Is “Gone with the Wind” the canary in the Cancel Culture coal mine?

The 1939 screen classic got yanked from the HBO Max platform earlier this year after a black screenwriter suggested its portrayal of the Civil War South doesn’t sufficiently capture slavery’s horrors.

Eventually you will have to complete some sort of questionnaire to prove you are cognizant of your white privilege before you will be allowed to watch Gone With the Wind.

How about Birth of a Nation? Any warning labels? I saw all of the Jazz Singer, and it was no big deal. So he sang black face. That was the convention long before Al Jolson was born.

The proper way to enjoy the movie is to stand when they play Dixie, and to applaud when she shoots the yankee rapist.

I understand that when GWTW first came out, parents were keeping their kids home from it because it included the word "d!mn".

Nowadays, they will probably censor a movie that doesn't contain foul language.

I shelled out $5 at the local Fry’s Supermarket for the DVD last year. Done.

Watch the movie Mandingo. Its a great movie. I’m sure BLM members would love it. If you liked Gone with the wind, you’ll love Mandingo.

Bet there were plenty of attorneys involved. It’s not like these films don’t have “rights” attached.

Few read warning labels ever see what happens when there is a wet paint sign on something.

The move came as woke culture

This is the most disgusting concept of 2020. It's past time to refer to "woke" people as they really are: Book Burners.

Where were book burners prominent before Fahrenheit 451?

There are so many great lines and stories in stories in Gone With The Wind. It is crazy that giants of days gone by are being erased by modern creatures who could not reach the bottoms of their shoes standing on the tip of Mt. Everest.

How about a California Prop 65 warning too?

"WARNING: This product contains a ideas known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, other reproductive harm, directed outrage, undirected outrage, random triggering, Trump Derangement Syndrome and and the inability to give a damn." .
