Quentin Tarantino is known for walking
a risky line in dealing with race in his films, and completely flies
past it when it comes to the use of violence.
His
latest film, called Django Unchained, is no different and the setting
of the slave-filled American south in the years prior to the Civil War
has many crying foul at his use of racial slurs.
This
is not the first time that Tarantino has been criticized for his use of
the n-word, as Spike Lee took issue with its use in the 1997 film
Jackie Brown where the controversial director allowed it to be used 38
times.
The latest
film, which will open on Christmas Day, focuses on the partnership
between a former slave who becomes a bounty hunter who enjoys killing
white people in his pursuit for his captured wife.
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE TRAILER


'Quite naturally, given the historical setting, the N-word gets a heavy workout, by whites and blacks alike. But much more forceful is the cruelty dispensed by the Southern whites, both as punishment and whim,' a review in The Hollywood Reporter says.
Among the scarring acts are instances when attack dogs are released on a man, and black fighters are forced to fight to the death in an ornate drawing room simply for the entertainment of a white plantation owner.

I bet nobody will complain about anti-white agenda from the characters in this. But oh no say the n word that all black people use as a general term to mean 'male' anyway, obvious racism. The word is used in these movies to make a point, the characters are supposed to represent either racists or people from a time where nigger was the word used by everyone. People will complain about absolutely anything
