because the word nigga is used in a movie set in slavery times
an if u didnt know whenever anybody says nigga another black person goes to jail an a cac gets his wings
I agree.. I akways tell people that if u want to call each other nigga thats cool, but dnt let another race call u that. They b like y its cool. I say no its not call a polish person a pollock n see what happens. Call a white person a redneck n see where the convo goes.. they wont stand there n let u, so y should u let them disrespect..because u shouldnt n dats dat! Spike on point with the lil that was said!
They want slavemasters to call slaves "asiatic Kings and Fathers of the Universe". I dont see how people would get mad over this. Its accurate. Its like when cats get mad when Italian mobsters call black folks niggas. Like Italian gangsters are PC sensitive liberals and shit. Do you want realism or not? If you dont go watch Reading Rainbow
Honestly, my only info are the clips i see here. But i would guess Spikes issue is many-fold... A slave story from black perspective written by a white guy, A film making light of the institution and injecting what may be perceived as insensitive comedic storylines, maybe he doesnt feel QT went through the proper channels or consulted the proper people to tell this story, QT's habitual overuse of the N word...etc..
Just my guess.

I think Spike moreso has a problem with QT than anything and his egregious use of the N word. I think he feels like he is a racist in general, and he has taken an actor that he gave some of his first major roles to (sam jackson) and turned into a star.
I don't think it's the use of the N-word that cheapens the film but the fact that it's Tarantino writing/directing it...other than the time period I doubt there'll be anything historical much less "educational" about this flick...and I've read the script so I have more than a good idea of what the film will entail barring a few changes that they've probably made
Peace,
Safe to say that you're correct about all of this. Even Denzel Washington stepped to Tarantino about how liberally and disrespectfully he threw the word ****** around in Pulp Fiction. Sam Jackson will defend Tarantino until the cows come home because he helped put him on the map, but I don't understand why other black folks continue to give him a pass on that.

whats deep about it?
actually the movie portrayed slavery in a somewhat realistic view point, the slave masters in the movie weren't some lovable characters
You really believe Spike Lee hates him cause he made Samuel L Jackson a star???
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BLACK PEOPLE??
Denzel recently spoke on this as well... Im trying to find the video.
yeah man cats are offended by a movie in which a slave kills a bunch of racist white people and comes out on top at the endYou really believe Spike Lee hates him cause he made Samuel L Jackson a star???
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BLACK PEOPLE??
Exactly. It is disrespectful to make a spaghetti western slave movie. Period end of discussion. Are you idiots cool with a slave comedy. The institution of slavery in America and its economic, legal, and cultural implications is one of the most reprehensible acts ever committed. To allow a white man to disrespect the death and suffering of our ancestors by making it the impetus for a protagonist's rage is sad. It's even sadder that he was able to convince an oscar winning prominent black actor to star in it and another prominent black actor to co-star. (I'm not surprised at Samuel though he'll do anything for a check)
I agree with Spike 100% and any self respecting black person would be a fool to allow our suffering to be marginalized.
Yeah OK.

You just ignore the other reasons i put in my post and focus on one?

People in here too fixated on looking for "hate".
Spike has a legit issue with Tarintino. I also have an isse with Tarintino dropping the word ****** in damn near all of his movies. It feels a lot like he put it in there just to act like he's "down".
Niggas kill me thinking shit always going to be one way!
Spike say he want going see that bull shit movie and niggas get mad at him!

Let's see...
QT has made some of the most entertaining exciting movies I've ever seen...
Spike Lee has made some of the most pretentious boring pieces of shit in the long history of a medium filled with boring pretentious pieces of shit...
Who should I listen to...? Hmm....Such a hard choice...

I read your post and agreed with a portion of it.
The part about jealousy of making Sam Jackson a star is BS tho.
Peace,
Dumb post. This isn't about whose films you like better.

tell em why you mad honkie
I read every post in this thread, then listened to Spike. He sounds bitter and small. I can't go with him on this one, while I'm not keen on white people using the n-word, I am keen on a brother killing them after they say it. I approve of that message. I'm less troubled by this than I was about "The Help.".
As for Spike, i wish he would just make a movie that I want to watch.

Denzel did step to him when they brought in QT to help with some dialogue scenes in Crimson Tide featuring Denzel and Gene Hackman. I think it may be that one about Lippizaner stallions. Anyway, Denzel felt QT over uses the word and I have to agree. I'm one of the greatest fan of QT's artistic work. Lately I have had to pay close attention. Some of his ****** scenes in his movies are uncalled for. In Reservoir Dogs there was a scene in the car where the CACs were talking about black men always beating on their women. Of course in Pulp Fiction, there was the - "the dead ****** sign in my driveway" scene. He didn't direct the movie "True Romance" but he wrote the script. There was a scene where Dennis Hopper's character talked about how Italians had ****** blood in them from back in the day and that was why they have darker skin and black hair. The remark pissed off the bad guy (Christopher Walken) who then shot him several times. Anyway, Dude is really obsessed with ******. Clearly he has no understanding of black people so he puts in the his hearsay and biased crap in his movies. I think It takes away from him being on the most gifted directors/story tellers.
Black actors with prestige like Denzel,Morgan Freeman, Whitiker, Fishburn will not act in QT's films. They feel they have a responsibility on how they are portrayed in movies. I think Will Smith has politely turned down QT a few times too.
Dumb reponse...
What else IS it about for the individual film viewer...?
This bullshit pseudo intellectual crap is what made Spike Lee. Black folks are to quick to think someone is deep if he add a little "racial awarness" to his work. Spike Lee's films are second rate film school bullshit.
I wouldn't see another one of his pieces of shit if he made a film about my Mom...Sorry Mom...
