Man that look is priceless! Dude knows he should have gotten an oscar or somethin for this role. Guess he'll have to settle for soul train, bet and naacp image awards.

Quintin Tarantino says "nigger" at the Golden Globes, Blacks defend him. 
Isiah Washington says "faggot" at the Golden Globes, fags destroy his career.

your thinking is a prime example of black people who are always worried about the wrong damn thing.
whats really fucked up is....if you watch the video, you'll see that he makes an argument against the current day prison system of slavery that most black people should be making and fighting against but we're too fucking stupid to stand up for ourselves and fight against it...or even fucking speak out about it. but we're upset that he said "nigga".
unfuckingbelievable. always worried about the wrong fucking thing.
Yeah, black people shouldn't be worried how we're portrayed and stereotyped
It only affects things like us getting jobs, loving oneself and having pride in our culture.
Yeah, we're worried about the wrong things
Like I've been saying, it's a direct correlation in our mentality and how we don't value our lives and each other.
But you muthafuckas love the white man, and defend him before your own

And did black people run to defend and support Isiah Washington like they are Tarrantino?
We have some sorry ass black people up here.
Exactly. His name was mud. Shit got bad for that brotha... really bad... http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?t=150842&highlight=Isaiah+Washington

Do gays walk around calling each other faggot?.. Did QT call anyone a ****** at the Golden Globes?.. What was the context when he said it?.. Was he simply referencing the press about the word pertaining to his movie?..
These two incidents are in no way alike.. This is a stretch armstrong reach, bruh..
Some of you niggas are dense as fuck, man... This shit is "bait" journalism at it's finest.. The guy didn't fucking randomly walk into the Golden Globes and say ******.. It's all about context..
It probably went something like this..
They baited him into saying that shit just to create a storyline, and you niggas are falling right into the racial bait trap..
It probably went something like this..

Do you feel like you overused the N-Word in "Django"?..
Tarantino
I don't.. I feel like the use of the word ****** in the film was justified as it was used immensely in the Antebellum South...

pretty simplistic way to disregard my argument. no one is saying to not care about how we are portrayed or stereotyped. as always, the overly militant but never militant about shit that actually matters crew is on the scene calling every dude that disagrees either a "white boy" or "white boy sympathizer". all because its hurting some these cats brains to think outside of reactionary fear perceptions. shits pitiful.
django doesn't stereotype us. it depicts a fictitious moment in history.
and loving yourself is about far more than protecting yourself from words, bruh. black people have let themselves become the "nigga" word police. always worried about the wrong muthafucking thing.

they dont want to hear that. they want to be mad. they want to feel disrespected. no one actually wants to do anything about the shit that matters...like the new slavery of tossing away black men into prison at record numbers for profit...no fuck that. lets be mad at a white dude who made a great movie about a period of time we're still greatly embarrassed about and make the white boy the problem. fuck the important shit..this guy said "nigga/er"!
Peace,
This is a dumb argument, man. Don't you think it's possible to concern yourself with both the prison industrial complex AND have the dignity to be offended when a cracker calls you a ******?

So explain to me how exactly he was "baited" into using the word so liberally in Pulp Fiction.

but your not doing both, so its not dumb.
neither you nor anyone else other than me bothered to talk about what he actually said. thats the damn problem. not to mention that this entire argument is based on a movie that many in here are criticizing yet havent seen, and you and these other dudes have no idea what the fuck you're upset about.
some of these cats in here are not much better than the idiots on the other side that watch fox news and get constantly baited by discussion of "the new black panthers" and obama's birth certificate. too stupid to judge proper context or too gotdamn ignorant to understand it. so we make superficial arguments about someone using saying nigga/er while completely disregarding why and in what context it was said.
What does Pulp Fiction have to do with the topic at hand?.. You're trying to change the topic entirely to sell your perspective.
My question is, why is this a story?.. Did he call someone a ******?.. What was the context of his using the word?.. I've used the word 300x times today myself (as well as most of us here) so why am I in a position to be appalled that he used it most likely in reference to his pre-civil war slave film?..
man he did Ving Rhames dirty in pulp fiction
Peace,
The entire "context" argument is disingenuous.
Let's ignore - for the moment - the fact that you're acting as if Quentin Tarantino is Noam Chomsky. Are you telling me that if a white person were to publicly rail against, say, police brutality and how harmful it was to the '******' population you would be supportive of his/her statement? Don't you think the power of the message is at least partially dependent on the words chosen to communicate it?
Or how about regarding QT's n1ggerisms within the context of his own work? He has a history of having his characters employ the term - COMPLETELY randomly - in other films. The fact that more than a few right-minded black folks should react badly to this makes sense (and, frankly, I shouldn't have to belabor that point to a sane black person).
Now let's get back to QT posing as some sort of freedom fighter: ask yourself what kind of world we're living in when a person has to rely on snide, n-word-obsessed, douche bag filmmaker to precipitate decision about issues that impact the black community. This motherfucker isn't a community activist. He's a weirdo who appears to be fixated on emasculating black men on film.

Exactly.. Outrage for the sake of outrage..
Peace,
You can't believe this. If I'm correct, Pulp Fiction is QT's magnum opus. In it, he needlessly has his characters referring to black folks as "*******." The point is, QT has a history of doing this shit - and the fact that thoughtful black folks call it into question shouldn't really offend you cats so thoroughly.
Please see the above "context" argument. Suffice it to say that it doesn't really hold water. This really wasn't a historical antebellum period piece. This was Catcher Freeman.

Point is.. His line in Pulp Fiction upsets me, even though I actually like Pulp Fiction. Don't get the significance of that scene, plus the fact that his wife was black in that film, all the while he's using that type of language..
Him using the word while answering a question where the word is the topic of the discussion is a different story..

Completely agree.
See, here is where he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from me. He's used up all of his "******" credits. At this point, he just WANTS to say that shit.

niggas is sensitive as fuck
So if what you said is the case, why in your estimation would he want to say the word (I'm gathering you mean "as much as possible".)?Peace,
