RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: Sharing a movie critique, if youhave not seen the movie, "Django"

Well that was one of the quotes from the review that drew my attention.

I saw the movie. Spike Lee was very right in his
criticism of the over use of the 'n' word. You got the feeling that the white actors really enjoyed
spewing this out over and over again. They in turn would argue that they were simply acting out reality.

I thought the reviewer was a bit hard on Samuel Jackson by suggesting that he was playing himself.
Samuel Jackson is no Uncle Tom. He also suggests that Tarantino is a racist, without substantiating the
claim. I found that the film narrative actually showed him challenging hard core racism, at least
and that is no easy task.

But this reviewer is no naive, innocent apologist. I actually learnt a lot from this review - even though
I disagree with some of the conclusions.

Amen, my wonderful sister Gloria! I pray that the blind Negro supporters of the BOZO will soon smell the proverbial coffee and stop making lame excuses for him. The guy is no good for Afrikans on the Motherland and in the Diaspora. His has been a record of butchering, insults, and marginalization of our people.
