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.

According to what you just said, you need to be punished and reeducated.
It's a systemic problem. What's that? YOU'RE not part of the problem? Sounds like sonebody is in denial. It's not about an individual's actions; it's about an ENTIRE race being guilty. Just by looking at your skin, I will tell you if you are guilty of racism or not.

I understand the twist you're trying to play, but since it fails basic reading comprehension it just makes you look stupid for trying to shoehorn it in.
