Thats why dude is my favourite actor because he lets these fools know that he doesnt respect them and he wont tolerate bullshyt

The fukked up thing is the reason why the bytch still remembers this is because its probably the only time in her life a black person has checked her for her bullshyt

And thats why I lost a lot of respect for Sam Jackson when he defended Tarantino when spike called him out over his bullshyt

Tarantino had a habit of unnecessarily using the N word in his movies , I fukking cant stand that c*nt , the dude thinks hes some kind of aficionado of black culture and that gives him honorary black man status and you could fukking see he was doing certain things to be provocative

And the worst thing was we all could see what he was doing , hed been doing this from day one , he probably chose the Django script so he could use the N word .... And thats why white people are devils because they will be racist just enough that we know what they are doing , but not enough that they could deny it and say we have a chip on our shoulder

and I dont know what was worse

The fact that Tarantino used the oldskool tactic of not even answering but sending out Jackson like some steppin fetchit to discredit another black man

The fact that Samuel Jackson didnt have the intelligence to see what Tarantino was doing

But the fukking absolute worst thing , is that you had no loyalty to the man that launched your career , fukking snake

If it were me I would have been on TV saying how I heard Tarantino calling Spike the N word..... fukk Sam Jackson

Neck ties and boxing gloves.
Denzel is an intense dude that doesn't fukk around.

One of our finest actors.

She would have had a similar reaction to Pacino or DeNiro.

They don't need you, Katie. You need them.

Katie Couric says she was “shaken” by an “uncomfortable” interview with Denzel Washington back in 2004.

While on the “Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino” podcast this week, Couric, 63, recalled the awkward “Dateline” interview — which involved Washington, as well Meryl Streep, during a promotional run for their film “The Manchurian Candidate” — after Pellegrino brought up the art of celebrity and political interviews.

“I just remember leaving it and thinking, ‘God’ … I don’t think I said anything wrong … I don’t know what happened. Anyway, I think he must have been having a really bad day, because he later wrote a big check to my colon cancer organization, which I thought was super sweet.”

She continued, “I love him. I admire him so much, he’s one of my favorite actors, but I remember walking out feeling kind of shaken that he had gone after me in a way that was completely weirdly uncalled for.”

The “Dateline” interview involved Couric asking Washington, 65, if he agrees with the notion that “Hollywood folks should stick to acting.”

“I don’t know what Hollywood folks are, first of all,” he retorted. “Hollywood is a town that has some stars on the sidewalk. I don’t know anybody from there. So, I don’t — that’s like saying — calling you a ‘type’ of folks. I’m not a Hollywood folk. I don’t know who they are.”

“OK, all right, well, let me rephrase the question,” she responded. “Are you one of those people that —”

“Ah, there you go,” Washington interrupted. “Am I one of those people? Hmmm, isn’t that interesting?”

“Oh, stop, stop, stop,” Couric replied, to which Washington answered, “No, don’t stop. I heard what you just said. ‘Am I one of those people?’ No, I’m not.”

Couric countered by telling the star, “No, are you an actor who would rather not —”

“No, I’m not that either,” Washington added in response to being labeled an actor. “I’m a human being. My job is acting.”

A rep for Washington told Page Six the star has no comment.
