Satisfies white peoples' pathological need to use the N word


Stopped watching it after 25 minutes. I have no desire to sit through a film which serves only to satiate racist white peoples' wet dreams. I get the feeling that if certain white people felt unable to say this word, they would froth at the mouth and drop dead. Bet the readers of Stormfront loved this movie.

Quentin Tarantino step father is black, Mr Curtis Zastoupil. Quentin Tarantino grew up as the only white face in a black community. Quentin Tarantino is inspired by 70s films that constantly proclaims niqqer this niqqer that. Quentin Tarantino is not a racist. Quentin Tarantino respects the negro. Quentin Tarantino is friend of blacks despite using the N word.

As a white person, I have no pathological need to use the N word. I don't even have any non-pathological need to use it. I prefer to call them negroes, or as my ancient Texan granny used to say, "nigras". That was the genteel word when I was growing up, and I'm sticking to it.

That's funny. I did the same thing when I first saw this movie. Was very offended and shut it off. Then years later it was on streaming for no fee, so I re-watched it, and enjoyed it for what it was, and in fact I think it is pretty brilliant. When I first saw it I was mostly offended for where it seemed to be going or what it seemed to mean, but that is Tarentino's super-power as they say these days, and he'd gotten very good at it.

I had the same experience with Inglouius Basterds.

Clearly you have a pathological need to use the N word, and you’re just projecting that onto others. Very typical SJW behaviour.

Tarantino loves busting taboos and it’s really refreshing to have his films liberally use ‘forbidden’ language and send wokists into hilarious offence-fits 🤣

That said, I noticed he didn’t use the word, or any racist slurs, in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I’d like to think it’s simply because the story didn’t require it, but I fear Tarantino might have been intimidated by cancel culture.

I did, however, appreciate the film’s portrayal of hippies and how several characters hated them. A refreshing change from the ‘peace and love’ portrayal we’re used to.
