Daily Mail ^ | Dec. 12, 2012 | Meghan Keneally

Django Unchained set in pre-Civil War Texas and pits a former slave against his tormentors when he becomes a bounty hunter

Early reviews of the film claim the n-word is used frequently by black and white characters, but the level of violence is even more disturbing

Not the first time that Tarantino has gotten in trouble for use of racial slur In his 1997 film Jackie Brown, the n-word was used 38 times

that is the demographic they are playing to.

This must be a modern version of the “Q. T. Tan.”

Personally, I think Tarantino is an evil genius.

He is one of my favorite directors, and Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies.

However, I think I am going to pass on this one. I cannot stomach Jamie Foxx.

I guess the historical impossibility of a black bounty hunter in Texas going after white men doesn’t matter to anyone.

A black man with a gun would have brought every white Texan for miles to the lynching party.

Photobucket If I put a K in front of the N-word..... Does that mean it is no longer the N-word and I can use it? If I drink a bottle of Listerine, Will my farts be minty fresh? I need answers people!

I just watched the trailer. It looks like a stupid movie and a waste of time. Besides, Fox is an Obama boy.

I suppose Hollywood will rush right out to get the Turner Diaries on the big screen next, if they like controversy so much.

My impression is that this movie was intended primarily to stir up more racial animosity and most likely will.

I enjoy violence in novels and movies if it is properly used—i.e., in accordance with some moral point.

The most violent movie (by far) that I've seen lately is "Death Sentence" starring (believe it or not) Kevin Bacon. I can only say that in that movie he was "more Bronson than Bronson"!

Nothing could be more wrong.

Black Cowboys

It is an unfamiliar part of the history of the old wild west to most, but there were actually about 10,000 to 15,000 black cowboys in the late 1860's and onwards. These men actually held quite a significant place in this part of history, after the Civil War, many of the freed slaves moved west to make a new life.

They worked on ranches and in cattle drives, and also rode in the many rodeos. Some of them joined the cavalry where they were known as Buffalo Soldiers and they brought back much needed meat and hides to resupply many of the stores.

A black man with a gun would have brought every white Texan for miles to the lynching party.


It's pretty funny that you think it's some new thing for westerns to be wildly beyond historical reality too.

One word: Boycott.

Two words: Sticks. Stones.

Yeah but we’re talking pre-Civil war Texas.
Three words: John Wesley Hardin. The first man he killed, at age 15, was a black man who beat him wrestling in Polk county, after the war. Despite killing anywhere from 20-40 men, after getting out of prison he tried to practice law, though not very well. OK.

The closest thing I can imagine to the plot of this movie is Tarantino himself driving around Houston, dressed in drag, behind the wheel of a pink Land Rover with ‘Save The Whales’, ‘Rainbow Power’ and similar bumper stickers, and blasting pickup trucks from behind with a semi-horn from JC Whitney.
Another Quenton cartoon with almost lifelike characters.
