: Twitter is all a buzz this morning with reports that in the new Quentin Tarrantino move DJANGO UNCHAINED . . . Jamie Foxx is called THE N WORD approximately 159 times - by Caucasian actors, like Leonardo DiCaprio.
They might need to do some RE-EDITING. Cause we can't see ANY BLACK PERSON sitting through a movie like this . .
It's acting.. That is the only place where it's given a pass.. I'm certain its done to prove a point or to intensify the plot... Not cool, but it's acting

Quentin is a racist who deals with blacks, only to make sick fun of them as in most of his movies. He tries to impress the bad *** white audience who may interact with black daily but still believe they are superior and more powerful. He got Jamie because whites see him as the most current and accomplished black actor in white hollywood today. He'll do anything for fame and money that's why he's accepted. Now that he's successful it's means much more to degrade him. I know people are gonna say it's a comedy like a modern day a minstrel show. You laughing with Quentin black ppl?
Black people call each other *** 24/7....and like jay z said on the Oprah show as well as countless other black peoples way of thinking is that saying it now to each other takes away the ammo in it, so to me the damage is already done, the *** word being used by anyone, in particular white people in a movie about slaves, has absolutely no effect on my way of thinking, so congratz my people, ya have gotten what ya asked for ;)
Oh and I don't care if the slave wins in the end, he still wants to put the image out there, he's not slick and tries to get away with lots of sit. I just hope black people don't start ranting and giving him the negative attention that he wants. for once see the trap, *** if you black had seen the trap years ago he wouldn't be making a movie like this. Stop being so gullible
It's a period ovie and during that time, yes, blacks were called ***!ggers and negros. Stop trying to work sensationalism into your stories because you come up with total BS. Any black person doing a movie that exposed what being black was like prior to the 1980's, will more than likely be subject to being called a "***" at some point in the script. The movie looks on point and I WILL be watching it. As Nic said, Q is on point as a director.
@chocodrop11- Sorry but you sound ignorant. How are you going to accuse black people of using the *** word when your massa was the one who invented it and tainted the word in the first place? Massa been using it for over 500 years as a means to degrade ourr people and here you are saying that its our fault that Quentin Tarantino made a movie that uses the word 200 times??? Negro please. Its sorry no good, no standing up for morality or their people type of knee grows who are to blame for this. If Jamie Fox, Will Smith, and the rest of those so called bougie hollyweird knee grows took a stand and got a *** backbone, white actors and directors wouldn't use that word ever. But because we are sooo weak as a people, everybody and their mama feel it is ok to take pot *** at us. Black men are so weak. Im sorry because I love my black fam, and my black daddy and granddaddy and uncles, but COLLECTIVELY the BLACK MAN has FAILED his women and children and now his standing in society. This movie will undoubtedly be seen by BILLIONS of people across the world and all those people are going to say "wow there are actual black actors in the film that dont care if white men call them the *** word".. SMDH have pitiful. If you BLACK MEN spent as much ENERGY and DEDICATION towards uplifting our race instead of looking for white women and ***, then we would not be in this predicament.. I blame black women too because we also got issues that we could have handled better but mostly the MEN (those who are suppose to be providers and protectors and maintainers of the BLACK HOUSEHOLD have FAILED..FAILED..FAILED us in a huge way.
My ONLY COMMENT ON THIS POST COS SOMETHING BOUT HIM STRANGE AND HIS TRAYVON *** ON BET AWARDS wos CHEAP. LET ME TELL U ABOUT THIS *** THEN AGAIN LISTEN TO HIM AND HOWARD STERN ARGUEMENT THEY HAVE YOUTUBE. IT SHOULD TELL ENOUGH REEDBETWEENTHELINES THESE PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED GREEN PAPER MY *** ITS GOLD IN AFRICA.
Cause we can't see ANY BLACK PERSON sitting through a movie like this . .
Thank God at least the talking and eating will be down to normal levels and I won't have to hear conversations from Shalondrashaday or LaquenettaAaliyahJa'Quaelah speaking to their 12 boyfriends and 19 children on their cell phones during the movie
I agree with thebanker. Quentin's movies all have a racist undertone. Even though I enjoyed Pulp Fiction because of its creativity I hated the way he spoke down to Samuel Jackson's character in the movie or the way Ving Rames was a "big boss" but had to get smashed in the azz by some hillbillies. this is the way Quentin's mind orks, he can live out his imagination because of what he does for a living. I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS MOVIE!
I hate when people say "well blacks use it to call each other that so it's OK for others to do it" or something in that matter -_-
But if this is from a movie , then what can you say? It's ACTING, right?
But yeah.. any movie like that is just giving them a reason to do it openly and not get reprimanded for it.. gotta love acting! *sarcasm*
@ jasmineu2- *** u for calling me and ignorant, and thank you for validating my point exactly...your absolutely right that black people can be weak minded and actually think that its ok to use that word on a daily basis in casual convo when its been used to keep us down for hundreds of years. So let me clarify to you black woman that I never condone using the *** word in any situation, I was never apart of the movement to try to turn that negative into a positive. The point that I was making is at this point in time the *** word has been used to death, not only by our own people in life, movies and music, but by many other races as well who see us do it and thinks its ok. And mind you this isn't the first film released to use the *** word, whether it be 1 time or 200 times used wrong is wrong, and until we change our ways as whole by not trying to desensitize the word then why should I give a *** who uses it...I can stand alone in my morality but that doesn't mean the world is changing with me especially when the powers that be condone that behavior...
