The D-War (director war)
The links above contains the posts about the debate "fight" between two directors, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee. Lee states that Tarantino's movie 'Django Unchained' overused the N-word (nigger), and that it is racist and disrespectful to Africans. Lee left similar comments on Tarantino's other movies such as 'Jackie Brown'. I personally think that Spike Lee is overreacting to his movies. a non-African cannot create a completely accurate film of African American history because non-Africans never exprienced what they had to go through, but Tarantino managed to do it fairly well, well enough to create empathy for non-African viewers and feel good when white people were getting shot. And 'Django Unchained' did have a lot of N-word in many scenes, but Tarantino purposely did it to ridicule the racism at that time period. As an Asian living in Canada, I know the difference between being racist and making a joke, and this wasn't being racist. The word 'nigger' comes from the word negro, meaning the colour black in Spanish. As an African, I don't think being called black should not be too offensive. also, Spike Lee also said that he uses the N-word sometimes as well. If overuse of N-word offensive of Africans, then Africans should not use the N-word either.
Quentin Tarantino Movies:
