I have a dream that one day right there in Alabama, little black women will be able to join hands with little white women and get in free.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts money in the air, you better drop it low.

Just got of Skype with an old friend. Cool white guy that used to mix with us. Said he met the perfect girl but broke up with her because........she dated 3 black guys before him.
........wtf? This is actually a thing???
I remember some gaffer once said something like "I liked her so much but stopped once I found out she was a mudshark". Thought It was some kind of joke.
You guys ever seen this before? Guys that won't touch a girl if she's been with a black guy?

god help a single white momma w/ a black kid. they're even more done.
Yeah some dudes get a weird hangup about that. But on the flipside I think they are mandingo porn's biggest audience.
Grammar is not what hot on the streets.
I've heard of it before, just racist shitlords.
Damn the south is fucking up with those photoshop club posters of trayvon and MLK
Oh yea.
I know a lot won't say it but you can feel a sort of "tension" from some guys about it. It's not a lot of dudes that are like that but some you can tell it gets under there skin.

It's worst when it's someone you thought was cool. Like some CIA sleeper agent hypnosis trigger-word stuff.
Funny you mention that. I just heard today about a friend of mine who's a single white mom with a mixed kid who has been living in Oklahoma. She her son, about 10-11 (black, but really light skinned) was with his friends and one of them asked if he was at all black. He said yeah and they asked him if they could call him "Sambo."
She didn't know who Sambo was until she mentioned it to my folks. She was really pissed and said she wants to move out of the state now.
Give her Dark Faze's number, he can save her.

I can't understand why this would upset someone, clearly this chick has a good career/financial situation and wouldn't mind driving me around. Win-win.

This is a female that wants to crush her father's hopes and dreams, so she exclusively dates black men and makes a lot of noise when accomodating the licorice stick. This type of chick either winds up dead, or with five oreo cookies and welfare money, which the fathers will spend on additional booze, whores, and drugs. It is a vicious cycle.
Like I said, this is one of the greatest definitions for anything, ever.

Haha I remember that. Could not believe it.
What did Sharpton have to say about that episode? No way he could be mad about the message.

I'm going to try and make this quick. I had a lot of thoughts during the movie so I apologize if this post seems all over the place.
- Saw it with a predominantly white crowd. (packed screening, like 4 black people not including me and my brothers)
- QT peppered a lot of the N-words with jokes (many un-needed but slave times so OK), but there were a lot that weren't seasoned to be digestible, yet the crowd laughed nearly every time. Crowd cracked up when the screen showed black people in chains. I had to stare at the screen to find something funny. There was none. Just black people in chains trudging through mud. Yes people racism is dead!
- I thought the movie was a good popcorn flick, but as a revenge flick it was bad, and even worse as a movie that delves into the topic of slavery.
- Don't get me started on the KKK scene
- There weren't any slave owners that were made to be REALLY hated except the Bittle brothers - and they were killed in the beginning. The rest of the film they killed racists and slave owners without even showing how ruthless these people were -- and even when they introduced one that was supposed to be a terrible man he was offset by two very disturbing things:
Dicaprio was a loveable/charming slave owner.
SLJ was worse than Dicaprio
Now these may not seem like a big deal but they are very insidious in nature. The man the movie MAKES you hate isn't all the slave owners, it isn't DiCaprio but SLJ's character. (He was even going to let Django and Schultz go; although racist, he was a man of his word who didn't like being lied to. He simply just made Schultz pay what he originally was going to. Not a bad guy right? Right)
In a revenge movie about killing white slave owners the black man's final triumph isn't over a white slave owner, it's over a house n*****-- he doesn't even get to kill the "worse" slave owner in the south (Mr. Candie), Schultz does, a white man! No, the final enemy in this revenge movie is a black man, albeit an uncle Tom, they still made the black man the prime hated, despicable enemy. No one liked SLJ. Mr. Candie, a supposedly terrible and ruthless slave owner had to argue with his servant Stephen to even let them in the house, and be treated well.
As soon as they showed SLJ I whispered to my brother, "Notice how they make the most hated character a black man..."
Compare this movie to Inglorious Basterds, a very similar revenge flick -- except for it actually felt like a revenge flick. A bunch of Jews killing "Nahzis" in very brutal ways and at the end they exploded Hitler's head. I'm not Jewish but it seemd very cathartic and infinitely satisfying. Imagine if they didn't kill Hitler (since he did kill himself IRL) but instead they killed a Jewish guy. This movie? A copout. No, it didn't feel satisfying at all - and out of all the over the top violence in the movie, he simply shoots Stephen (SLJ) in the legs and blows up the house.
The scene where Schultz killed DiCaprio made no sense, and was just the setup to actually have the black man be the main villain. The white man was so upset about injustice that he killed another white man in cold blood without regard for the shotgun aimed at Django or Broomhilda.
And don't tell me this was an analyses on black people being their own worst enemy. Black people are treated poorly by black people because America tells EVERYONE to treat black people bad, not just the majority but minorities as well. Just look at the famous white/black doll beauty experiment. Black people are learning the same prejudices that most Americans do. I wouldn't give QT that much credit anyway

In all I think QT made a terrible mistake. A subject as sensitive, clouded and sometimes outright ignored should have been handled differently.
There's a lot of things I missed but this should give you a feeling on how I felt.
