This will attract extremists and certainly generate anger among the Black community!
This morning on The Drudge Report. Another attack on Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson and of course President Barack Obama. The gay conservative agitator post a link from The Hollywood Reporter about the new movie Django Unchained.
Quentin Tarantino's movie is an upcoming western film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. The film is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2012 in North America.
Most of these actors have donated to President Barack Obama.
How far is too far?
Conservatives are upset over a movie that depicts a slave turned into a bounty hunter. Django (Foxx), a freed slave who treks across America with Dr. King Schultz (Waltz), a bounty hunter. The character Foxx is suppose to play is seeking revenge on his White master. The character Kerry Washington is playing is going to be the wife of Django and the lover of the master.
The controversy and phony outrage started when Jamie Foxx said at the Soul Train Music Awards that President Barack Obama is "our lord and savior". Conservative gotten into more outrage when Foxx made his "how Black is that", and "I get to kill White people" joke on Saturday Night Live (SNL). It made it through the conservative echo chamber.
The Hollywood Reporter reviewer Todd McCarthy wrote that given the historical setting, the N-word gets a heavy workout, by whites and blacks alike. But much more forceful is the cruelty dispensed by the Southern whites, both as punishment and whim; attack dogs are unleashed on one man, Mandingo fighters (in a homage to the unforgettable 1975 Mandingo) battle to the death in a beautifully appointed drawing room for the wealthy’s amusement, a woman is locked naked in a metal “hot box,” genital mutilation is arranged for a man and much more.
Quentin Tarantino's film makes a point of pushing the savagery of slavery to the forefront but does so in a way that rather amazingly dovetails with the heightened historical, stylistic and comic sensibilities at play.
Tarantino injects the weighty material with so many jocular, startling and unexpected touches that it’s constantly stimulating. A stellar cast and strong action and comedy elements will attract a good-sized audience internationally, though distaste for the subject matter and the irreverent take on a tragic subject might make some prospective viewers hesitate.
Tarantino’s affinity for black culture and interest in the ways blacks and whites relate have always been evident, but they've never before been front and center to the extent that they are in Django Unchained. Some might object to the writer-director’s tone, historical liberties, comic japes or other issues, but there can be no question who gets the shaft here: This is a story of justifiable vengeance, pure and simple, and no paleface is spared, even the good German who facilitates a slave’s transformation into a take-no-prisoners hunter of whites who trade in black flesh.

This is another reason to why Republicans are doomed for failure. The Drudge Report has based the whole year on asinine behavior. Matt Drudge, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and the late Andrew Breitbart based the whole year on racial stories.
I have seen it and I'm annoyed.
I don't see the purpose of these guys even existing on this type of nonsense! They continuously riling up a base that could inflict harm upon the masses. The Republican Party's strongest segment of society is the angry White guy! They've gotten their butts kicked in the election! They want to take their frustration on the Blacks, Hispanics, and other groups.
The movie is fiction and yet they're upset over it!
They haven't seen Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles. A comedy masterpiece with the racial slur uttered many times. Various stereotypes of Whites, Jews and of course Blacks. The famous phrase uttered by Cleavon Little saying "Where The White Women At?"
They haven't heard a Paul Mooney skit? Mooney is the king of slang and racial bravado!
They haven't seen Kentucky Fried Movie!
They haven't seen Die Hard With A Vengeance!
They haven't seen Falling Down!
They haven't seen The Boondocks!
