Quentin Tarantino Calls the Confederate Flag the ‘American Swastika’


To back up his claims, Tarantino used the mass shooting as Mather Emanuel Church in Charleston, SC. He goes on to rant and call the Confederates terrorists.

“I mean, I’ve always felt the Rebel flag was some American Swastika. And, well, now, all of a sudden, people are talking about it, and now they’re banning it, and now it’s not OK to have it on f***** license plates, and coffee cups and stuff. And people are starting to question about stuff like statues of Bedford Forrest in parks. Well, it’s about damn time, if you ask me.”

The Confederates, who many consider to be terrorists and treasonous, declared a rebellion against President Abraham Lincoln and the United States government following a move to stop the expansion of slavery.

It’s been the topic of heated debate in recent times with many viewing it as a symbol of racism and calling for removal of the flag.

The Hateful Eight has opened to lackluster reviews and is currently sputtering to a halt at the box office. And in more recent news regarding Tarantino, he’s being sued for his Django Unchained film, which Oscar Colvin Jr. and Torrance J. Colvin are claiming belonged to them. It looks like in his quest to remain relevant, Quentin is making some really bad decisions.

Now, the filmmaker is getting sued for hundreds of millions over plagerism allegations:

According to The Wrap, two filmmakers are suing the director for copyright infringement, claiming the 2012 film is a copy of their screenplay, Freedom.

Oscar Colvin Jr. and Torrance J. Colvin say they submitted their screenplay to a talent agency, and Tarantino was suggested as a possible director. The lawsuit claims that he then ‘took the plot lines and main story of Freedom and Tarantino-ized them,’ and that the Colvins ‘provided the heart, bones, and muscles to develop the unique idea that eventually would be transformed into Django Unchained‘.

It also describes Tarantino as a self-described ‘thief’, quoting him as saying: “I steal from every single movie ever made.”
