White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

    The worst is Quentin Tarantino shoehorning his characters saying that in all of his movies.

      I think those are all appropriate for the movies they’re in. You can argue whether a white director should do that.

        In Django sure but I would not say so for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. Hell, Samuel L Jackson specifically told him not to say it in Pulp Fiction. It does not make sense for the scene either. A suburban white dude is going to say it multiple times to a black assassin who just got done killing people? His character is not supposed to be a bumbling moron.

          I think it shows his character has power in the situation, is familiar with Jackson’s character and demands his respect. But that’s subjective.
