As far as your very valid points of the white guy selfishly ruining the black guys life.. this movie came out 36 years ago, so there’s that working against it. But doesn’t it kinda ring true? Ever heard of white people showing up to black protests, trying to support but end up instigating violence? What about in Django, the German guy selfishly takes action putting Django and his wife in an unnecessarily dangerous situation because he just doesn’t consider the black man’s experience enough.

I understand what you are saying. My point is they knew the character was shit written, so they didn’t bother hiring an actor and went with a pro wrestler instead. It’s more important that the character looks good throwing a punch than acting well because they are relying on the action more than the way the character is written.
