"{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;\"&lt;strong&gt;Django Unchained&lt;/strong&gt;\" is NOT a movie that's based in reality ... and should NEVER be compared to real depictions of slavery like \"&lt;strong&gt;Roots&lt;/strong&gt;\" ... so says &lt;strong&gt;LeVar Burton&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LeVar -- who played &lt;strong&gt;Kunta Kinte&lt;/strong&gt; in the 1977 miniseries -- was in New York yesterday to participate in a PBS special about important TV programs ... when we asked him about comparisons between \"Roots\" and \"Django.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br dir=\"ltr\" id=\"tinymce\" class=\"mceContentBody \" contenteditable=\"true\" /&gt;\"Here's what I want folks to understand,\" Burton said ... \"'Django' is a fantasy, it's not history ... 'Roots' is history ... and that's the difference.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Side note -- Our photog couldn't have been LESS articulate in delivering the question ... and as a consequence, the entire newsroom banned together to shame and taunt him without mercy."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
