Sensationalist TRASH from you. Just because there are problems in the world does not mean we have to overlook the cism and filth in this QT film. Wrapped up? Sensationalist Trash. Im really surprised at you friend. Dont start bringing up statistics to drown out some brief outrage from the black community. Its sickening. You just bootleg this trash film and dont give a dime to this demonic entity known as quentin tarantino. How i look supporting trash where i get to hear the n-word a million times and get to see a black woman raped by some bigot multiple times. House negroes and brother getting whipped and beat. Thats entertainment where you come from i guess and i can see how your sensibilities would find that entertaining but also, you need to understand how it effects others, friend.
QUestion:If a black person says the n-word does it not conjure the same subtle shyt, particularly when it's used as abundantly as it is today, again considering nothing is done in a vacuum?

i agree.I've used the word as jokes with some of my homies but there was one dude who attacked me saying that since I'm not a USA slave descendant (my lineage is Haitian) I shouldn't dare use it.
Peeps need to stop having thin skin and they spend too much time trying to put embargoes on words.
IMO blacks shouldn't even use it either, even if you b*stardize the word ("er" to "ga" ) or use it in a friendly context this was a word invented to put down blacks, and now blacks want to claim the word and nobody else can use it? Even going as far to dissect which kind of blacks can use it?
The idea is just hypocritical and racist to me.
you saw the movie, friend?
A lot of people in this thread are just saying..."chill, its just a movie" - and this is the problem. Nothing exists in a vacuum. This movie is just one in the many in a pattern which subtly shyts on black people. It doesnt have to be overtly racist, but certain themes and images which play out on screen are very insensitive - and it hits you on a subconscious level. Images are powerful. Just because you cant see it, doesnt mean its not there. The white savior is NOTHING new. From Different Strokes, to Monster's Ball, to Dangerous Minds, Bringing Down the House, The Help. This is how they see us fam.
Oh but this just entertainment right? So was Birth of A Nation...
Exactly. nikkas are so myopic its astonishing. QT has a right to make whatever the fukk he wants, but how dare you fukkers get mad at folk for being offended at the campy approach to such a serious topic. I wonder if there a movie involving a bunch of jews in an internment camp that get freed from the clutches of death by witty and hialrious German protagonist?
shyt would get killed in the boardroom with the quickness. However another cheap blaxploitation film about slaves gets greenlighted.
Hollywood is a dangerous filthy place.
