Nah'Sun You say you're not trying to offer a critique of it, you just aren't interested in seeing the movie......understood. However when you make statements like: "Seems like Hollywood loves seeing Black people in submissive and subordinate positions I'm not watching DJango on the strength that I'm tired of the theme that Blacks are subordinate or inferior to whites" "The plot of the movie doesn’t interest me…simple as that A superhero slave???" Not only are those critiques (you're actually criticizing the movie), but they are critiques based on erroneous assumptions. 1. Django wasn't an inferior Black man in a submissive role, he was the PROTAGONIST from the beginning to the end. 2. The plot of Django wasn't about a superhero slave, it was about an ex-slave turned hero...there's a big difference. Look, I'm not here to discuss the history of racism in cinema....... James Brown said WHAT-SEN-EVA reason you don't want to watch the movie, it's your business and you don't have to. But if you're going to make certain assertions about a movie, it would be wise to have atleast watched it first.

Have you noticed that most of what Obama has done in the past 5 years seems to benefit the Republicans and other right-wingers who hate him more than the people who actually voted for him and put him in office? Now, he came on television yesterday and introduced 23 executive orders. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/01/16/list-obamas-23-executive-actions-on-gun-violence/ And if you read them, NOT ONE of them actually bans any guns! They're all superficial orders that at best support laws that already exist and should have been enforced in the first place, but doesn't go any further than that. Those much talked about assault-weapons they said were a major part of the problem are still legal. And the high capacity clips are still legal and weren't even addressed in any of the executive orders. So as usual, he managed to further piss off and unite those on the right who don't trust or like him anyway while doing nothing to benefit his liberal supporters.
