The latest venue the Liberal Progressive Pukes have dirtied with their shit-stained fingers. It's just beginning.
It’s been more than two weeks since the events in Charlottesville, and the left is still going full bore in their demolition of American history. The most recent casualty of the culture war is the cinematic classic,
Gone with the Wind. A theater in Memphis Tennessee which has been screening the film for 34 years dropped it for reasons of ‘racial insensitivity.’
Based on the canonical novel by Margret Mitchell, the film was first screened in 1939 and has been met with critical and popular acclaim ever since. The story takes place on a southern plantation and carries its protagonist, Scarlett O’Hara, through the American Civil War. It has been hailed for decades as one of the grandest love stories ever to grace the silver screen. The film featured historically resonant fictional characters including black slaves who were far more fleshed out than any other such characters previously, making the novel and the film milestones in American racial relations.
Interestingly, the most prominent black actor in the film, Hattie McDaniel, went on to become the first black person to receive an Oscar. By erasing this iconic film from history, those responsible would deprive us of the seminal performance of at least one person of color who paved the way for many more.
