Why though? I could understand if he didn't want his actors playing this guy, but his actors are dropping that word all up and down his movies. Thing is if Eric Stoltz's character did this scene It probably wouldn't have seemed as out of place.

Obviously I don't know what's in the guys head. But I can't help but believe there's a part of him that gets off on saying it. And I don't really think it has anything to do with hating black people. I just think it makes him feel like a bad ass. Plus I agree with jigga in that I believe he thinks he's so down he can do what he wants. Didn't he once tell Spike Lee he was blacker than he was?
