You've revealed enough to indicate that you ought to do a little more searching.

If it really is ridiculous now, I'm glad of that. It certainly wasn't ridiculous in the 50's to 70's when I was growing up in Chicago. There were white neighborhoods and black neighborhoods, and it was taking your life in your hands to be in the wrong place.

Black people have lived in Park Forest since the 1960s. There's even a sign on Monee Road in Park Forest that says something about celebrating our history of diversity..

did Jamie Foxx also include those two words in his movie?
Django was an excellent movie, IMO. It's a shame that some people want it to be 'politically correct'. Things were what they were at that time. Slaveowners were brutal people who raped, tortured, killed and exploited their slaves.

How can any person(especially black) not like a movie where the slave was freed, became a bountry hunter and got to kill slave owners en masse? He also got to ride away in the sunset with his love.

It's bad form to give away the ending of a picture in an online discussion. At the least one should give what's called a "spoiler alert" before doing so.
