Sort of hard to comment on the n-word issue, as there was no context given on how he used it.

Tarantion didn't use the n word in reference to the US prison system he was talking about the use of the n word in his film, which some have criticized. The headline is blatantaly misleading and false.

Watch the video clip yourself, they are clearly asking him about the use of it in his movie, which is about slavery before the civil war.

Seems like in that context, as part of the discussion . . .than he is perfectly fine to use the word.


How can you have a honest and open discussion, if you shut down the discussion? sheesh

Didn't slave owners use the n word all the time? Or did they use the term African American??

You can't, which is why the Democrats try to shut down discussions all the time by calling you racist.

Modern day black people call one another the n-word all the time.
