Noah Smith (who is white) saw “Django,” and loved it. “Not for the cartoonish violence (which was OK, nothing special) or for Tarantino’s trademark witty banter (which was a bit subdued),” he says, but for its politics. “I’m pretty sure that for all its elements of blaxploitation, Django’s politics are all about white people,” writes Smith. “It’s not a black revenge fantasy; it’s a white revenge fantasy.” Django isn’t black people’s story of slavery: it’s white people’s.
