Vivien Leigh has her corset tightened by Hattie McDaniel in a publicity still issued for the movie 'Gone with the Wind', 1939. The drama starred Leigh as 'Scarlett O'Hara', and McDaniel as 'Mammy'.New streaming service HBO Max has removed the epic 1939 movie "Gone With the Wind" from its schedule, saying it showed "ethnic and racial prejudices."
The removal comes amid anti-racism protests after the death of George Floyd in police custody last month, and after screenwriter and director John Ridley urged HBO Max parent company WarnerMedia to temporarily take it down"Gone With the Wind" is set in the southern state of Georgia during the American Civil War, and has been previously criticized for its depiction of slavery.
Hypocrisy 😛😷
Ok.
Hate that movie
History classes should all be dismissed from now on!
The Left really want to make this country softer than mash potatoes. Absolutely pathetic. 😡 Censorship
I’m glad I was never allowed to watch it🤞🏾
This is silly.
Because rhey were accepted then, and if we don’t teach History we can’t build upon the progress we have made
Omg, and why your at it please feel free to burn any books you don’t agree with and lynch those who disagree with you.....
Big mistake...
Woke idiots.
Apparently, nowadays learning history is bad if we accurately depict it because that would undoubtedly involve depicting racism.
Stupid
This is infuriating.
Really.. so now the progressives wants to remove history They are bunch of idiots who have life to damn good.. they should leave the US.. they hate it so much!!
AllLivesMatter
Eso es ridiculo. Esa era otra época. Refleja la historia para no repetirla . 🧐
I'm a Republican who planned on voting for Biden but these Democrats bowing down to kiss the black ass is making me reconsider my decision.
what is definition of censorship? Now getting rid of show 'COPS'--30 YEARS! Shows all the good things cops do EVERYDAY to protect us.
And Nixon temporarily took us off the gold standard.
Hbo is trash anyway
“The following movie you’re about to see depicts racism and white supremacy patterned of behavior and unacceptable values during a less than favorable time in US history which maybe offensive to many if not most viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.”
When enough is enough!?
When does the movie ‘White Chicks’ get removed for racial prejudices?
The STUPEDEST thing I’ve ever heard
ACrawfordWYFF4 Why not just outlaw movies all together and get a book
Interesting that they have Black corporate interviewees speak about Race issues and white corporate types talk about the economy and the stock market. I guess bLacks are serving their purpose right CNBC.
Next Rights go away
Bullshit
hbomax stop censorship, this is a country with freedom
Time to start burning the history books too?
Instead of removing Gone With the Wind why not show filmmaker Oscar Micheaux movies?
What? This has to stop!
In Pinocchio there is a clock that Geopetto made that shows the mom spanking the child. They show the bad boys smoking and drinking. Today, this would be unacceptable for small children.
I understand the intent, but if people get their social education from an 80 year old movie, we're all in deep trouble. Why not put a subtitle on the screen when an offensive scene comes on that says current movie-making standards and social norms do not support this depiction?
It's a movie based on our history. By removing the movie, you don't change history. It is one of the greatest movies ever made. There are old Disney classics that probably couldn't be made today because of content.
We can’t pretend it didn’t happen. It’s a shame a few can deprive the rest of us of movies, books, etc
What the heck ?!
So, do we erase history When do the Thought Police get defunded?
Lol. Idiots.
It’s HBO, anybody surprised? You’re paying to watch that...never ever in our house.
I do not agree with this decision, however, I am of the opinion that this movie is overrated.
This HAS to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. So, no more movies about Anne Frank, no more movies about any kind of hate or prejudices ever. LOL Good luck with that! I’m seriously canceling my HBO GO now. I can’t believe they are jumping on this ship.
So does history, let's erase that too. 🙄
Omg lol
...and Disney?
How absurd is this getting! It shows the way of life in the south just before and after the civil war. When the Academy Awards did not want to have Hattie McDaniels attend, Clark Gable said he would not attend unless, Ms. McDaniels was allowed.
