The movie Django Unchained My Thoughts!!!!

Hello everyone I have just seen the movie "Django Unchained" and I am giving my opinion on it. I will say I enjoyed the movie but I looked at it as just that "a movie". I am more into documentaries since to me there's more fact in them than movies. I see what Tarentino was trying to do, make slavery in the 1800's as real as he could by incessant use of the word"Nigger" in the movie. That's what white people have used among with many other words to degrade us for centuries. Samuel L Jackson's character was real of the "House Nigger" back in those days. I read a piece from the Huffington Post that a former classmate of mine provided. I agree with the article wholeheartedly, the point is the part about white Hollywood trying to tell us what our history is. It's always been that way, whites want to dictate things to us African Americans on their terms only. Hence this is why racism and prejudice will never go away in this country. It was a well written article, but African Americans have to realize we have been brainwashed for centuries by the white man. We have adopted his ways and are a lost tribe, that part of the Nation of Islam I agree with, but I strongly disagree with the other parts of their Cult. The revenge part of this movie I was actually sitting there happy Django was killing those white guys for money. Yes, African Americans do want to kill and have revenge to Caucasians for what their ancestors have done to us. And any White person that says they were not involved with slavery, of course not but you have profited from it. The economic part of slavery the majority of white folks have profited from it over generation after generation, after generation. As African Americans the only revenge we can get on white folks is by educationally(the falls history taught in schools), economically, and educating ourselves as much as possible on OUR HISTORY!!!!!!! I am not saying hate all white folks because that would not be right, but we need to be aware of OUR HISTORY and stop fighting each other. So for me this movie brought out a lot of emotions in me and had some humorous parts believe it or not. To conclude I am glad I went to see it, also Spike Lee may have inadvertently encouraged other folks to go see it. I will take comments for or against what I have typed. This is my rant for today, God Bless everyone and Peace to The Creatures.
