Tarantino is degrading Slavery by comparing the two
Even if it's a milder form of slavery, it's still slavery.
selling drugs is a choice?
Yeah it is. A choice that both white people and black people make, even though black people are punished for it disproportionately in severity and numbers.
Hmmm...rounding up scores of young black males to put in chains and force to work for free. What does that remind you of?
Slaves didn't have personal choice.

Theres more blacks currently under some form of state supervision, then were ever enslaved before the civil war. America has the largest prison population in recorded human history.
while i agree slavery shouldnt be degraded, the situation today is very fukked up.
Taratino's statement was 100% accurate, i really dont plan on watching this movie though, just sounds too racist for me.
Run from the plantation and get killed. What kinda choice is that?
Rot in the ghetto for the rest of your life. What kinda choice is that?
So, what's the rule of this board? Take everything at face value when it comes from a Black man, even when it represents the most odious and opulent of a repressively unequal society's construction of reality, while turning the phrases of everyone else until they can be cast into a negative light, including Black women?
So what's your rule on it? Whites aren't allowed to make art about or have an opinion on the history of Blacks in America? Does that apply reciprocally? With other cultures substituted?
The cultural insiderism of some people on this board and in the world at large is just ignorant and embarrassing. Creating false problems by applying standards where they either apply less or don't apply at all.
Just ridiculous, honestly.
No there isn't
I'm not saying the situation today isn't bad it's deplorable on a number of levels.
Prove to me his statement his 100% accurate
The movies is a horrible idea artistically. If anything it will enflame the situation worse.
