The Klan wasn't created until the after the Civil War. Why does "Django" need to be fictional? Why not create a movie Nat Turner movie? Make it the black version of Braveheart. You know Hollywood would not want a movie based on a REAL black character killing cacs. :birdman:

Who's gonna have the balls and courage to fight for a Nat Turner movie. Hell, it might happen now that QT did this movie.

You notice Muslim, never have this problem.

If QT made a movie about Mohammed, showing him having sex with underage girls and all the other shyt this motherfukka did, they would explode upon Hollywood in murderous rage.

nikkax is soft. This what Django Unchained is about to me, the white dude the whole time was trying to make this nikka hard.

ANd nikkaz is soft to this day. fukk this movie I wish it was REAL.

You got all these fakkit ass gangs, hoe ass rappers like Chief Keef, who people got the nerve to call TOUGH, and GANGSTA.

You gotta gang of so called Gangsta Disciples threatening and a FAKE CO/DRUG KINGPIN moonlighting as a FAKE MASON, WTF?

If you so GANGSTA why don't raid the prison and break your leader out.
If you so TOUGH why don't kill these crooked politicians that write the laws that hender us, if you so BAD so TRILL so HARD then FIGHT YOUR OPPRESSOR, and thats THE ONLY THING THAT WILL CHANGE shyt IN THE END.

The problem isn't just about making your own movies... there are plenty of black directors out there coming up without the help of hollywood studios.

The bigger problem is the black audience lack of support for most of these movies.. That's why we're constantly getting the black christian going Tyler Perry type bullshyt constantly pushed out there.. over movies like The Great Debaters, Night Catches Us, Eve's Bayou, etc... because that's what black people go out and support..

that's not true, those movies are not marketed nowhere near the level of Tyler Perry, and never will be. Films like that never are.

But where's the black science fiction films, where's the black actions movies, where's the black horror, where's the black mind fukk movies where nobody can even explain the shyt after it's over.

There's no diversity with the films black people make, how many Friday's Ice Cube gotta make I mean the first one was good enough for me.

Your last comment furthers my point.. There's no diversity because black people don't watch nothing but Tyler Perry type romance/christian esque flicks or Ice Cube flicks where fart and weed jokes are rampant throughout..

Red Tails is a prime example of a flick that had decent marketing and promotion and was supposed to be a huge step toward big budget films with a black cast no one saw it.. Think Like A Man came out and was number 1 for how many weeks? not only that but it made over 2x's what Red Tails brought in.

And you can argue the quality of Red Tails, but there's no fukking way you can seriously try to convince me that a movie like Think Like A Man is that much better...

Theres a another about slavery coming out next year
Twelve Years a Slave (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

about an actual Black slave's account.

McQueen is an excellent director. He's probably the best, active Black filmmaker in the game right now, and he has a lot of cred with white audiences because his last two films weren't "Black" films (though they did involve Blackness in interesting ways,) plus he basically sparked Michael Fassbender's career. I trust him with the source material, and I hope he pulls it off.

I want to see a movie that makes me proud of my white heritage

Here's a question. We don't want anyone telling any stories about us. Why are we not making them then? Everything doesn't have to be a huge Hollywood blockbuster. Low budget, award winning films are being made about all kinds of subjects all over the world. All talk, no action. Instead we get a million hood movies about nothin.

It's a dream of mine to launch an independent film producing company someday for black science fiction, action and historical films.

Tyler Perry sickens me to be frank.

Saw the movie today. I can honestly say the movie was GREAT. This might go down as Tarantino's best work. I think many people thought the story would be the typical white man saves the black guy, but Tarantino let the character take command in a way that maybe has never been done in Hollywood(in this type of situation). Christopher Waltz character I almost feel is a version of what Tarantino is doing himself by making this movie (putting himself on the line). Spike Lee, Cornell West and the other clowns need to sit down. Tarantino just showed how to send a message to the youth. Make it entertaining and put your message inside the play.
