What if you guys ARE the bad guys

forum.axishistory.com might interest you.

Anyway, I'm petitioning to have all the Star Wars franchise banned because it inspires rebellion against the authorities!

"I had friends on that Death Star!"

Ha ha ha...... Once you Go Darth you never go back.

I'm 100% behind the current movement but even I think this is overdoing it and I don't even like the movie all that much.

Don't stop there.  Get rid of Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, and Marley and Me while you're at it.  I will personally burn the Big Chill.

I think I'll watch The Birth of a Nation.

Then I'll watch The Birth of a Nation.

Wonder if 100 years will give perspective.

I'm not saying it's wrong to watch these kind of movies but imagine if you were the owner of TV station and you decide to air "Birth of a Nation" while people are rioting outside your office against racism - would you not be a bit concerned for your safety?

Both would be cases of hiding from reality. It's a fact that "Birth of a Nation" exists. To deny that is to sanitize history. We studied this film when I was at Purdue.

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.

No sir!    

The Big Chill is one of my favorite movies...definitely one of my favorite soundtracks.

Guys, there's a cultural cleansing happening at the moment.
(watch the video, it only goes for a couple of minutes). Tell me what you think.

Should this have been done long ago or are we over reacting?
Does over reacting mean: let's just hope all this BLM stuff blows over so the world can just go back to same same.

I say fuck it, remove everything. Why should the next gen be exposed to all the movies and tv shows which have subliminal or inadvertent racism, stereotyping  and other moments based on racial profiling.

But is it big brother doing the censoring for us? Fuck him too! lol.
Where do we go from here It's a brave new world we're entering.

Let's just call it Covid-1984

No there freaking is a cultural cleansing .There just going to put freaking disclaimer in the movie .No is it censoring there going to put it back up . Jesus people are so freaking paranoid now a days .

The company said that when Gone With the Wind returns to the recently launched streaming service, it will include "historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions, but will be presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed."
