Django Unchained

In Tarantino’s “Django Unchained,” Jamie Foxx plays, Django, an African American slave. Django ends up working side-by-side with Dr. King Schultz, a German Dr. played by Christoph Waltz. Django is presented as a hard man; tough and gritty. Django's character is also kind and full of fire. This movie took place during the pique of plantation slavery days, and Django has seen the most horrible things that world has to offer. Django’s character is an extremely bright man, picking up and excelling at all of the skills taught to him by Dr. Schultz rapidly. There are many twists and turns along the way, but Django ultimately goes on a killing spree of every oppressive white person in sight. Django doesn’t just escape the white oppression; he defeats it.

Samantha White in Dear White People had the same kind of passion and fight that Django had. It is very clear to Sam who her oppressors are, and she will not stand for it. I think that in the end Sam wins too. She exposed the uncomfortable truth that racism is still rampant in American society, using her campus radio station as her medium, and she caused a disruption in the status quo. Sam put herself out there, and it was dangerous. But Samantha was brave, and she wasn’t afraid to stand up and fight against the oppressing powers.
