Gone with the Wind gone from HBO HBO has temporarily removed multiple Oscar-winning film Gone With the Wind from its streaming platform as global protests against racism continue. The movie, which remains the highest-grossing film of all-time after adjustments for inflation, was released in 1939 and is set against the backdrop of the US Civil War. "Gone With The Wind is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society," an HBO Max spokesperson said in a statement. "These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible." HBO said the movie would later return in its original form but "with a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions". Hattie McDaniel, who played a black slave in the cinematic epic, became the first African-American to receive an Academy Award, winning in the Best Supporting Actress category in 1940. Hers was one of eight Oscars awarded to the film. On Tuesday, the Paramount Network dropped the long-running reality series Cops after 33 seasons. The BBC also removed episodes of Little Britain, a comedy series that featured a character in blackface, from its streaming service.
Sad isn't it? All this virtue signalling will not make an iota of difference to disadvantaged black people anywhere. The best and indeed the only way to lift people out of poverty is by economic development and this is just what the US has been achieving. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Gabby just cancelled our Netflix, and told them in no uncertain terms why. These virtue-signalling platforms will only listen if you take the money away
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 20h “For the first time in history, Police Organizations & National Security Organizations were used to SPY on a Campaign, & there was no basis for it. The media largely drove that, & claims were made that could have affected the election of the President.” A.G. Bill Barr @BretBaier
@realDonaldTrump · 21h NASDAQ HITS ALL-TIME HIGH. Tremendous progress being made, way ahead of schedule. USA!
So racist. Donald J.

Until he disagrees with something... this is very interesting BUT... I'm not sure it's real https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/06/10/873705397/senate-unanimously-confirms-first-black-chief-of-a-u-s-military-service on my computer at least, the face is sometimes blurry and the mouth looks like it may have been manipulated?
If you have a fundamental difference of opinion with your boss, why wouldn't you expect to be sacked?
I've had differences of opinion with most of my bosses ..... never been sacked .... because I was always right A stupid decision is still a stupid decision no matter who says it .... it depends on if you are man enough to recognise it ..... Trump is just a fwit, not all of the time , just most of the time He's like a broken watch .... he gets the time right for 2 seconds each day
Fake news ...... it didn't come from Fox ..... I hate this world, it's too complicated I spent most of the day doing double NATing and route-maps