What about Birth Of A Nation... Oy vey I could barely believe the content in that one. Made by Liberal Hollywood no less
Orwell here we come.
Gimme a break.
Temporarily is the operative word
Judging previous generations by current standards is beyond moronic. You can’t rewrite history.
Too bad racial prejudice hasn't gone with the wind.
This is crazy !! worried about offending a certain RACE they are made to watch program and what about programs that offend Other RACES
Well just don’t show Roots. It’ll literally start a war.
Say good bye to almost every Mel Brooks film, especially Blazing Saddles. I guess All In The Family will never make it back to TV either. There has to be balance.
Wasn't it the first Oscar won by a black woman?
Lets just burn all history books while we are at it.
That about a stupid as it gets.
You can’t make history disappear.
Temporarily? WTF does that mean HBO? Hypocrisy? Take if off your network completely 😡😡 Azzholes !!
Ridiculous
Ridiculous.
That movie is a classic. Planet of the apes in control
Mamy couldn’t eat with the rest of the Oscar winner, because of segregation. This is your history.
But it showed the dark skin as kind and loving.
I don't know nothin' bout birthin no babies..
Running from our history won't fix racial prejudice or any other kind. How about we learn from it & leave them as examples of what we no longer consider acceptable. But, that would be too easy & it would take away someone's rights to constantly angry, demanding & confrontational
denying history doesn't change the truth, History is the truth.
Bye HBO REMEMBERYOUNEEDUSNOTTHEOTHERWAYAROUND
HBO You should be ashamed of yourselves. You cannot rewrite American history. History is fact, good or bad. We learn from its impact on our country. Often we’re proud. Sometimes embarrassed. But don’t you dare deny our kids a true history of great USA. CNN FoxNews
Should we not show it more then to highlight the issue just a thought
What does it accomplish? Now blacks are safer? If they believe it helps should they Then be liable for all violent movies they stream for causing violence?
They need to look at Ireland in the 1600’s to see bad slavery. The brits wiped out 3/4’s of the white Irish population
Really? Ok
Lmfao
hbomax white liberals trying to eliminate racism by erasing the first African-American woman to win the Oscar. Yeah that makes sense 🙄🤔🤦
' Temporarily '
HBO is prejudice
This is so stupid.
A movie about the civil war era shows racial bias? Really? Shocking!
That’s not new...
yanezthegreat bookburning
'Shows racial prejudices'? Smh. It's from the 1930's. What do they expect? Let's erase and whitewash history. Ban all the classic award winning movies like Mississippi Burning. ATT get out of the movie and art business. You're clueless.
Fine I will watch Blazing Saddles. BLM wins again!
Booooo
How many more ...
HBO 🖕 Good reason not to pay for it. You can't learn by hiding.
Defund HBO & hbomax
Gonna torrent it right now to see what was all the fuzz about
Such garbage!! Didn’t she also win an academy award?!
'if we placate them....maybe they will not threaten us and take away our boats and mansions...that's it... let's pander and kneel and stuff' == Hollywood hypocrisy
Taking a page out of history book doesnt change the history or doesnt alter the truth. What happened, how it happend must be told and future generations must be educated so that it doesnt happen again.
Dahh. It’s a 1930s movie. Regrettably is part of the history that we wants to change.
Well, it exposes the reality of being Black in America, so removing it just denies racial prejudice has happened and still happens today. Education is the key not censorship.
Are you going to bury your head in the sand and pretend slavery never happened? How stupid to ignore the past, it is a lesson learned, should we forget?
Ban all movies. Ban actors. Ban Hollywood.
This is a joke right?
this is much more acceptable
I better lock down and hide my copies of Blazing Saddles and Fiddler on the Roof.
OMG. This is politically correct run amok. The socialist thought police must be stopped.
This definitely IS newsworthy, thank you!
