What's wrong with Gone with the Wind?

Apparently its racist now., along with the show Dukes of Hazard. Hell the American Flag will be racist soon since it was flown during that time.

It's ridic, some people even started saying that "The Birth of a Nation" is racist. ****ing PC Police.

Oh, come on. If this isn't a joke, I really do not know what to say. It's more than a stretch to say that "communism" enslaved or killed people.

Be that as it may, the deaths of tens of millions at the hands of Communist regimes overshadow that and probably for a good reason.

I'm not one to justify irrational fear, but I can relate with the will to honor the dead.

Stop.

Never thought I would see the day gone with the wind was labeled racist.

This country is falling apart by design. We will see race wars and panic in the streets.

Communist regimes that used the aforementioned symbols enslaved and killed people. Nazism, per se, did not kill people either.

bardock's posts never go over my head. my reflexes are too fast.

GWTW has always been racist, just like Shirly Temple flicks/shows and it's depiction of black people as lazy oafs is racist.

The racist flag on the General Lee is racist.

Not sure about the actual show's story content. I used to watch it as a kid, but can't recall any overt or subtle racism.

Just like Inglorious Basterds wasn't Anti-Semetic just because it has Swastikas in it. With fiction it all depends on how something is used and treated. Smoking for instance, it's okay to have a character smoking, even if the character is a hero as long as that's just part of that character's personality (and especially if smoking is shown as a vice/addiction, not just something cool with no consequences), but it would be another thing entirely if that character started preaching the merits of kids smoking early in life.

Robtard is correct.

And an actor from the show said that there was never any racism in Hazzard town.

Buuuuuuuuuuut!

I think it is tough sell to justify the Confederate flag as the "indomitable spirit of the South."

I guess I could start wearing the Swastika as a symbol of the Third Reich's amazing innovations in technology? 😐

Has it come to book burning?

Come on, Shaky. You can like the movie for it's acting and scenery all you like, but to pretend like it doesn't try and romanticize slavery in the South is silly. It's a racist flick based off a racist book.

I'm not pretending anything. It is a book of it's time. If we forget the past we are bond to repeat it.

It's an incorrect portrayal of a time-period. Slavery was in fact a horrible thing for slaves and an ugly facet of America.

And I'm not for banding it outright, it has its place in cinematic history. Just understand its sensitive nature and don't screen it where it's not appropriate.

I don't get what the big was about that scene, I thought it was funny, and it seemed more poking fun at white people then anything. People are a bunch of cry babies. Everyone should man the fck up sometimes.
