The controversial "Django Unchained" action figures have been taken off the shelves after African American groups called for them to be boycotted for "trivializing slavery." Al Sharpton's National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope were both involved in the effort to stop production of the figures, which caught the attention of the Weinstein Company, which produced the film.
The toy company agreed with Weinstein and took the toys from the shelves, telling TMZ they never intended to offend anyone. The toymakers had released nearly 1,000 of the figures before shutting everything down.

That's why I fuck with Soike Lee. These idiot actors actually made a fictual movie around the horrific act of slavery. Jews don't make fake movies about the holocost. They let Tarantino make a mockery of what slaves went thru. Them type of movies should always be factual, not some action movie BS.

Im sick of al sharpton "trivializing" white people. I wish his fat ass would shut the fuck up and quit crying about everything all the time. He's not. Helping protect anybody's rights; intact he is doing the exact opposite by accusing everyone of being racist constantly. When intact he is the only racist one I see. This is 2013; fuck off sharpton
