HBO Max Temporarily Removes ‘Gone With the Wind’ From Library
An HBO Max spokesperson says “Gone With the Wind” will eventually return to the platform with a discussion about its historical context and a denouncement of its racist depictions.
On Tuesday, HBO Max removed the 1939 film from its library in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd.
[...] Upon its release, “Gone With the Wind” broke theater attendance records and was the highest-grossing film of all time to that point. It still holds the record when adjusted for inflation. However, despite being considered one of the greatest films of all time, some film commentators have since criticized its depiction of slavery and Black people.

Are you making the argument that the folks at HBO should be *required* to stream specific media?
How very authoritarian of you. I applaud your dedication!

Typical low energy republican response, maybe you should ask Trump for some of his best words to help you with your critical thinking training.

Bohemians don't censor and bohemians are definitely in the target of the regressive left.
