QT's hood pass is hanging by a thread.
I have tried to play off the feeling I get from Pulp Fiction when they use the word "******" for most of my time on Earth with the movie, but lately I wince and I think I have decided to put Pulp Fiction on the same shelf with Seinfeld for now:
I doubt these works of art are directly out to hurt Black people, but I know for certain that someone VERY insensitive to Black people had a major hand in the work and the people who worked with the insensitive someone knew damn well where they stood and just
and kept their heads down. Louis CK gives me this same feeling. It's not that they hate blacks, just more of a "And? So what?" vibe. That's fine, I don't need them to sympathize with me, and I hope they don't need me to be a fan. We can mutually not give a f*** about one another.
IB didn't sit well with me and I can tell this movie is more of the same pandering. QT seems to like to be able to wade knee deep in race issues without getting his hands dirty. It's the guy at your job who's best friend is black and who grew up in "the city" but EVERY SINGLE convo he has to point out some political or historical fact about Black people. If it involves you - assuming you're black - then it has to prove/disprove some stereotype. This guy is the definition of the word "racist". It's what crosses his mind each and every time his eyes fall on a "minority" (which is funny seeing as how the birth rates officially tipped in favor of "minorities"). He might not HATE other races but he clearly is fixated on them.
I have that feeling about QT. He prolly consoles himself by hanging out with RZA from time to time, but all he can see is a divide between the groups. He thinks he's doing a Jew a favor by "killing" Hitler, but why is QT sitting around all day dwelling on Nazis and Slaves anyway? A perfect excuse to bring out your swastikas and your n words to me.
