It reduces visibility for his community by removing related names and symbols that had become part of American culture.

It’s almost like removing Aunt Jemima even though actual former slave Nancy Green embodied the character as brand ambassador proudly traveling nationwide for years. She’s been canceled.

Attempts by progressives to “move on” are attempts to erase history, culture and visibility. It’s about control.

The cancel culture is devoid of a sense of history. In their efforts to eliminate everything they are taking away historic events. I saw Gone with the Wind in a theater in the 1960’s with my future wife. It was re-released as a colorized version. After all these years the two actors that I remember from the movie are Clark Gable and Hattie McDaniel. Hattie to me made the movie great. She also was the first black to win an Oscar for her performance. Now future generations will not be able to see her great performance. Sad!
