QT hasn't made many good movies. Reservoir Dogs was great, Pulp Fiction was structurally clever, and Jackie Brown was a decent but not spectacular genre film.The rest is bad.
Although I am a fan of the spaghetti western genre, or perhaps because I am, I am in no hurry to see Tarantino's 'tribute.' I fairly expect the film equivalent of his bar joke in Desperado, after all.
Having racist remarks in a movie is almost expected in this day and age, and would not necessarily prevent me from seeing the movie.
However, Jaime Foxx's epilogue, contained his true racist opinions about "White People" and was vile and vulgar, and it sickened me when I saw it.
Can you imagine the back lash if a White comedian replaced the word white with black?
Racism comes in many forms and does not concern itself with just one race.

JAMIE FOXX: My name is Jamie Foxx. Give it up, give it up, New York City, Saturday Night Live. Come on, make some noise, man. New York City, New York City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, it’s crazy. I'm black, and I’m dressed all black cause it's good to be black. Black is the new white. I’m telling you, how black is this right here? Nice fly, I’m saying. You know how I know black is in right now? Cause the Nets moved to Brooklyn. How black is that? They got black jerseys, black court. I mean, how black is that? And Jay-z is the owner, a rapper. How black is that? And Jay-z only own about this much of the team. But he act like he own all of New York. How black is that?
And I got a movie coming out, "...

And I got a movie coming out, "Django," check it out. Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson. “Django Unchained” I play a slave. How black is that? And in the movie I had to wear chains. How whack is that? But don't be worried about it because I get out the chains, I get free, I save my wife, and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that? And how black is that?
But I'm going to tell you right now, speaking of blackness, my President, President Obama is back up in the White House four more years. How black is that? And not only that, he’s so black, he was playing basketball during the Election Day. How black is that? But he was also late for his acceptance speech. Okay, all the white people, this is your turn - how black is that?
But he going to be extra black this next four years. He going to get everything black, and white people, don't get nervous about that because he is mixed. Now the first four years was the white side of him, because I don't know if you saw him on Ellen when he was dancing and everything. I don't know what this is. That wasn't President Obama, that was President Barry Gibb Obama. But the next four years he's even changing his name from to President Barack Dikembe Mutombo Tupac Mandela Hussein Obama X. How black is that? And the next time you see him dancing on Ellen, he gonna be dancing like this.

Regardless, it would seem that the "Spiker" failed to press the commentary button on that racist comment (like I care).
Ya gotta keep it all in perspective though, they're all a collection of phreakin' hypocrites.
Idiots.
