For a movie that isn’t released until tomorrow, it’s sure getting a lot of attacks.
Jumping on the very same train Katt Williams did just last week (although probably not as crazily), director Spike Lee is taking the upcoming flick, Django Unchained to task, calling it out as “disrespectful” and calling it’s producer, Quentin Tarantino everything but racist for creating the movie.
“I can’t speak on it ’cause I’m not gonna see it”, he told VIBE Magazine in a recent interview. “All I’m going to say is that it’s disrespectful to my ancestors. That’s just me … I’m not speaking on behalf of anybody else.”
He also went on his Twitter to give his thoughts in all capitals: “American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust.My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa.I Will Honor Them.”
The movie has been called controversial by most, including it’s use of the “n-word” over 100 times in it’s nearly 3-hour timeframe.
However, in an odd turn of events, he (like Katt) gets hypocritical whether Tarantino has the right to use the word at all in his movies.
“Let the record state that I never said that he cannot use that word”, he stated in a 1997 interview regarding another Tarantino release, Jackie Brown. “I’ve used that word in many of my films — but I think something is wrong with him.”
Something is definitely wrong — but I don’t think those who are also part of the same problem are seeing it. Just sayin’.
