good relationship, and because he thinks that's how people where Scorsese grew up talked.

I don't think these are good reasons if he's making the case that Tarantino is racist for "dead n1gger storage"

 

[GulfCoastGhost]

The n-word being said 100+ times sounds excessive. Any other movie made about slavery use the n-word half as much? I plan on checking the film out when it drops

You do realize its said more than that in your average hip hop album
And was probably said 10,000 more times than that during that time period????

Stop being sensitive

FWIW, Scorcese didn't write Taxi Driver. Paul Schrader did.

So it's only cool for white people to write racist characters if Spike Lee KNEW THEM?

Isnt it obvious that hes demonic, friend.

Stop being sensitive

Stop trying to tell people how to feel. If people dont like it they dont like it.

Unless you know QT personally you dont know what the fukk your talking about. Just because you've seen QT around some black people doesn't absolve him from being a racist.

 

[MouseTeeth]

I read the script hes lyin

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

well your fav godbody cream of the universe RZA cosigns QT etc!!

 

[5n0man]

You nikkas and your fake ass outrage,

Maybe we should let Tyler perry (whoms movies i find alot more racist than the word ******) handle theses movies with a mostly black cast

QT is one of the only white directors to write real non stereotypical roles for Afro American actors.
