With Spike Lee criticizing director Quentin Tarantino for the abundance of N-Word utterances in Django Unchained (over 110, according to unofficial counts), the female comedian is coming out in defense of the film and wondering:
"Doesn't it take place like during slavery? Wouldn't it be odd if they didn't have that horrific word in it?"
"[Spike's] got a lot of mishegas with a lot of art. I think you can't really tell art what to do."
Movie goers didn't seem to have any misgivings about the film, as Django Unchained broke box office records for an R-rated movie on Christmas day.
Have you seen it? What do you think of its N-Word use?
