Quentin Tarantino was nothing if not Quentin Tarantino.
Less than a minute into his press conference backstage at the 70th Annual Golden Globes, the Django Unchained winner dropped the N-word. The usually bustling press room fell silent for a second; a reporter could be heard letting out a whistle, as in, "Oh, boy."
The filmmaker's choice language came as he fieldied a question about his controversial, slavery-era spaghetti Western. Tarantino was not apologizing.
Critics who think the N-word should not have been spoken by his 19th century characters, the mile-a-minute Tarantino argued, are "saying I should massage. They're saying I should whitewash. They're saying I should lie."
Don Cheadle, a winner for House of Lies, who took the stage right after Tarantino, couldn't resist picking up the thread.
"Please no [N-word] questions," Cheadle told reporters. "Black people questions are all right."
For the record, Cheadle said he hadn't seen Django, but was looking forward to checking it out.

That's all I have to say in this post.
I'm so pissed off with white people right now, particularly straight ones. This chick added me on facebook a while ago because my ex was trying to me to agree to have a threesome with her but I said no because I thought she was ugly. I finally deleted her after I posted on facbeook about a restaurant owner sending a lesbian couple a letter saying that their lives are unnatural and against god and this cretin has the nerve to say "well if I was gay I'd rather have him send me a letter rather than kicking over the table and kicking me out and screaming derogatory terms. An argument has ensued. I'm so pissed off I'm literally shaking, this little girl knows my cousin is a lesbian and we live together and I love her to bits so to see this travesty of a human being trying to give this bigot brownie points on ANYTHING is making me want to reach through my computer and drag her to hell.
Sorry about the rant. I just have a lot of feelings right now. I'm going to stop adding people I don't know, they always turn out to be shitty human beings.
I see the part about him being critiqued, but couldn't he have addressed that without saying the word?
That's great for him then...
