Not huge, but yes there were some people offended by it. However, if you watch the actual movie, it's pretty obvious that they're making fun of Downie's character for doing something that is so offensive, not saying it's appropriate or something that should be done (same goes with Stiller's character for portraying the retard to win an award, they were making fun of Penn, Hanks, Gooding etc). But yeah, it was mostly overshadowed by the whole "retard" uproar.Nobody is old enough to remember why blackface is offensive. I never even knew about it until I started seeing internet warriors getting angry.
So was there a huge outrage over tropic thunder?
Us? I've never exterminated or sequestered anyone, and neither, I hope, have you.Us white people did, after all, pretty much exterminate their people and then sequester them off in to conclaves of rampant poverty, sexual abuse, chemical dependency, and suicide.
Which I totally get. But there's a huge difference between that, and a group of white girls dressing up as a set of TV characters and using makeup to change their skin tone where necessary to make the outfits more faithful. She's not wearing a black face costume, or a 'sexy ghettofabulous welfare queen' costume (which would be offensive even without the makeup), she's just using makeup to dress up as a character who happens to be black.As far as blackface goes: Blackface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It should be pretty fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain why Blackface costumes can be perceived as very offensive to black people.
thank god i am not white. i got japs to hate right now.Us white people did, after all, pretty much exterminate their people and then sequester them off in to conclaves of rampant poverty, sexual abuse, chemical dependency, and suicide.
I partially agree with you. I prefer that they be taken alive, but only so they can be tortured for as long as possible until they die a horrible and painful death.Suspects who surrender and/or taken alive after murdering people. That Colorado Joker fucker, and this LAX shooter.
You get to murder and spend millions of tax dollars. Awesome. /rustled
Thats what happens when our society is ran by tards. People who must certainly deserve the death penalty without a doubt dont get it but people who are convicted on shaky and contrived evidence get it.Suspects who surrender and/or taken alive after murdering people. That Colorado Joker fucker, and this LAX shooter.

I hate liberal PC bullshit too. When does one become "native" to a given area? 100 years? 200 years? 300? a few thousand? There have been white people on this continent for 400+ years now.Fuck em. If they let me know indian offends them, I'll switch to redskin, or savage, or chief wampum. 'Native American' kinda pisses me off. It insinuates that I'm somehow not a fucking native of America. Words mean things. I would accept descendants of original settlers, as long as I was allowed to shorten it to DOS, cause they're not worth wasting that much breath on.
Janeah and Janesah Goheen were as close as two sisters could be. The 17-year-old twins played music for their church in perfect harmony. Church members say they even finished each other's sentences. The fact that they'll never see each other again is almost impossible for those close to them to comprehend.
The two were on their way with a friend to celebrate Halloween in Seattle Thursday night. The crash happened along Highway 20 just outside Oak Harbor. An oncoming driver crossed the center line and hit the girls head on. The impact was so severe the girls had to be cut from their car. The state patrol says the driver who hit them was actually accelerating at the time.
Janeah died; Janessa was driving and somehow survived. She is in serious condition at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center.
If she would would spend half the time she does writing her master's thesis on why life as a fat person isn't fair as she did on getting her ass to the gym and cooking for herself, I bet she'd be successful in losing weight.Fatshaming post
