Good grief. Shall we ban Mickey Mouse as it might offend some PC Snowflake? Perhaps we should ban Schindler's List as it makes the NAZI's look bad.

Well, I don't know about Mickey, but Donald Duck was Nazi.



Come to think of it, remember when they put the pressure on Disney to make Song of the South disappear?



Part 2

Don't know if GWTW was any more racially insensitive than any other fiction of it's time but the picture it portrayed of the genteel and sympathetic plantation aristocracy was a sheer farce. I'd feel about as sorry for Scarlett O'Hara, her sisters, Ashley Wilkes, or any of the rest of that lot as I'd feel sorry for the family of the kid in The Boy With The Striped Pajamas, as in not at all because the ones committing evil deserve no sympathy at all.

I don't know about racial insensitivity, but my wife made me sit through that movie one time. Fifteen minutes in I was hoping Sherman would make his "March to the Sea" about four years early.

What are they going to do with all the old Amos and Andy material from the '50s or Jack Benny and Rochester from the '30s? I would also guess "Birth of a Nation" won't stand a chance of ever being shown....Let's change history by ignoring or censoring it!
