Enterbay: Django Unchained

[Snake Plissken]

Al Sharpton is a joke to me, and I take nothing he says very seriously (same goes for most pandering ideologues). But I'm surprised Spike Lee would take such offense. Wouldn't surprise me if it went beyond the actual substance of the film and was more related to personal enmity with QT. I wonder if QT would get that same response from those guys if he wasn't a white guy. . .

I would be interested to hear the specific criticisms Lee is levying against him. Might google it one of these days. I personally didn't think Django was offensive at all. At least, no moreso than any other given QT film.

He's lower than roach droppings. He's been race baiting for years and gotten away with it. If you know his history, you would know all the slurs he's dropped on his own yet expects people to take his arguments seriously. MSNBC should be ashamed for employing that phony.

So apparently Lee didn't even see the film, which supports my idea that he's just full of **** and has some anti-QT agenda. Oh, well.

MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN aren't legitimate news channels. They are entertainment meant to appeal to specific demographics by selling their spin on the news (I had to stay home a couple of weeks ago and the uninterrupted courtroom coverages of the stupid Zimmerman shooting made me ill). From that POV, I don't really have an issue with it. If the folks who watch that stuff can't tell that it's all agenda-driven BS then that's their problem as I see it.

These reverends think very highly of themselves, have massive god complexes, usually have some mental issues and are usually massively under educated but will pass themselves off as intellectual.

How men such as these have as much sway as they do in America is beyond me.

Fox News isn't bias and is a real news station with no agenda at all. What are you talking about???!!!

Uneducated, ignorant, feeble minded people seem to follow those tools in droves. How any of these Revs make people buckle over anything is stunning.

Sharpton is actually very bright. But he's essentially nothing more than a high profile political advocate, pandering to his base. No country is immune from those people, be they more or less secular.

All news stations are Liberal aside from them, I don't know why they have to be vilified on a daily basis for being the only outlet for the Right.

It's ironic that Lee would be *****ing about how offensive this film is when his next film is Oldboy. I, personally, was fine with the original, a little disturbed by it, but fine with it, but there's some pretty ****ed up **** in there, and, from what I've heard, Lee doesn't skimp on it. I'd say that some of the stuff in there is, potentially, more offensive than anything in Django.

Some people really believe that. Same with MSNBC (which, to non-American members, is the left-leaning counterpart to Fox News).

Once you see that he made those comments without seeing the film, I think any legitimacy he would otherwise have goes out the window.

Oh, absolutely, but I know that I'd just love it if people jumped his **** over offensive content. Karma's a *****, and all that, you know?

 

[Snake Plissken]

It's too easy nowadays to cry foul over things people interpret that is racists toward Blacks. Most of the time, it's Whites doing it. The whole Paula Deen thing makes me sick, who cares what she said.

 

[batfan08]

I just think it's sad that this **** is even an issue. I see stuff like Celtic posted in The Sandbox, and it's just disgusting. We've made so many leaps toward being a more progressive society, and, while race relations have definitely improved over the years, it's still clearly an issue, and I hope that, one day, it ceases to be.

 

[Snake Plissken]

White Guilt is the main thing that keeps this country from moving forward in my opinion.

 

[batfan08]

I think Morgan Freeman said it best when he said that the best way to solve the race problem is to "stop talking about it."

 

[Xenu]

Yeah, everyone is mixed so race should not be an issue, just wanted these toys badly

None more so that the US however!

All news stations are Liberal aside from them, I don't know why they have to be vilified on a daily basis for being the only outlet for the Right.

Ahhhh but they play themselves as non bias. This is their slogan.

If they weren't bias then they would occasionally say good things about Obama.
They never say anything good about Obama which means they are bias.

What you think as Liberal media, is just media. But it's easier to label something as Liberal when you don't agree with their reporting of facts. Fox news doesn't do facts, it does opinion and fear mongering!

By the way, what do you think the word Liberal means? Have a think about that and do some Fox News fact checking while you are at it!

No need to troll here.

What is there good to say? The other news stations have coddled him for 5 years now.
