13471285, I really do hate Tarantino’s gratuitous use of the word “nigga”

… like it’s completely disorienting in his westerns

Context is I just got recommended a clip from Django, great scene … but the “niggas” throw it off … because it feels like a white man wrote a scene on how Black men would talk … and I feel s if us calling ourselves “nigga” really has been a flash and in the pan and niche (on the grand scale of space and time)

For outward facing culture it was like 10 years of niggas … let’s say 92 to 2002 … mainly centered around rap … and even throughout it’s always had in culture backlash

But it gave white people permission to use it … and so it’s like the most culturally relevant thing
