Let’s just sweep away all knowledge of the past, and destroy an artistic masterpiece at the same time, just to to satisfy a few pussies.

I learned more about the OLD south from this movie than I ever did in school. And it is historically accurate.

Imagine if all “racially insensitive” items were removed to appease these hypersensitized useful idiots.
Any item, practice, or product invented, developed or provided by an individual or group considered “racially insensitve” would likely leave the hypersensitive useful idiot even dumber and poorer than presently standing. Eventually, these useful idiots are just begging to be stranded on a deserted island/4x4 cell where they can blame only themselves for their imagined hyper-grievances.

Naw. I’m pretty sure that Mao has had every bit of water baked out of him by now.

>>It will be replaced by “Birth of a Nation” followed by “Triumph of the Will”.....................<<

More like: “Do the Right Thing,” “Straight outta Compton” and “Tupac.”

Which will be required viewing by the new Liberal Morality Police.

Well, after all traces of slavery and the civil war have been erased we can truthfully say that there’s no evidence that either one ever took place in the USA.

Mammy is perhaps the single strongest character in the epic, when one considers that the other truly virtuous character, Melody Wilkes, lacks the physical strength to carry on in the nightmare of the times.

"Racially insensitive content?!" What is insensitive about showing the true strength of the "loyal and faithful servant," long revered in Western Theology!

Hear again the witness of the great Negro educator, Booker T. Washington, who lived through the same times:

Booker T. Washington Address.

True but in real life Olivia (Melanie btw) is still alive which is amazing. She turned 100 last year.
