[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 2061573, member: 17977"] I agree about the two holocausts but it hasn't ignited as much slavery talk as I think he wishes. White Americans lead by Andrew Jackson forced Native Americans West and slaughtered those who opposed them, while at the same time forced Africans to work themselves to death literally and often tortured and sexually abused them along the way. The numbers weren't as high as Hitler's allegedly were but nonetheless it's still a holocaust. Asian immigrants were used the same way to build rail roads and mine gold, nearly the same amount as Africans were but you don't hear much about that. That was sooooo long ago right? Wrong. Merely hundreds of years ago. White America has gotten off pretty easily all things considered, Tarantino has a very valid point. As extreme as his movie was at times, that was a daily occurrence then. So why not give Black Americans a folk hero? Did it cause a revolt or another riot? No. No harm done. [/QUOTE]
