Did any African Americans see Django Unchained?

Yeah, saw it yesterday. I enjoyed it,didn't find it to be disrespectful in any way and my friend enjoyed it as well and she didn't know what to expect. Spike is wrong in this case, it's kind of ignorant to criticize a movie that you haven't even seen yet. Oh well, I doubt Tarantino is losing any sleep over this. Tell the truth I had no intentions on seeing the movie until I heard about all the controversy surrounding it so Spike's little boycott rant is probably helping the film more than hurting it.

Not yet. I'm dying to see it. Spike Lee is a moron. The Jews didn't boycott Inglorious Bastards (I'm also Jewish along with being black), even though highly inaccurate it was entertaining and how WWII should have ended, with a bunch dead SS and Hitler by a Gang of Jews led by Brad Pitt. Also Nazis are forever branded. So what if Django Unchained is inaccurate, does it make it any less meaning full? The bad guy gets what's coming to them in the end.

Many African Americans saw the movie. The point of the movie was not to educate the audience on slave life, rather to entertain the audience with a story. I don't think it's fair to be disrespected if the treatments of slaves was accurate. It was represented well, and really showed how harsh the conditions were.

I have an African American friend who saw it, and recommended it to me. She also told me of The Spike Lee comments. She said she really liked the movie and was not offended by it.

it wasnt meant to be remotely educational... it was meant to be an over the top flick as historically real as the movie 300 with slave owners like inglorious basterds was with nazis,

come on its a quentin tarantino movie...its a pure entertainment flick, and THAT is where the "criticism" is really coming from... black people like to pretend to be making "social commentaries" as they make money with there own nonsense along racial lines.

you know the kind of often asked question that black people dont like to hear..... why can black comdians do this while white comedians cant?

its along those lines... with this movie you basically have the topic of slavery, the n-word tossed around like no tomorrow,. and the salaries of the actors notwithstanding... a bunch of white people making money of it.

you will notice after all... Spike lee didnt have a problem with jamie fox on SNL prattling about killing all the white people....that bit is a-ok.

see how that works?

@forever alone

why would jews have boycotted it? putting aside seeing a fantasy on film... who do you think the executive producers were for that movie... and this movie too lol.

If they bring this film to South Korean theatres, I will spoil the Korean viewers fun in the theatre by making all sourts of noise to protest the violence and disrespect against out black people. I will make everybody angry for having their fun watching that film. And I think Hollywood should be nuked.
