Quentin Tarantino's infatuation with the N-word - is this problematic?

[wes]

Sure, sure...like you've never seen the "women in cages/women in jail" movies from the 70s. Or the Pre- Daisy from Dukes Of Hazzard women. Basically exploitation films, a sub genre of grind house films of the 70s.

If you want to see what Tarantino go to source material is, just take a look at this site:

Along with the movies, Mandingo, Black Mama/White Mama, Cleopatra Jones, Bucktown, USA

Exactly the type of old grindhouse flick I was referring to.


Nothing new just a bit updated and in some cases,even more ridiculous than the originals.

Tarantino admits he's infatuated with the N word because his mother had a black boyfriend who smoked weed and used the term all the time...so he feels he has a right to use said word...I agree with him....no one should have an ownership of words

A backdoor way to say that he was infatuated with the black man (culture) who was sleeping with his mother. A cuckhold by proxy?

white privilege point of view there, like a mofo. I dated black women before and I don't have the right to use that word.

I think you should though.

Either the word is bad or it isn't. That's all I'm saying. If it's bad. It should be bad for everyone.

Nothing new under the sun. Especially in fiction. No matter who you are you have your influences and you can only tell old stories in a new way. Tarantino is great at that.

oh if he just said bitch it would be fine though?

Would she be upset by that?

Like I said. Either words are bad or they are not. That's how I feel about it.

.   I was having difficulty ascertaining the semantic content subsumed in all of those verbal volleys of the N-word epithet. Was it being used as A: ('N-word' = an in-group semantic inversion of a dehumanizing term in an endearing fashion), B: ('N-word' = a racist term used to imbrute black people), or C: ('N-word' = muthafucka')?
Huh

Pissed myself laughing at this.

Show me where I'm wrong, princess.

Would never get a movie financed if he used that word like he uses the N-word.
