What I find funny is everyone is saying "The Use of the N-word is realistic" but when in the next sentence saying "Oh but it's a fantasy, it's not real". Make up your mind, either it's realistic or it isn't. The movie sounds like a cartoon. Sarah Silverman just came out and said "Let the N-Word Flow". Imagine a Black person saying "Let the Kike Flow". This movie may be a fun shoot em up but I don't like what I'm hearing about White people laughing at it. This was Spike's point, our Struggle wasn't a joke. SMH @ this being this generations "Roots":
Sarah Silverman Defends 'Django Unchained' -- Let the N-Word Flow! | TMZ.com
thats bullshyt fam, we need to let that victim ass struggle shyt go. The past was fukked up, yes. The present is less fukked up but still fukked up, yes. But to keep clinging to slavery and things of the sort make us black folks look real weak imo. I'm not diminishing the struggle, but i just think its time for our people to evolve past it. I haven't heard a jew mention the holocaust in years, and i'm not saying forget about it, im saying find strength and pride in that pain and triumph, not cling to it like our mama's titty.
White folks bring up slavery around me and im more than willin to educate, and im more than willing to correct and get at a person if they are erroneous or false with it. But to look back on a film like this and enjoy the artistic merits i think is a triumph for black folks who even have the mental stamina to endure such images.
Seeing Rosewood and Django and films of the sort don't fill me with RAGE any more...they make me want to do better and succeed in this world...spitting in the faces of those who thought that i was some how an inferior creature....Most of us live in homes, attend schools, buy things and do things that white people back then and up until the end of jim crow couldn't even fathom black people doing....and that is victory in its purist form.
How many times have you and yours got out of a scrap, or shots rang out or any other crazy situation and you look back and make jokes or go . That your unconscious mind coping, finding power in that pain.
