I can’t for the life of me understand why you think Django Unchained is pro-slavery, and you give no reasons why I should.

Acidhedz,

Hopefully, you are not a history teacher anywhere, because clearly you are misguided, misinformed and down right ignorant about the facts of slave history, both World and American history.

Adam C. Spencer,

Obviously, you are not a man of color and therefore would have a very difficult time comprehending the true spirit and essence of my message to Black America. I don’t know you as a person, but this much I can tell you some of my best friends are white. Nonetheless, there are institutionalized systemics in place that do not serve in the best interest of Black America and it behooves all people of color to be aware and understand why things are the way they are.

Django Unchained serves as a perfect example of how Black America is being played like a piano and that it is now time to wake up to what is tantamount to 400 years of mind manipulation.

Maybe what’s worth wondering is whether the toys would have been pulled off had the offending subjects just been white and why for that matter the outlet knowing they risked infuriating the black community opted to go into production in the first place? Which raises the question maybe racism is very well and alive these days even by those who purportedly wish to expose it? Or is it just profit from it?

First off you are full of crap. “Chattel slavery
Chattel slavery, so named because people are treated as the personal property, chattels, of an owner and are bought and sold as commodities, is the original form of slavery.” Which means it’s as old as humanity. Since we are all supposed to have evolved out of Africa, YOUR people invented slavery. Deal with it.

I’m more than a little sick of black people walking around carrying an attitude with anyone white over slavery. Blacks were made slaves primarily during a 300 year period. Britain subjugated Ireland to one degree or another for around 800 years. At least a slave was considered to have value.

To one degree or another the Roman empire went about the business of enslaving, and/or subjugating most of Europe and Asia for around 1400 years.

Get over yourselves. The Atlantic slave trade was a blip, a short blip, in the history of people doing bad things to each other. You want something to write about, try writing about the BLACK African war lords who are raping, murdering, pillaging and mutilating anyone who dares defy them, NOW. Not a hundred years ago, NOW.

The past is gone. It’s moved on. So why don’t you get down off your cross and use the wood to build a bridge so you can get over it!

it’s funny how white america still goes by the Frederick Douglass motto “Power concedes nothing with out demand.” a shame black folk in america don’t subscribe to that motto.

I take issue with the main thrust of your complaint. How can you complain that this film doesn’t properly tell the other part of the story? Its completely invalid since this movies doesn’t show or claim to show any end of slavery whatsoever. In fact it both starts and ends before the Civil War ever begins.

Yet the backbone of your complaint is that the movie doesn’t address events that take place outside the timeline of the movie itself. In fact, despite this article supposedly being about your complaint with the movie, you quickly abandon the movie itself and turn this into a larger and completely off topic rant about the media in general where the white man goes on a 100 year campaign to rewrite history.

I’m a white guy from Colorado, and I’ve been tossed into black society on a few occasions, as a white minority. Once as a child in the early 70’s (southern Florida), once as a student in the late 80’s (Clearfield Utah, Jobcorps), and once as an employee in the late 90’s (Jackson Mississippi). It’s always been terrifying and usually riddled with extreme violence and racism. Maybe that’s the same way you feel. I don’t know. All I can say is that based on my experience I am glad to stay as far away from black society as humanly possible. I’m sorry, but those places where awful. I don’t know what the reasons are for why it is the way it is, but it is what it is. Because I’m just a working man I certainly couldn’t afford the security it would take to live safely in a black neighborhood. If that’s even possible, since eventually you have to leave your house for something. Most folks had bars on their windows like a jail. And, they weren’t there to keep the white people out as far as I could tell. That’s not who harassed me and it’s not who broke into the neighborhood houses to steal the money, guns, and even the neighbor’s dog. If there is a black community somewhere that is different than what I experienced I am unaware of it. Parts of Memphis seemed nice, but based on my past experiences I’m not likely to risk it. Murder is a crime you can only be a victim of once, so I’m going to stake my odds on a white community for the sake of own life and the more important lives of my wife and two children. From my very alien perspective, black people have a very serious problem. Frankly, I have no idea how you survive. It looks like to me that if your black and not tough as nails you won’t. Where I’m from the average white guy has a real good chance of not only surviving, but even getting ahead (a little). Down in Jackson Mississippi, I don’t know how the average black man can make it. If you’re not extraordinary, it seems like that environment would destroy you. The gangs, the hookers, the racism, the illiteracy, it’s all too much to overcome, unless you can shoot 3 pointers all day long, wax political like a Kennedy, or have the musical genius of B.B.King you get shredded like a calf in a river full or piranhas. Black piranhas. Most of the crime there was black on black or black on white. So from what I saw, your problem is your problem.
I’ve never been to this site before, and I’m not likely to return (I doubt I’m welcome), but I’m glad to see somebody taking your people’s condition seriously. The Rap-Music cult has done nothing but damage to your society and mine, and I’m glad to see it finds little favor here. You can label me a racist if you like. I honestly care only slightly. I am what I am. A white alien in your midst. You have my worth-little perspective.
