How exactly is the holocaust more "respected" than slavery?

How'd I forget about John Singleton and The Hughes brothers tho?
When is the last time they made movies tho?
you forgot a lot more [carl franklin being a glaring omission]...it has a been a long time [too long in some cases] since the directors that were mentioned had jobs but america is having a hard time providing black folks with work--

With that said, Black Directors have had a chance to do "Race/Jim Crow/Segregation" Films like John Singleton's:

Jews got Reparations. Blacks Did not and it happen in this country. That's why. America Congressmen on the floor of the senate have told blacks to "Get Over Slavery". Let me know of a Congressmen that has ever said "Get over the Holocaust" then we can have a conversation.
America isn't paying jewish folks reparations. Germany is. They're two separate issues. And yeah, most of our congressmen are dumb as a fukking rock, I can't help that America elects a bunch of fukking morons.

Because a Jew/white person will deny the fact tht more black folks died violently throughout the duration of slavery in America, than so called Jews during the holocaust
Uh.. I've never ever heard a white person deny that fact..stop saying "white people" do this or "white people do that"...no they don't

OK Guys, I'm going either tomorrow or Saturday. I'm a huge movie buff so don't expect a bias review. If I like it, I will keep it 100% real with everyone. If I don't, you will get the same. Being that I've seen every QT and Spike movie I can separate the beef and just watch the movie for what it is since I do like both directors work. So I will post my full review in this thread after I full digest the film and break it down. Also as I've said from the beginning of the thread. See the film for yourself, judge it from your own mind. Never let ones opinion totally shape yours. Spike has his reasons for not seeing it and I respect him and those reasons.

Oh GOD, QT shytS on "ROOTS". SMH:
Quentin Tarantino: "Roots is inauthentic":
Now Tarantino is the recipient of the other raised eyebrow.
The fearless — some might say reckless — director says that Alex Haley’s “Roots” is “inauthentic.”
Yes, clutch your pearls and grab the smelling salts. “Roots,” that Black cultural touchstone that makes White Americans glance at their Black comrades with trepidation after BET plays it on repeat over the holidays, has been deemed “inauthentic” by white as the driven snow Tarantino.
“When you look at Roots, nothing about it rings true in the storytelling, and none of the performances ring true for me either,” said Tarantino. “I didn’t see it when it first came on, but when I did I couldn’t get over how oversimplified they made everything about that time. It didn’t move me because it claimed to be something it wasn’t.”
SMDH. So "Roots is Inauthetic" but a Slave Revenge Movie with a Slave with a Shape Up Is?. He probably should just shut up cause the movie is making money at the box office. This doesn't help. Say what you will but "Roots" and the opening of "Amistad" are the best protrayals of Slavery on film thus far. "Roots", "Roots The Next Generation" and "Queen" with Halle Barry are all Legendary in the Black Community. What is he talking about "Inauthentic".

Yup. Doesn't surprise me one bit that this demonic racist QT speaks out against one of the most celebrated movies dealing with slavery and racism in America as being "inauthentic", meanwhile he markets this blacksploitation koonery aka Django as some sort of powerful pro-black biopic. The dude is a fukking clown.
