Remember when Spike Lee went at QT over that shit .....
The word "nigger" is used 38 times in Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown," says Spike Lee
Lee admits, "I'm not against the word, (though I am) and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But, Quentin is infatuated with that word. What does he want to be made -- an honorary black man?"
Lee says he has spoken to Miramax's Harvey Weinstein and the film's producer, Lawrence Bender, about the excessive use of the word. Lee would like to find out from Tarantino why he used it so frequently in this film "and he uses it in all his pictures: 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Reservoir Dogs...' I want Quentin to know that all African-Americans do not think that word is trendy or slick." Lee admits, "I don't expect them to change (the prints now out), but I want him (Tarantino) to know about it for future reference."
Lee also reminded Tarantino and his "Jackie Brown" filmmakers, "If I had used the word 'kike' 38 times in 'Mo Better Blues,' it would have been my last picture."
