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":

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 :whew:. That your unconscious mind coping, finding power in that pain.

That's the point, you can't evolve pass something that's still effecting our People. The biggest issue with Slavery is America just doesn't want to address it, they still want to brush it under the rug cause it happen hundreds of years ago they feel it's over and we should move on. Lincoln freed us and then we had another 100 years of segregation. I was born in 1980 so I'm the 1st post-civil rights generation Black American. My parents grew up in that sh!t, My Grandparents also and my great-grandparents were Slaves.

Same with the Native Americans, America really haven't addressed them either. Jews got reparations, Japanese got reparations. Blacks? Nothing. We actually have Congressmen saying "Get over Slavery". The biggest issue is White America doesn't want to address it. Blacks should NEVER get over or move on from Slavery cause we need to always remember those who gave their lives so we could even sit in a movie theater and watch "Django". It's not weak to "Cling" onto Slavery, it's respect for our ancestors to understand their struggle and sacrifice. To the Jews the saying for the Holocaust is "Never forget". In America for Slavery blacks are always told to "Move On, Get Over It". Not me man, I will never move on, I have to keep those memories and stories in me to keep me grounded of my reality and understand why I'm even in the position to be where I'm at.

I try to avoid movies that depict black people as slaves. Even if the slave is getting revenge or over coming great odds. I'm just totally done with black people in slave roles.

^ fukk so they took off the boss n theme. the orig edit included the theme..

yeah they only play the franco nero piece in this one when he does something bad ass,

when he escapes slavery a second time i thought that would be a perfect time for the track to come one but they play john legend "what have they done to you"

I stayed through the credits to see if rzas name showed up in the cast but like old spaghetti westerns they only focused main characters then onto the sound dep.t etc. they did play a rza track which isnt on the soundtrack during the credits tho, its called RZA - "Ode to Django (The 'D' is Silent)"

found it: http://batshare.com/lruuyor4c2uj


btw: nothing significant at the end of the credits except the slaves looking back at each other then going "the fukk was that?"
