not all critics like gone with the wind. it is not snobby enough.

those same critics hate star wars.

In elementary school we used to sing Jump Down Turn Around Pick A Bale of Cotton. I’m pretty sure that is illegal now.

By the way, I worked at a nursing home and a lot of the white women residents talked of picking cotton.

OMG...what will be next?? Ban anything about the civil war?? I guess GETTYBURG will be sold to WALMART, and Lincoln’s Gettyburg Address will be banned.
