Samuel L. jackson plays a house slave so he would have had a bit more freedom than the other slaves. He had a close relationship with Candie, but it definitely wasn't an equal one. It was quite clear that he was supposed to represent an 'Uncle Tom'.
Django was really the only black character that acts as an equal. Though he is the only one outside the slave system.
