It's easy for us to discuss what HBO should do because we don't have any stakes in it, but they don't know how people will react when they're switching channels between protests against racism and a 4 hour movie about the age of racism. Sure, some people can watch Birth of Nation right now but a lot of people would flip because there's crisis going on.
Or if US was in the war with France, then you wouldn't see any French movies on TV because people would be angry at French people, but once when the war ends there wouldn't be any problems. That's why TV stations rather avoid putting movies about racism right now.
Or like, when the war with Germany was going on, people changed the name of 'German Measles' into 'Freedom Measles' because people couldn't even bare saying the word 'German'.
Or do you remember what was in TV after 9/11? On most channels not much of anything but news.
So it's not exactly business as usual.
