Eventually you will have to complete some sort of questionnaire to prove you are cognizant of your white privilege before you will be allowed to watch Gone With the Wind.

How about Birth of a Nation? Any warning labels? I saw all of the Jazz Singer, and it was no big deal. So he sang black face. That was the convention long before Al Jolson was born.

The proper way to enjoy the movie is to stand when they play Dixie, and to applaud when she shoots the yankee rapist.

Another leftist warning? Frankly, my dear . . .

I understand that when GWTW first came out, parents were keeping their kids home from it because it included the word "d!mn".

Nowadays, they will probably censor a movie that doesn't contain foul language.

I shelled out $5 at the local Fry’s Supermarket for the DVD last year. Done.

Watch the movie Mandingo. Its a great movie. I’m sure BLM members would love it. If you liked Gone with the wind, you’ll love Mandingo.

Bet there were plenty of attorneys involved. It’s not like these films don’t have “rights” attached.

Few read warning labels ever see what happens when there is a wet paint sign on something.

The move came as woke culture

This is the most disgusting concept of 2020. It's past time to refer to "woke" people as they really are: Book Burners.

Where were book burners prominent before Fahrenheit 451?

There are so many great lines and stories in stories in Gone With The Wind. It is crazy that giants of days gone by are being erased by modern creatures who could not reach the bottoms of their shoes standing on the tip of Mt. Everest.

How about a California Prop 65 warning too?

"WARNING: This product contains a ideas known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, other reproductive harm, directed outrage, undirected outrage, random triggering, Trump Derangement Syndrome and and the inability to give a damn." .

I've never seen it.Of course I know it's considered a classic and I've heard it mentioned a million times and I've heard lines quoted a million times. Maybe I'll have to buy the bluray...if for no other reason than to pi$$ off the folks at Burn-Loot-Murder Headquarters.

Just stuck GWTW in my Netflix queue. Will be awhile. There are 17 movies in front of it.

“...a black screenwriter suggested its portrayal of the Civil War South doesn’t sufficiently capture slavery’s horrors.”

Does he/she know it’s fiction, not a documentary?

Not a very bright racist.

So much unbelievable snowflake garbage.

Most complaints about any movies and shows and books are non-sequiturs.

Such as, GWTW is not ABOUT slavery! Why the hell would there be anything in it showing the “horrors” of slavery?

BTW I’m shocked no one ever brings up a highly upsetting quote by Ashley in the Reconstruction era, at the mill.

He objects to using convicts for the mill, and says “I will not use the forced labor of others!” To which Scarlett replies “You weren’t so concerned about us using slaves.”

Ashley: “That was different. We didn’t treat them that way.”

But of course, these flunkies probably have never actually watched it, much less read the book. BTW the book has a segment where Yankee women upset a slave who drives a carriage with them in it. He cried to his mistress that they insulted him and laughed at his features and ignored him at the same time, like he was an animal.

Remember how the Left cried “Foul” when the PMRC suggested putting warning labels on records back in the 80s?
