    Gone with the Wind is now gone from The Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, TN.  The theatre's board deemed the 1939 American classic racist and insensitive.  

    The theater’s decision to pull the film ends a 34-year tradition at the Orpheum. The removal apparently stemmed from a post on the Orpheum’s Facebook page from an early August screening, in which someone deemed the eight-time Academy Award-winning film “racist.” Another Memphis resident said of the news that “slowly but surely, we will rid this community of all tributes to white supremacy.”

    Gone With the Wind, which won eight Academy Awards, features life on a Southern plantation during the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.

    Civil War?  Wait, What?  What's the Civil war?

    If there had been a civil war, we'd have movies about it.

    And monuments, and statues.

    It must have never happened.

    You can thank the Liberals for contributing to our Nanny state.  

    I also think there's nothing wrong posting it in the Movie Forum.

    I heard this movie is like 6 hours long or something.  Never seen ir nor do I have any interest seeing it.

    Yeah, what could be more racist than showing how the South got their *ss kicked in, and everything they held dear, GONE People dying for a lost cause............white women of former privilege picking cotton, when once others used to do it for them..... yeah, how racist.

    Such a horrible movie that Hattie McDaniel WON AN ACADAMY AWARD

    Even a small mind is a terrible thing to waste.......................

    It's only an outrage if a non-black says it, but one Black calling another Black the "N word" is actually completely ok by definition b/c both parties are indeed ignorant for saying it and being fine with be called it.  

    The word N!gger, as defined by Merriam-Webster's, actually means "an ignorant person."  

    Those non-Blacks who use this word to insult Blacks are really the ignorant ones 9 times out of 10.  

    So by definition, the racist, inbred, uneducated Southern White-Power @ssholes are really the true N!ggers by definition.  

    How ironic that these people label Blacks by this word when in actuality they are the ignorant ones, but they are too ignorant to realize and/or know the real meaning of the term.  

    IRONY AT ITS FINEST!

    Those non-Blacks who use this word to insult Blacks are really the ignorant ones 9 times out of 10.  

    So by definition, the racist, inbred, uneducated Southern White-Power @ssholes are really the true N!ggers by definition.  

    How ironic that these people label Blacks by this word when in actuality they are the ignorant ones, but they are too ignorant to realize and/or know the real meaning of the term.  

    IRONY AT ITS FINEST!

    Homosexuals hate the Fa+%ot, could you imagine if they ran around calling each other faggies?

    You obviously missed the point I was making and it's apparent that I upset you.  

    No ill intent in my previous post.
