Long but very amazing Read. Felt like Jesse was reading this thread with some of his points. Props to him for this great breakdown. Just so people know Jesse basically says Django Trivializes Slavery. Something many of us in this thread have said.

then there's a lot of posters here who like to hide behind their username that aren't black but feel their opinion is somehow valid

so basically this article is saying that people will look at this movie and see a case of slavery that isn't "truth" or "historically accurate"? well if your dumb fukking ass needs to watch movies to learn about HISTORICAL FACTS then well you fukkin lost at life.

was there this much outrage over inglorious basterds? that shyt wasn't historically accurate in the LEAST.


i still just look at this as a MOVIE and nothing more. i NEVER ONCE THOUGHT "oh man i'm gonna learn so much and gain so much historical perspective from this movie! "

The point isn't about the film but the reaction that dumbfukks, Taratino included, have tried to attribute to this movie. They have made this a movie that is supposed to be positive for black people and a proper portrayal of slavery.

If people were not attaching extra bullshyt to the film, then that article by Williams doesn't get written.

well that's OTHER dumb people attaching that shyt to the film. that shyt don't apply to me in one fukking way at all


how you could NOT understand how that shyt is an atrocity is beyond me. humans came from africa and the fact that ppl don't know this as a FACT is to me. the fact that ppl would even remotely consider taking this movie as FACT is to me. even if you're just talking about the setting or way leo acted as a slave owner. the fact that white ppl don't understand how enslaving a race for hundreds of years would hinder their overall capacity for achievement is to me.

if that makes me a c00n or racist or whatever because i don't see the problem with this movie then so be it. it's not my fault i have a thick skin for this shyt or the fact that i was educated and am not a god damn fukking retard.



edit: to sum up my feelings, if you are dumb enough to take a movie as historical fact (ANY MOVIE AT ALL), then you are in fact a fukking moron. the internet is there for a reason. do some god damn research.

You clearly didnt read his article because had explained the differences between Django and Inglorious. He attacks not only for its historical failing but for its characterization of Blacks. By the end of the article he accuses modern Americans of exploiting Blacks the same way Slavers did.

I'm not sure why this dicussion is still going but as a blackman I unopologitically was enoyed by "Django. for the most part...I think some people are bytching over nothing...Considering the setting the film wasn't blatantly disrespectufl toward blacks at all and a black hero came out as the victor over white oppressors..What's not to like?

If you don't get the points being made in that blog(which have also been made by several posters in this thread) then it's either because you're dimwitted or it's because you don't want to get them.

negroes getting upset over django and its portrayal of slavery, but what are yall really doing to heal the community from the effects of slavery? you act like this movie is interfering with you or any other black person fully processing and healing from slavery. yall wasnt thinking about slavery before django and you aint thought about slavery since you seen django. there may be a few exceptions but at least 95% of yall bytching are in no way shape or form involved in healing race relations in the US... so stop the bullshyt.

imo anytime the US has to come face to face with its ugly past, i love it. i love seeing media outlets try to tap dance around race as an issue, or the way just the mention of the word slavery causes people to become uncomfortable. and it should. because the US still has not even begun to acknowledge or make good for what they did to blacks. and they dont give a bucket of piss about the indigenous tribes either.

so our society being forced to see slavery is a small win.
getting people to be conscious about slavery, when before there was nothing, is a small win.
people talking about slavery and having discussions about its brutality and its implications, is a small win.
a freed slave outsmarting and killing a dozen slavemasters is definitely a muthafukkin win.
and black love is the biggest win of them all

but all yall wanna do is complain about the cot damn white man and how he's exploiting slavery. well guess what the white man is getting the most of yo ass too when you wake up at 7am and go to his job. sending your babies to get educated in his schools to get the same cot damn education that isnt teaching american children about slavery, which further perpetuates the culture of ignorance. so you been getting exploited by the white man ya whole damn life. again that may not be everybody, but its a solid majority.

yall betta wake up man... get money, build a strong foundation, help your peoples out, be a good person, that's it.







let the hating begin...

Yea but Tarantino claimed this would show what slavery was really like. Not saying people should trust him, but if he claims to "show what slavery was really like", then he should. Instead he used slavery as a backdrop for showcasing his black stereotypes and fetishes. The whole thing is pretty sick. Not sure why you are directing your anger at people who are upset with dude for not living up to his word
