I didn't like the wild black slave having to be tamed by his white teacher aspect of the film.
that's the MO from Amistad, Lincoln, and now this film. blacks never played a major role in their own freedom without the help of some white man giving it to them. blacks fought for the own freedom to

the movie is doing just that for some which is why I appreciate the film. Its sad to say but Rap, we might get what we want because of this film (can't wait for 12yrs a slave to come out). This film hit a lot of cacs in the mouth & they really can't believe that it was this ill. I've ran across several reviews and tried to drop more sources of knowledge for the people to read that's interested. I think this film put a foot in the door for us to discuss this stuff.
while she still has a lot to learn, she is atleast headed in the right direction.

GROUP TO PROTEST DJANGO DOLLS AT GOLDEN GLOBES:
Najee Ali, NAN and Others to Protest ‘Django’ Slave Dolls at Golden Globes
A movie and TV award show like the Golden Globes isn’t where you would normally find protestors. But, according to Najee Ali, Director of Project Islamic Hope, this Sunday, outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the site of the Golden Globes, is where he, the LA chapter of the National Action Network and other community activists will be posted up.
Why, you ask? Because the powers that be behind the “Django Unchained” action figures (Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino) will be there.
Yep, the film, “Django Unchained,” is nominated for several awards (best picture, best director, best supporting actor) at Sunday’s event. and as far as Ali is concerned, it’s the perfect location to stage the protest. He also details why he and other folks have a problem with what are now being called “Slave dolls.” “Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein are responsible for the creation and launch of the ‘Django Unchained slave dolls.’ “These dolls help trivialize and make light of the true horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Millions of my ancestors died during slavery,” said Ali in a statement to EURweb.
“Tarantino and Weinstein are making a financial profit off the blood of my ancestors. They would never dare to sell a Hitler or holocaust survivor doll because the Jewish community would not allow and accept it. The African- American community must have the same resolve to defend the legacy of our ancestors. Slavery is not a doll that comes with accessories.”
“The Los Angeles chapter of the National Action Network is in full support of the rally. We want these dolls pulled from the market. We’re not going to let Tarantino or Weinstein rest until our demands or met,” Stated Rev K.W. Tulloss, President of the L.A.chapter of the National Action Network.
What: Project Islamic HOPE and a coalition of African-American civil rights groups will launch a rally at this year’s Golden Globes awards ceremony in protest of the of “Django Unchained” slave dolls.
Where: Beverly Hilton Hotel 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
When: Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013
Time: 3:00 pm
Sponsors include: Project Islamic HOPE, the L.A.Chapter of the National Action Network, Weller Baptist church. The Compton branch of the NAACP.

The "White Savoir" plot device is very strong in Hollywood formulas. QT did try to give Django some shine in those last 20 minutes but the weight of the movie he needed to be guided to victory. "Amistad" actually did a great job in the beginning showing the brutality of Slavery during the actual travel here but once it got to the Court Drama the White Savior complex came in.
"Lincoln" dealt with it more from a political aspect, the movie left out some things but I thought it was a powerful portrayal of what Lincoln had to go through to get Slavery passed and end the War. Mind you they ended up blowing his brains out. You think they would of killed Lincoln if he didn't free the slaves? Doubtful.

Your girl loves em....
didn't watch all of it but kike is american slur for jews not a german one. i've heard characters in qt movies call people spics, chinks, and wetbacks. it's been awhile but i think ving rhames calls someone a cracker in pulp fiction. i'll watch the rest tomorrow.
I'm quite sure every color of person has said some racial slur in a QT flick. the movie would be pretty fake if all those racist whites in the 1850's weren't running around saying ****** all day. What did they expect?
