FTA:...desire to save her from her slave masters struck a cord (sic)...

"cord"???? And this guy has a doctorate???

Django Foxx's intemperate remarks on this film ("got to kill all the white people") and his blasphemous remarks as regards Obama makes him and his work dead to me.

Oh why doesn’t he just tell the truth instead of slinging this crap! He likes the movie because it has a BLACK hero killing WHITE people! Just the kind of movie we need to De-emphasize our differences and bring us together as a people. I for one will just ad this to the list of Hollywood crap created by Hollywood elitist idiots.

Who really cares about Spike Lee? What a non-story and waist of effort.

The movie is in bad taste. We are on the verge of a racial war in our country. Blacks are already senselessly angry and are taking out their rage on everyone. Adding fuel to the fire is irresponsible.

If or when this whole thing explodes, the Democrats, Torintino, Foxx and the rest of the racial hustlers will have as much blood on their hands as the people in the streets.

A slave cost $150,000 adjusted for inflation. Most slave owners took out life insurance policies on their slaves. Why would insurance companies insure slaves if the slave owners were going to abuse and starve them to death. It would be like a farmer buying as John Deer Combine and beating it with a baseball bat and running it without maintenance and destroying it, that just doesn’t make sense.

A rhetoric question at best

BUT

Would there be such an eloquent(??) review if it had Buford running amok and mowing down the slaves then have the actor get on a couple of National TV shows commenting how much fun he had making the movie and saying “I killed every black I saw”, “HOW WHITE IS THAT”

Somehow, I don’t think so.

Spike Lee just thinks no one but him should be making movies about black people.

“There was a legitimate African American hero: Django, played by Jamie Foxx, is one of the few serious black heroes ever produced by Hollywood, a place that tends to put black people in a really degrading box.”

=

Huh?

I guess the last movie this idiot saw was “Gone With the Wind.”

Appreciate your viewpoint. I was hedging about whether to see it but think I will. I like much of Tarentinos work. Over the top with absolutely no regard for political correctness. Uninhibited adolescence. I don’t sense a lefty political tilt. More of an unleashed comic book store nerd who wants to make wild movies to satisfy himself. To be honest I liked Inglorious Bastards too. For that matter I liked A Clockwork Orange by Kubrick too. Another violent movie with an anti-hero. Anyway, Tarentino isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, my wife hates him, but I don’t believe he is a sanctimonious left-winger either. With tax hikes, gun confiscation, and Obama’s attempt to destroy our economy, this is pretty small change.

Pathetic.

1) Jamie Foxx, is one of the few serious black heroes ever produced by Hollywood.

Nonsense. Blacks are rarely cast as villains in the Hollywood films I've seen over the years.

2) It had a beautiful portrayal of black love: ...We live in a world where love and marriage are consistently replaced by abuse, addiction and baby mama drama

A relic of the past? I guess hooded, biotch-beating gangstas aren't that appealing in the "slave theme". Is the beautiful portrayal of Black love too much for today; is it too much like Whitey love?

3) An in-your-face portrayal of slavery: Most of us are given the polite story about slavery

A true portrayal should cause Blacks to change their party affiliation to Republican.


Was it the professor's intention to romanticize the days of slavery as the unrivaled moment of achievement and honor for Blacks in American history? An odd, but interesting commentary on the modern state of the Black community.

Dr. Boyce seems to miss the irony that yet AGAIN a white man (Tarentino) saves the black man. A movie only a white man could make...

Whaddya'expect? Boyce Watkins is a gibbering racialist chickenshit. Read his own words, and prepare to vomit. Don't waste my time otherwise.

This film, to the extent that it is historically accurate, probably mortified many of the people in the audience by showing the depths of dehumanization that took place during the greatest holocaust in American history.

Sorry dude, but the biggest holocaust (I refuse to say 'greatest') in American history started in 1973 with Roe vs Wade and is still ongoing.

Let's see Quentin Tarantino do a movie about that.

It’s racist. The star is a racist “joking” about killing all the white people. Don’t watch it. Put the radical left’s race hate and baiting out of business. Black racism is as violent and disgusting as any white racism we have seen in the US.

I'm really tired of Lefties blaming the whites such as my ancestors who gave their lives for the North in the Civil War the same as the Democrats who owned virtually all the slaves.

Save the 'kill all of them' crap for Africa, where it belongs. I'm not going to pay anything to watch this movie.
