I don't give an obama about the mud pack, but would have been just as happy in life not seeing the TP wedding gown.

Hulu has removed a 1988 episode of "The Golden Girls" in which actresses Betty White and Rue McClanahan wear black mud on their faces, according to several reports on Monday, with the decision prompting backlash on social media.
In the episode in question, titled "Mixed Blessing," the son of Bea Arthur's Dorothy plans to marry an older Black woman played by Rosalind Cash.
"This is mud on our faces," White says in the Season 3 episode when Cash's family arrives. "We’re not really black."
The decision by the streaming company follows similar moves following George Floyd’s death during an arrest in Minneapolis last month that sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

And also "blood on their hands!". That episode makes the cast of Golden Girls partly responsible for George Floyd's death! (Is a sarc tag even necessary?)
It’s mental illness, a form of paranoid schizophrenia where anything is associated with their fixation.

The only thing the leftist companies might understand is a great lost of money. Dump Hulu, just like Netflix.
Bea Arthur always creeped me out, but The Golden Girls was genuinely funny.
Not allowed!!
Racism is starting to look like OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
Few men had as deep a voice as Bea Arthur.
I believe that was Reese Withwhatever. The only reason I know it’s a favorite chick movie for my wife.
1. Wasn’t the Betty White character a ditz? And this scene just showing her ditziness? Was she a blond before she was a gray?
2. If this scene, as a display of ditziness, was a problem, aren’t all mud masks a problem? Maybe they shouldn’t be sold in stores anymore.
I almost feel like organizing a protest at my local Wal-Mart over the mud masks sold there just to have some fun and entertain myself and like-minded snarky people who cannot do the things (bowling, shooting pool at a bar) that they used to do for fun.
This has become insanity absolute insanity a mud mask REALLY???
Well, that is Raquel Welsh.
——who didn’t drive a truck during WWII.
Pretty Woman Julia Roberts also wore a face mask in the movie!!
My 13yo grandson enjoys the show.
Ever see her as Sue Ann Nivens? Loved some of her ALMOST-delivered humor.
When the roast burned: “Oh SHH-URELY someone could have set the timer!”
Also, her character was the only good reason to watch Lake Placid.
Treasure your DVD collection folks...
Bea Arthur was a Marine.....................
I, for reasons still unknown to me, watched that episode after the controversy erupted.
So nobody else has to, Dorothy’s son is engaged to a much older black woman. Dorothy protests the marriage because her son is so young. The golden girls then host the family of the black woman meets Dorothy and they protest because the son is white. The engaged couple storms off in outrage. The mud mask scenes are barely even bit jokes other than the reveal, Blanche makes an inappropriate sex joke or two, and the black family members storm off after all the women get offended at the negative things said about their respective child.
Later in the evening the mothers get together after the black family members show up at the golden girls’ apartment late at night and without really questioning the knock on the door at that hour let them in. The older women stay up late at night drinking coffee and eating cheesecake for some reason to show that they’re all good people at cross purposes, and jokes are made about how black men are well endowed and Blanche is a whore.
Then the scene shifts to an all night wedding chapel which is somehow a thing in this universe, and there is a standoff. The black woman reveals she is pregnant, and the mothers decide to relent and bless the marriage because they both want to hold a grandbaby... Or that was what I figured was going to happen because by this time I started coming to my senses about how much of my life I was wasting by watching this non-controversy and I turned it off.
Man, these people need psychological help to release them from the cult...
