In addition to HBO Max's cancellation of "Gone With The Wind," the outrage mob has managed to get shows worldwide cancelled because... racism...

Netflix and the BBC pulled reruns of sketch comedy show “Little Britain” over its repeated use of blackface.

Paramount Network canceled the long-running police reality show "Cops".

Additionally, four cast members from Bravo's reality show, “The Vanderpump Rules,” have been fired, CNN reported.

Hartley Sawyer, who played the Elongated Man on CW's superhero show “The Flash,” was fired for tweets the actor later acknowledged were “hurtful and unacceptable,” according to the BBC.

HBO has caved to the demands of the mob and removed ‘Gone With the Wind’ from its platform, in the process erasing the first black female Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel.

Another massive victory for the “anti-racists”.

“HBO Max said the 1939 film was “a product of its time” and depicted “ethnic and racial prejudices” that “were wrong then and are wrong today,” reports BBC News.

The controversy centers around a depiction of slave characters who are content to stay with their owners after slavery is abolished (something that did happen and is not historically inaccurate).

The film’s removal takes on an added layer of ludicrousness when you consider that in deleting the movie, HBO has also erased the first black female Oscar winner from history.

These people are certifiably nuts. The first Black woman to win an Oscar was Hattie McDaniel for Gone With The Wind. Now her work is removed from view in the name of being anti racist? https://t.co/HjQTQT1eJK — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) June 10, 2020

“These people are certifiably nuts. The first Black woman to win an Oscar was Hattie McDaniel for Gone With The Wind. Now her work is removed from view in the name of being anti racist?” tweeted Robby Starbuck.

HBO Max said it was “irresponsible” to broadcast Gone With the Wind without “an explanation and a denouncement” of its “racist depictions” and that the film would likely return to the platform at a later date with a “discussion of its historical context”.

Audible has yet to comment on whether it will commence digital book burnings by removing ‘controversial’ titles, but don’t be surprised to see titles start disappearing soon.

Sanford and Son was hilarious. The Jeffersons, not so much.

IMHO.

My basketball teammates in college used the N word religiously. Both on each other and on the white boys. We didn’t think anything of it. It was more a term of affection than anything else. It’s from the word for “black” in Spanish and evolved into the crude form we find today. Sticks and stones can break my bones but names can not hurt me. (Never mind what 9mm rounds fired by blacks can do to black lives)

The thought police are scrutinizing language like never before. If you’re a minority, a woman, LGBT, illegal, etc. you best not use hateful language. Heterosexual white Christian men are the only real monsters.

I worked in an office with many black and hispanic women for many many years (northeast US).

I learned very quickly that speaking to them (or within earshot of them) at all was nothing but trouble.

They could “mishear” what I said and turn it into drama.

Whites in the office who did not learn that lesson did not last long.

What saved me were smoke breaks outside (where real business could get done) and telework.

Why is Whoopi still on The View?

Hey, I demand they stop running the Godfather as it shows Italians in a bad light

Sad thing is there is that one scene where the Corleones do decide to get into drugs and they say "No selling to Children but it's OK to sell to....because they are animals anyhow"

So yeah, expect it to be banned

Vivian Leigh was reportedly an insatiable nymphomaniac. I always liked that about her.

Since I learned that it’s the first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear about Gone with the Wind.

There’s lots of idiots in high places that have no talent. Reference the US government. All the crap going on is going to create racists, not eliminate them. If you’re going to be called one, might as well be one.

Cultural cleansing going on.
