Jamie Foxx says Leonardo DiCaprio did not want to say the N-word so much while reading “Django Unchained,” but Samuel L Jackson told him otherwise.
F.d. signifier talks about this in one of his videos. Don’t remember which and can’t find it. But as I recall his take was that it’s weird to be OK with playing a hyper-racist slaver right up until you have to say the n-word. Not to say DiCaprio is a bad person or whatever, but it’s a good point.
what point it that exactly, people have a limit to what things they can force themselves to be comfortable with while play acting? this is faux intellectualism and buffoonery writ large lol
what point it that exactly
That it’s a mirror for the way white liberals behave. Obsess over language while ignoring structural racism & denying material benefits to black people.
This reply is not for the person I’m replying to; I thought someone else stumbling on this might want clarification but I’m not continuing a discussion with someone who throws insults at me.
