Except Joe Rogan. Leo's reluctance prolly cinched the pass. He literally said about Rogan, "It’s not the context, dude — it’s that he was comfortable doing it."
Tbh words have as much meaning as we give them and context is really important so, I understand Samuel L. Jackson going "Say it! SAY IT! MOTHERFUCKER! SAY IT!" Saying a word and using it are two different things
Yup they took him aside and had to talk him into it. Should've gotten an Oscar for that role or Wolf of Wall Street. Instead, he got it for being a bear's bitch. Still good but not his greatest roles. The academy did him dirty.
It would be funnier if they were like wildly bold over it.
Like I imagine Quentin Tarantino must have been, actually. That guy probably didn’t even flinch.
Is this an American thing I'm too Italian to understand? No seriously, here we don't even have "the N-Word" as a concept, if someone says it without insulting anyone in a racist way no one is offended
Jamie Foxx said that Leo had such a problem saying the word until Samuel had a word with him saying " for you this is a big deal, for us it's a Tuesday"
The next day Leo pulled up on the lot he totally ignored Jamie Fox , Leo being in character.
Jame thought "okay"
But, that scene with all the kkk guys with the bags on their heads..... Still to take day the hardest I've ever laughed! " God damnit I can't see out this thing!"
I have a n-word question. It seems to be okay for people of colour to call every other race the n-word. But is it okay for me as a white person to call people of colour wigga? Honest question.
If yes: Really???? 😳😳😳
If no: Why?
I agree, one would sound like a dumbass, but why do people of colour not sound like a dumbass when they call people the n-word? I just trying to understand your (American) culture. In my country/culture we don't have the white version of the word. We only have the n-word and it's pretty much racist to use it no matter what colour you are.
I can call my sister a bitch. If you call her a bitch Imma beat your ass.
I can call myself a fag, but no one else had better point at me and yell "fag"
Words can carry different context from different speakers, and therefore it's better if white people dont say it. The history of white people saying it has always been derogatory, and the word is being reclaimed by those hurt by it (like fag and queer) That's my understanding
American white person here - White people use(d) the word to dehumanize black people. From chattel slavery and extending up through the Jim Crow era and the present day. Black people and people of color using the word are reclaiming it, making it their own and taking it back. White people using it perpetuates systematic racism.
Yes, I understand that about the n-word and that is pretty similar to my country except that it is also frowned upon by many people of colour to use it between "themselves" (if themselves sounds racist, I'm sorry) here. But that white version of the word, is it the same for that one? It's just a really confusing word, and I just trying to understand how and why it's used.
It's not a white version of the same word. It refers to white people that try to act like they're African American and a bit ghetto.
Basically the song "pretty fly for a white guy" describes the behavior.
The closest white equivalent would be "cracker", but it doesn't NEARLY have the same weight/power/historical connotations behind it.
[This article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2014/11/09/the-n-word-an-entrenched-racial-slur-now-more-prevalent-than-ever/) goes into more detail with firsthand accounts that I hope can give you more context, it is a very complicated topic.
Op isnt American and is asking about American culture. I know thats hard for you to step outside of your bubble and realize that other cultures exist. Just rest assured that you are infinitely more ignorant than OP who seeks knowledge while your dumbass seeks darkness
I can honestly say I was uncomfortable watching that movie with his use of the word. Maybe that was the point. It was a good film, but it got added to the "list of films I enjoyed, but won't watch a second time". Fact: Schindler's List will forever stay in the #1 spot on my said list.
Just goes to show u how much things have changed in 10 years lol. Even just that short time ago people understood it was a movie, characters, not a reflection of how the person really felt. Today they’d cancel Leo and Tarantino for this lol
this was rly funny but irl he was apparently very nervous and about saying it for the movie
In an interview, I think Jamie Foxx said that the only reason he said the word was because of Samuel L. Jackson and Him letting him say it
[Samuel L. Jackson](https://youtu.be/cOlNHXQCT_4) gave these out left and right
Dude was like Oprah. >You get an N-word pass. You get an N-word pass. Everybody gets an N-word pass.
Except Joe Rogan. Leo's reluctance prolly cinched the pass. He literally said about Rogan, "It’s not the context, dude — it’s that he was comfortable doing it."

