re: Just got back from seeing Django Unchained

I like the analysis of Stephen's character.

It was apparent at Django's arrival that he was suspicious, envious, and antagonistic towards Django because he couldn't handle another black man surpassing his own social status in southern white society, of which he had worked so hard all his life to establish.

He believed he was the one in 10,000 slaves and wouldn't stand (pun intended) to have Django come in and show him up.

I also find it noteworthy the way Stephen mourned the death of his master, proving the duplicitous side of him was not a charade but more likely genuine.
