He really doesn't use other deragtory terms for women, or jews as much as he does for blacks. I've seen all of his movies with the exception of Inglorious b*stards. I realize black people say the word, which I don't condone. As such, it would make sense for black people to say the word occassionaly if it fits the character. But Tarratino has characters saying profusely. My point is that theres a double standard, we all know if he used deragtory terms for Jews, who finance his movies, and distribute them, the Weinstein Company; they would have a holy shi* fit. I don't know if you remember this, but go do a websearch on the controversy of the Michael Jackson song They Don't Care About Us.

i can see your point, i still think its asinine to be upset at it in a movie set in slavery times...or to even insinuate that the film was made specifically for QT to flex his nikka counter. :rudy:

And like i said we got to see a black man whip a slave driver, we got to see a black man save his wife from bondage, we got to see a black man swag on slave owners left and right...HOW is this bad?

I still think the film was amazing and VERY entertaining...again the word doesn't offend me as much as people using it to get a rise out of others. A white person walking up to another white person and saying "whats good my nikka" doesn't bother me in one bit.

:what:

No one gives two shhs about Tarantino using the N-word. He's been using it and it's not going to stop. That cat has been out the bag. The problem with Django unchained is slavery being made into a joke and comedy. There is nothing "great" or "new" about the formula used. White man effectively ran the show and orchestrated Django's "revenge"

People defending this movie and Tarantino are the same white liberals in blackface who would call for a boycott if Spike had made it(even before seeing it). Again BET is considered ghetto, uncouth and silly, yet black Americans keep the ratchet shows on VH1 afloat.

Why Does BET Get The Scrutiny While VH1 Gets A Pass? | Madame Noire | Black Women's Lifestyle Guide | Black Hair | Black Love

It's simple. The white man's ice is colder. That's my problem with Django Unchained. Black people are calling for Spike and others to make these movies but it would be shelved quick.Tarantino having the audacity to diss Roots? :wtf:


If you think that Django unchained made Slavery Funny and a Joke... you should kill yourself now... Miss me with that white savior shyt too.

did you feel that way when Dave Chappelle did the sketch about roots and the player haters going back in time to shoot a slave owner?


considering all the unrealistic shyt in the movie, and you really thought there was going to be an accurate depiction of pre-civil war times?

Nobody complained about how inaccurate X Men First Class made the Holocaust/Cuban Missile Crisis appear.

who gives a fukk about BET vs. Vh1, they're both owned by the same people...and at the least, Vh1 doesn't show fukking re-runs of baby boy,love and basketball and menace to society 3-5 times a week...vh1 has been pandering to a low brow demographic for almost 10 years.

you really looking to a white owned,white ran network to give you a good representation of blacks? for a long time the only original programming they had was 106 n park and their award shows.

BET is deservedly called those things, just like MTV has been criticized for years for not showing videos anymore and just being reality tv and game shows...same shyt, different channel.


and Tarantino is factually correct in what he said about Roots...when people bring up how he stole much of story from a book a white man wrote,and the multiple historical inaccuracies..then y'all wanna claim it's wrong he can say things like that.

Spike Lee is just an attention whoring fakkit, he's hated on damn near everybody who's done it bigger than him...and thinks that we should still give him props for shyt he made 20 years ago.

y'all upset over the wrong shyt..

I said the bold the minute I seen the very first movie trailer for Django :bryan:

I'm waiting for these cacs to make a hollywood film making fun of the Holocaust...of course it would never happen :aicmon:

It's already been done....Quentin already made "fun" of the holocaust.

dikk Greg was highly disappointing in this discussion. He sound like one of those smart dumb nikkas, but I know that he's not

:smugbiden: Yet another example of the importance of wealth distribution. There are conscious efforts being made by entertainment elites in casting, funding projects, movie subjects and contents, but yet many of us still want to consciously ignore it because we don't want to be labeled a "black militant", "typical black person" , "conspiracy theorist", and as being "too race conscious"

props to @Nemesis for putting me on to this vid

Like I said in another thread

Strangely, I've yet to see a movie depicting the real-life horrific actions done to a group of people, injected with comic relief. That's like having the pianist movie, with comic relief in it

"bu bu QT made inglourious b*stards too about the jews" show me which comic relief scene followed the gas chamber scene

"bu bu he kill alot of white folks in the movie":stopitslime:

black folks don't need anymore help in conditioning them to view their history as not important and trivial. The half ass jobs by teachers from first grade to high school to "celebrate and educate" during black history is good enough conditioning, especially when it's complimented by the media

:facepalm:

making fun of Jews being tortured and making a comedy with the back drop of the war is two totally different things

Having seen Django, none of the comedic scenes (that I can remember) played on the brutality of slavery. Those scenes were actually handled extremely seriously.

you just proved my point.

can you point to the specific instances of Django making fun of slavery?

is it where two men fight to the death for the enjoyment of slave owners?

is it where a black man is ate alive by a pack of dogs?

nah, people just wanna say it's making fun of slavery cause of a few comedic elements within the movie.

Exactly. I think the people who says otherwise haven't seen it, or have horrible memories.

dikk was actually the person who convinced Foxx to start a radio station. Wonder if they're still cool?

Most of you young nikkas dont want anything to do with black history and things that are older than you, but old black men are still the greatest source of knowledge around.

When that generation dies a lot will be lost

all yall praising thisshyt realze this

we will never get a true depiction of ourselves in America

I hate to say it, but it's true, unless we are the ones making the film, it will likely be some bs depiction of us.

Don't remember having a thread bashing this scene



or the entire Catcher Freeman episode which actually made jokes about slaves getting whipped and other things people accuse Django of doing.

Even if it's black folks making the movie.... we'll still bytch and moan about how it's still not accurate enough.

wether is the skin tones of the people portrayed in the movie, how convincing/unconvincing the white people in the movie are.. blacks will find something to pick at about the movie.

it's not the like the holocaust, where there are a still a considerable amount of people still alive to draw from for accuracy...nobody is alive from slavery.

what it seems like, is that black folks want a passion of the christ-esqe styled movie about slavery...and that shyt just isn't gonna fly.

Well it seems we're starting to support more of our works.
Hidden Colors is a top selling documentary, and Awkward Black Girl(not a movie, but a tv show started by a sister) is generating profit. So I do believe, we can make our own arts and our people will support it.

Nah, we're not...atleast not in the capacity of "black" movies.

more and more of us, aren't just watching shyt simply off the strength that a black person is in it... it has to be quality.

most of our best black talent got the memo years ago, and branched out into other parts of hollywood.

Spike Lee again bytches about Tyler Perry and how he's supplied a stream of material to a niche audience of the black populace....cause he's afraid of that's what black people will be stereotyped as :rudy:

Spike could've done what Tyler did for black hollywood, but he didn't and is upset that he's not getting paid attention too.



the key is making things everybody will like, and support...that's how you win.

Scary Movie had a predominantly black cast, was directed by blacks... but it's not a "black movie"



if Tyler Perry can rake in that much money just drawing from a small sect of black america... just imagine what a black director could do by widening the focus?
