Re: Why Django Unchained was PURE Bullshit - every black person with DVD should toss
what I meant by that statement was from the way QT explained the story in interviews and from the way people defend it in threads makes it seem like Django Unchained could have ONLY went down the way he did it.
Particularly how it opened...a nice white man buying Django and giving him his freedom vs him being an escaped slave. The nice white man not only enabling him but offering up plans and schemes rather than Django making deals with him to keep him around so that he can do what he has to. That Django couldn't operate on his own for the most part because it was south and he was born into slavery so he doesn't know any better UNTIL a nice white man comes along.
That article I clipped says that an irishman helped Dennis get out of Raleigh. But they may not have stayed together after that MAYBE Dennis is acting on his own going from town to town posing as freeman and ditch digger there was no CSI or reliable investigation service back then. The slave owner says he's very intelligent and Dennis has been gone for 5 YEARS does that strike anyone as a person who couldn't make shit happen until some white man does it for him?
My point is Django doesn't show TRUE black empowerment until its well established that a nice white man has fully enabled him to be able to anything he does. Thats done so that white audiences aren't totally put off by seeing an intelligent, thinking black man from the beginning kicking ass and working his way around to getting his wife on his own accord. And the people who have an issue with the film (Will Smith, Jeffrey Wright etc) recognize that as a fundamental flaw in the story..so what he kills a bunch of white in the end he pretty much does it with permission and only after a good white man has totally enabled him to be ABLE to do it. I'm just trying to show black people that we have to more of a critical eye when it comes to stories about our history whether its fact or fiction. The reality is people get their sense of history and self worth from fiction more than fact any way. The fact that most blacks either couldn't or refuse to pick up on the subverted black heroism in the film and fully support it HAPPILY with their dollars shows that.
You got niggas than will tell you in 15 levels deep why a Tyler Perry film is bad for the black community yet suck 20 miles of Tarantino's dick when he actually is even worse than perry has ever been in terms of negative black messaging and imagery in so many more ways.
Like I always say, anyone who goes to the movie theater for Real History is an idiot.....
If your interest is real history, read a book.
Django was a fictional movie that was quite entertaining for those of us knew our Real History way before the movie; and loved seeing Django fuck up those CAC's who would have placed ads exactly like the one you posted.....
