It is truly safe to say that black folks drop the N b0mb more then any collective group of white people in the whole history of the word at this point. Even when white people used to openly say it back in the slave days, how often do you think he'd actually say it? Once a day? Maybe like 3 times a week? Now think of how many times the N b0mb is dropped in the African American community now. I must have heard it 4 times on the way to work today.

ALL Black slaves were referred to as "n:gger", it was used so much so by white people in reference to Black people, that we embraced it that's the kind of evils White people psychologically inflicted upon slaves, which was generationally passed down to their descendants living this very day. all you as a White person sees is the phenomena, and since you have no contextual understanding of why the behaviors are being exhibited, you don't understand it, and are only able to rationalize the behaviors based on what you presently know. | ||

| You may not be able to "tell art what to do" but you also cant tell me im not allowed to be offended by this. Do i think that there would be outcry if there was a movie with prejudice remarks about gays or jews or women damn right. Whats the last movie you saw where they treated women or gays or jews like !! ? That is a BIG part of history and is still occurring . | |

| To put it simply, !! the movie at this point--Tarantino knew that the minute he got a bunch of Uncle Tom black actors to co-sign him saying 'N!gger' like there's no tomorrow, he wouldn't have to worry about anything from blacks or whites, as his position in Hollywood ensured that his white colleagues & fellow entertainers would find every justification on Earth for him to use 'N!gger' in his works, something whites have always did in racial matters (Large numbers of them sticking together/having each others' backs). Spike's main issue with the film seems to be that a white director who delights in using 'N!gger' any and everywhere he can is the last person who should be directing a movie about slavery, especially when black directors would have a much harder time trying to do the same (And we won't even mention what would happen if a black director would want to make a movie about any 'white' atrocity throughout history--No, we won't even go there). But anyway, my biggest problem with the issue as a whole is that it's little more than another example of: 1) People (Mainly whites) thinking that because a mixed, light-skinned man is in office that America (And, by extension, Western society) magically became some kind of 'racial utopia' overnight (Hence Obama's[..]ertion(s) that 'We're living in a post-racial society--' Yeah, keep telling yourself that while reading all the racist Twitter & other Internet comments about you and while non-black racists depict you as everything from a Monkey to a Witch Doctor and no one has a problem with it, but I digress), and 2) The aforementioned fantasy of Western society being a 'racial utopia' therefore making many whites in entertainment (i.e. the guys behind South Park, Family Guy & The Cleveland Show, Robot Chicken, and even The Simpsons, which usually shies away from racial issues, among other shows) think they can not only speak on anti-black racism (A system that was created to and still benefit(s) whites and whites only), but joke about it and, as Scouser said, tell blacks how they should feel about racism, something they (whites) will never have to go through. Yes, 'art is art (I, as an artist, know this better than most),' but sometimes the issue isn't so much with the art, but with the artist. So all you super-defensive whites in this thread need to 'Get Over' that. As a matter of fact, unless what's being said in this thread applies to you (Translation: You're racist against blacks), why are you getting so mad and defensive in the first place? [pic] | |

and did you really try to imply companies are the reason people value shoes so much? regardless of how much they cost? so they're so brainwashed they can't control themselves from buying a pair of overpriced shoes? because society forces them to value a shoe? EDIT
