Spike didn't object to QT making Django because he's White or non Black. He specifically objected to the original script of the film which trivialized slavery and was a blaxploitation/sexploitation/Italian western.
QT himself was convinced to tone down some of the sensational and exploitative elements of the original script...and altered it.
on this page....
http://www.reggiesworld.com/there is a Q&A with Django producer Reginald Hudlin where the original script comes up.
QT, like Howard Stern has visible contempt for Black people...as the scripts of his films are peppered with racial slurs. If you look up his story....he was one of the last white kids in his neighborhood as it became more Black. so.......certain that he has pent up feelings that come out in his scripts.
Spike took objection to QT with his history and tendencies , and his original script....getting the greenlight to do the film.......not just because a white person was doing the film.
============
I found it interesting though, that racial slurs towards Blacks predictably (and historically accurately) show up a lot in Django, but in QT's film set in NAZI occupied France...none of the German slurs towards jews appear in script ....outside of the opening scene....and even though several characters were Nazis in WW2 Europe.
