C'mon man. You are not even here.

Although I don't agree that WW II shouldn't be remembered, in most cases these movies are way too pathetic to enjoy for those who have real interest in WW II, as they in most cases tend to paint heroes, victims and villains in very much one dimensional fashion and in most cases also spin and bend historical facts.

I'm regarding as one of the few exceptions for example:

One of my personal top 5 war movies, three out of which are German.

Racism will always be here.

this :thumbsup

good moments?
like what?
how does a movie depicting the inhumane brutality of american chattel slavery..................................have 'very good moments'

had you said 'powerful moments', I would've understood you

no one wants you to feel guilty
your sadness/guilt means nothing to anyone
The apathy that you probably feel when black people are profiled/denied equal opportunities/shot to death by the police for NOTHING/etc. is the problem. It perpetuates the inequality that slavery and segregation created in america.

Do any section of society still benefit from slavery?

Do any section of society still suffer from effects of slavery?

The only people who keep asking if they are racists are racists.

According to this study, there are an estimated 30 million people living in slavery worldwide. About 60,000 of them are here in the US.

I think it is safe to say there are still sections of society the suffer from slaver and sections that benefit from it.

Read the book. It is short. It is action packed. It is way better than the movie. Had the movie stuck more to the book it would have rocked.

Django is way much better!

Fitty slaves to the fitty :pimp

slavery money is old money, so there are definitely people in america who're better off, because of their ancestors past involvement in slavery. Millions of people taken from Africa were considered fit for slavery because they looked different. Religion and bullshit pseudoscience's were used to justify the institution. When slavery was 'abolished', through terrorism/fraud/outright racism black people were kept from ever becoming self sufficient. Every single time a black town began to prosper, white people rioted and destroyed all their progress(Tulsa Oklahoma, amongst others). For over 100 years after the 'end' of american slavery, all across the board black people were denied equal opportunities. In schools, the legal system, the job market, in housing, in politics, in just about every arena.

So if you can afford to think critically, and not like a fucking moron, you'll see that the answers to both of your questions is YES. I understand your ignorance, you seem to be from the UK, but the way you commented is typical of racists.