@chocodrop11- Once again your answer to Quentin's use of the *** word is just passive and effeminate like every other defeated knee grow in the country. You are giving Quentin clearance for using the word simply because as you said "we as a blacks use it so what do we care if others use it".. How cowardly is that as a defense?? You coming off as one of those "Who care" negroes. This is why there will always be Sean Bells, Rodnet Kings, Treyvon Martins, etc will continue to get *** and killed for nothing other than the fact their skin is black. Black men do not CARE about ANYTHING. They dont stand for NOTHING. Gone are the past days where BM used to stand up for their community. Now we have a bunch of white washed, White women gung ho, Effeminate, DL, ***, transgender (aka confused), "who cares" sorry knee grows who for all intents in purposes have been striped of everything especially their minds. Confused knee grows
Ha Ha Ha Ha really people dome of your favorite movies has the *** word all through it and now people got there panties in a bunch it a word that does not mean anything unless you let it and to @jasmineu2 no us black men has not grown weak as you put it I have a wife and four daughters by the same woman I work hard everyday to keep a roof and keep food in their mouths. My 7 year old knows Spanish and is learning Japanese and French and everything she learns she's teaching her sisters just like I sat and taught her. My wife had a little weight problem that made her feel bad about herself so I showed her how to exercise and eat right. Me and a few fathers around my neighborhood play soccer football play basketball and fly kites with our kids and the neighborhood kids teaching them all of the right things and no its not a few of us they have many of us who has grown to be strong men LOVE LIFE
It's funny to me a Hispanic....you guys call each other *** this *** that when it's a derivation of the word white people use to degrade you...yet you accept it into your own language.....but hell if someone says you like watermelon and fried chicken...you go freaking wild....I'd rather be told I like white rice and black beans before being called a spic....lift your race up...and stop using the *** word all together...
OH WELL!! GET OVER IT!!
FOR ONE IT'S JUST A MOVIE BUT IF IT WALK LIKE A MUD DUCK AND QUACK LIKE A MUD DUCK TRUST ME IT AIN'T A WHITE QUEEN!!!!
YOU CALL EM LIKE YOU SEE EM AND THAT IS JUST WHAT I DO!!! BLACK WOMEN I CALL THEM THAT ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE THEY SO SOME ***!GGER!$H THINGS!!! WE KNOW THEM AS ***!GGERET$ WHERE I AM FROM!! TRUST ME YOU ONLY GET RESPECT WHEN YOU EARN IT!! LAST TIME I CHECK BLACK WOMAN AND EARN I$H THE GOVERNMENT GIVES IT TO THEM!!! EVEN MY MOMMA AGREE!!!
MY MOMMA SAID: BLACK WOMEN AIN'T $H%T!! DON'T BRING ANY NAPPY HEADED KIDS HOME!! FIND YOURSELF A WHITE WOMAN (QUEEN) THEY DON'T LAY AROUND AND MAKE BABIES WANTING MONEY!!! I GUESS I MADE HER VERY PROUD!!!
ALL UP IN YA!!!
Actually this movie is that like the blaxploitation movies back in the day where a slave gets revenge on the slave owners that he had. He's almost represented like *** even use this quote like "I like the way you die boy". It will be very interesting this movie will either make or break Fox's career. Who knows it could be a classic cult hit like Pulp Fiction.
Any mofo on these forums that didn't have any issues w/ the title "Ni**** in Paris" being touted to the masses recently, can't say really say *** about the word being used in a movie about slaves back in the day. In real life, the racist were (and are) calling us a lot worse than, ni****. Tarantino grew up loving Blaxsploitation films, just like I did. I can't think of too many of his movies that didn't have strong Black characters as well as strong female characters in it. I'm sorry, but I'm a bit tired of Medea representing a strong Black character nowadays.
This must be an agenda… to bring back calling us that with no shame. Beyonce and Jay Z and Kanye and Gwyneth ushered this in. Jamie will probably be up for an Oscar for this. And what's up with all these damm slave movies like this and the Help? Seems like they want to get everyone back in that mindset.. for "some reason".
And if Jamie kills them in the end, that does not appease me. They are implanting this *** in people's minds for a reason. When a Black man gets called that in this day and age by a honky after honky sees this movie and watches Gwyneth get off scot-free, and said Black man kills his verbal assailant, or beats him to shreds, what do you think will happen to said Black man, in court? This is a setup.
And this time it's n***er; not n***a. Ole Gwyneth was a test. Now not just "harmless" white women, but even white men can use it, AND with the proper ending: -er. It may be time for us to make plans and get out of this country... go somewhere where we can build our race back up. African-Americans are going to toast here, and will be extinct before we as a collective even realize it is happening. Even the coons smitten with "mixture" will be tired of that weak look, and will weep for being gullible enough to kill off their own.
MTO... is this not a movie about a slave that was freed and seeks revenge??? what era was it?? when do movie do you not try recreate the era??? clothes, language?? YOU MOTHERF*CKERS AT MTO NEED TO DO BETTER WITH THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE...... JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE READ COMEDY BLOG, YOU NEED TO DO BETTER. STUPID N*GGERS.

I just finished watching the movie and I thought it was Amazing, Jamie Foxx is seriously off the chain. I think ppl should hold their judgement until they actually watch the film. In fact Sam Jackson's character called Jamie Foxx's character '***' more than any other character in the movie. Also please consider the time this movie is set in, it would be unrealistic to not use the word. I personally think the problem ppl have with this movie is that a 'white' man directed it, which is silly. I'm all for any director putting more blacks in films and putting blacks as heroes in movies, and Django was definitely a hero in this movie. But I think some are not willing to see that because they want to be on their soap box. Well its truly their loss if they don't watch and support this movie. Jamie, Leo, and Sam acted their *** off in this movie and I will not be surprised come Oscar time if they all get a nom.
