Frankly my dear, this is bullshit.
This whole “everything Southern, confederate, or indicative of American history must be erased immediately” crap is getting completely out of hand. First it was Confederate monuments, and while I firmly believe they should stay up, I will acknowledge that there can be two sides to this argument.
THEN it became statues of GEORGE WASHINGTON, Dolly Parton’s Dixie stampede restaurant, and GONE WITH THE FREAKING WIND.
This has gone beyond “too far.” This is full-blown liberal HYSTERIA and it will not stop. There is absolutely no end to this. THEY WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED. (Not until all white people give up their history, personal property, and probably just stop existing. That mayyyyy satisfy them, but probably not.)
According to this:
Gone With The Wind’ has been pulled from a Memphis theater after patrons complained the 1939 Civil War classic is racially insensitive.
The Orpheum Theatre Group made the decision after patrons took issue with the screening of the movie starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara on August 11.
‘As an organization whose stated mission is to ‘entertain, educate and enlighten the communities it serves’, the Orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to a large segment of its local population,’ the theater’s operators said in a statement according to News Ch. 3.
Interestingly enough, Gone With The Wind is actually plays a VERY important role in black history….
Hattie McDaniel, who portrayed a slave called Mammie, became the first African-American woman to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role.
Nevermind that. Facts don’t matter anymore.
Twitter users have mixed reactions:
Gone With the Wind is pulled because it’s insensitive? Good. Finally.

Gone With The Wind is many things: racist, sexist, nostalgic for a south that didn’t exist. But it is movie history, and it should be seen.
