Does he say the N word despite not being Black?

---

hes old white lib "racist" where hes not vociferous and hateful, he just does and thinks dumb things sometimes.

---

I don't think anyone wants to lose his catalogue, even if he turns out racist.

I'm not giving up Jackie Brown.

---

Let me put it to you this way
if I was on an international talkshow, I would not do my 'black guy voice'
mostly because I don't have one since I'm not racist.

Well, that's on you if you did. I still can watch movies disconnected from the people involved.

I think The Usual Suspects is a fantastic movie, for example.

lol no.

Ok. I'm just trying to fuck with you anyway. I agree with what you originally said.

Is it a fucked up movie or something? Now I'm curious lol.

I went with other because while I don't think he's hateful or even harmful in anyway, I think it's clear he has certain old fashioned notions, buys into stereotypes and enjoys saying the n word a little too much.

He has an infatuation for a teenage girl in the movie. It's the main plot point. I know IRL it was young boys he accosted, but the gender isn't really the issue with what he did in his past.

Ah. Well, regardless, I probably could anyway lol

Hmmm, a bunch of white nerds on a video game message board who have never spoken to him who thinks he racist

OR

Black actors who actually know Quinton and have worked with him that know he isn't.

I wonder who I should believe?

Believe...in yourself.

No, but he likes to sneak racist sentiments into the dialogue of villains in his movies.

Ironically.

No

He made movies where hundreds of Asian men where slaughtered and he made the legendary Bruce Lee a cuck in a movie. Yes he's racist.

Kinda, yeah.

He's done a lot to be inclusive with regards to Black cinema and I give him sincere props for that. However, he has an apparent problem when a White person isn't Number One. He made an empowering antiracist film about a former slave turned bounty hunter and gave 80% of the memorable dialogue -- and the BIG DAMN SPOILER scene -- to said bounty hunter's White boss.

He also reimagined Bruce Lee, who was historically humble in his ability, as a cocky jerk who needed to be put in his place by an invented White guy. He's also spreading lies that Bruce Lee got choked out by Judo Gene LaBelle. They trained together. Bruce learned from Gene and Gene learned from Bruce, but they didn't fight each other and Labelle didn't choke him out.

So, fuck him for that.

Going with no.

He uses the n-word more than I'd like.

But like Mark Twain, who also used the n-word more than I'd like, he supports inclusive and progressive causes.

He says that he uses the n-word in his dialogue to signify characters who are bad and/or those with bad intentions at the time.

Thoughts on Jackie Brown?

Also who do you think is the protagonist of the hateful 8 or pulp fiction? I could see arguments for sam jackson for both.

IMO we should make a distinction between "he did some scenes or made some creative choices I don't like, or even some creative choices that I find racially offensive" and "he IS racist."

I always hated the "dead ****** storage" scene in Pulp Fiction. What would make him think to write those lines for his character

---

nope?

Mark Twain did not have good opinions of or portray Natives well.