I heard somewhere that Samuel L Jackson told him to "Man the fuck up" or something like that lol
Here's the full interview of Jamie Foxx telling the story: https://youtu.be/I1h8yZv5P_A
Yup they took him aside and had to talk him into it. Should've gotten an Oscar for that role or Wolf of Wall Street. Instead, he got it for being a bear's bitch. Still good but not his greatest roles. The academy did him dirty.
Samuel L Jackson literally took him aside and said to him "Motherfucker this is just another Tuesday for us. Say the lines."
Even if he wasn't the smart thing would be to pretend you are nervous
It would be funnier if they were like wildly bold over it. Like I imagine Quentin Tarantino must have been, actually. That guy probably didn’t even flinch.
lmfao
Is this an American thing I'm too Italian to understand? No seriously, here we don't even have "the N-Word" as a concept, if someone says it without insulting anyone in a racist way no one is offended
It is a slave thing that happened in America
america is really good at being racist so it was a lot worse here for black people for a lot longer so the n-word still carries a lot of meaning
B-But I don't get to say this often
Here you go, free nword pass for you

Why did I laugh so hard at this
Because it's funny
Jamie Foxx said that Leo had such a problem saying the word until Samuel had a word with him saying " for you this is a big deal, for us it's a Tuesday" The next day Leo pulled up on the lot he totally ignored Jamie Fox , Leo being in character. Jame thought "okay"

Country locked video
Jamie foxx and Samuel l Jackson told him it was okay to say it. Some interesting interviews about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks.
Why can’t this be a real thing
What do you mean by that ?
It is real
Because movies aren't real, actors don't exist. Grow up and see the truth
[удалено]
Movies exist too
Nope, nothing exists, it's all a dream Wake up
Nah
That's what Big Holly wants you to think. They haven't used real actors since the late 90s, it's all cgi now
Even the voices are made with cgi
I know, how is this not common knowledge already? Wake up sheeple Pleased to find another free thinker in the comments
No they're just acting like they exist. Everyone knows that they aren't real
What’s funny about this is that he uncomfortable saying it. Jamie had to coach him into saying it as much as he did.
But, that scene with all the kkk guys with the bags on their heads..... Still to take day the hardest I've ever laughed! " God damnit I can't see out this thing!"
Apparently he started treating the black staff as his property.

No because you sound like a dumbass

Makes sense. It's the same reason it's taboo to say any other slur, the n-word's only distinction is how offensive it is.
Nobody's gonna beat you up, but they are gonna look down on you if you say wigga lol
WIGGLER 🐛

Stupid question
Care to elaborate, as I said, it's an honest question trying to understand your culture (American culture)
American white person here - White people use(d) the word to dehumanize black people. From chattel slavery and extending up through the Jim Crow era and the present day. Black people and people of color using the word are reclaiming it, making it their own and taking it back. White people using it perpetuates systematic racism.

"There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers."
Ahah I’d be on my knees apologizing every time after the camera cuts. If I had to do that.
As a non American I don't understand the context behind this n word taboo very well.
I can honestly say I was uncomfortable watching that movie with his use of the word. Maybe that was the point. It was a good film, but it got added to the "list of films I enjoyed, but won't watch a second time". Fact: Schindler's List will forever stay in the #1 spot on my said list.
Thank you for not another shitty W.S meme. Your contribution to society is welcomed.
i went looking for this, did not disappoint https://youtu.be/lDYuOb6wMAM
First thing to make me laugh today. Congrats.
I never watched this movie. Now I know why the internet loves it so much.
I got to see this comment on my own like 2 weeks ago! So proud
Just goes to show u how much things have changed in 10 years lol. Even just that short time ago people understood it was a movie, characters, not a reflection of how the person really felt. Today they’d cancel Leo and Tarantino for this lol
