Including smashing the Soviet Union's Red Army team.

In the 1933 film Hello, Everbody! Smith sings “Pickaninny Heaven,” a song that directs “colored children” living in an orphanage to fantasize about a place with “great big watermelons.”

Of course, the end result of this ban and the related publicity will be a bunch of people trying to rent Hello Everybody to hear Pickaninny Heaven.

It’ll work if they use the same scripts but I doubt it. It’ll be PC/liberal.

Heck, I’m surprised Friends episodes haven’t been scrubbed from the internet, due to content that would be considered “homophobic” today.

Lots of references to gays that slyly suggest homosexuality is weird & shameful, not something to be proud of.

The Chandler Bing character is hinted to be a closeted gay, can’t deal with women because his dad stars in a a drag queen revue (as Helena Handbasket) played by Kathleen Turner.
The stable, responsible father who — Ross Geller character gets divorced by his pregnant wife who decides to go lesbian.

Can we cover statues of Obama because he once said that Marriage was between a man and a woman, which clearly means he is homophobic, or was at some point.

Never mind that the term “colored children” was not offensive in 1931.

It’s hard to believe anybody who did anything in the 30s didn’t do something racist or homophobic.

The liberals want to do a Khmer Rouge, and go to “Year Zero”, and forget everything that ever happened before.

It’s unclear what prompted both the Flyers and the Yankees to act now ..

Because you gotta get those virtue signaling points while you can, before the 'outrage' du jour changes, of course.

In the evening by the moonlight
You could hear those darkies singin’
In the evening by the moonlight
You could hear those banjoes ringin’

How the old folks would enjoy it
They would sit all night and listen
As we sang in the evening by the moonlight.

I think hockey should immediately bring in black players even if they can’t skate, find a way to modify the game to allow them to play. Diversity has taken a back seat in the NHL, that has to change now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a quote from "racist" Kate Smith on VJ Day: August 15, 1945:
Millions must be fed and clothed. Other millions must be taught an entirely new way of life: a philosophy which does not include aggression and cruelty and the absolute worship of a Hitler or a Hirohito. They must be taught that there is no super-race, that all men are equal and have an equal right to enjoy the fruits of this earth and the tranquility and decency to which the truly civilized subscribe.
She sure sounds like a KKK member, doesn't she? Wow.
