This movie was incredible, and if there were any justice in the world, snotty little attention seekers who wanted to seem overly anti-racist would be set on fire in public. This is the same god damn crowd that never finds joy in a god damn thing because "they never told the part about X." If you came to Django for a history lesson, you're a ****ing idiot who doesn't deserve the freedom of speech the government affords you.

If you thought the guy who made Pulp Fiction was going to make a more historically accurate Roots, I don't know why you thought that. People talking about how unrealistic a movie is don't understand that movies aren't for educational purposes. Its primarily why movies aren't cited in academic papers 90% of the time. Its why they sell popcorn and beer at the movie threaters but not at the book store, its why you take dates to the movies and not to the ****ing library.

Jesus do I hate stupid ****ing people.

(Not directed at you, Pete)

I didn't agree with any of the racial components in that Cracked article, I did like the dry humor break-down of the plotholes that I remember thinking at the time.

All the backlash has been from the black community. Some believe slavery does not need to be re-told in the form of a spaghetti western. Fred's link is a new example of it.

I liked the movie, thought it was kick ass, but this doesn't seem to be one of those instances of white people being overly sensitive towards the portrayal of blacks.

Blacklash.

Err.... Anyway, plot holes/racist/Gorey or not, this is a great story with many memorably characters that I'll be remembering for a long time.

Well, I for one did not like this movie and I have yet to come across someone with a similar opinion.

Also, to whoever said it was only black people - get out of the house more.

So, here's my list of films he's done in the theme of "member of perceived victim group goes on morally righteous/revenge killing spree":

Death Proof (womens being the victims

)
Inglorious Basterds (teh Jews)
Django (teh blacks)

maybe white suburban kids is what big3 experiences outside his door

I've only encountered black people with issues with the content of the film if i may be honest.

Whomever said it was "only black people" must have made the mistake of talking about physical action against the film, not including user ramblings on some half-assed comedic page.

So you're saying only black people took physical action against the film? What does that mean, they punched the film? What is "physical action" and are you suggesting only white people left the assult against the film in the "marketplace of ideas?"

Cause what you're saying is bordering on the fairly stereotypical.

Physical action i meant getting merchandise removed from stores, boycotting screenings, celebrities going out of their way to speak publicly against the film.

I think you intentionally picked a term obscure enough that i have no clue what you mean really.

Again, I don't know how you only saw Black people as doing this but whatever, at least I know what you mean now.
