    Amazing they had no issues with it just a week or two ago.

    Happy I canceled that service two days after it started.

    Hattie McDaniel was the first African American to win an Academy award for her role in it. Let's take her Oscar away too while we're at it.

    At first I was all for pulling it as I thought that's bullshit that there would be any slave being grateful and having undying loyalty for their masters until I noticed it's true with Candance Owens...

    Someone will want Mark Twain books burned next.

    At least when an agenda gets pushed too far a natural pushback occurs that will hopefully see sense prevail again.

    All content from black comedians cracking jokes about other races over the years need pulled asap.

    Also all of those Taco Tuesday vids from LeBron James mocking Mexican accents

    We can go on & on

    Agree this is stupid shit. It's historical record. It is what it is. It's worse to ignore it and pretend like it never existed.

    May as well pull all old films before the 50's as they all depict some kind of racism for the times!!!!

    Better yet erase all history, monuments, history books, etc... Next generation of blacks won't know what Slavery is then. Lol

    Peace and order restored then in America. Better pull all the current racist element films also.. I can think of MANY!

    Going down a slippery path here trying to erase history for good or bad.. Sounds alot like ISIS destroying all ancient historic sites in the middle east with bombs just because it doesn't line up with their religious beliefs ..

    Stupid times we live in right now!!! STUPID!!! ..

    If you are a smart liberal Black person you should even be outraged with this!! YOU DON'T ERASE HISTORY and MAKE IT GO AWAY.. You learn from it.. Know your history..

    Big deal, TCM played GWTW a few weeks ago. Funny thing, GWTW had a white actress, Mary Anderson, who had a small role in GWTW and later played a central character as a black maid in The Underground Story (also on TCM's Noir Alley last week). They wanted a white actress so it would do well in the South. Spoiler Alert: and yeah the black maid was framed for murder by a white rich guy. Btw Southern channels TCM and TNT will play GWTW again so who cares.

    It's media and by extension press. The media is so quick to espouse itself as a constitutionally protected asset yet once it's bias is exposed it's so quick to cry and beg for equality.

    Yes, the company can do as it wishes....I don't pay for cable I have a stick, so doesn't matter to me. But I feel for those who look to HBO or other content providers or distributors for theatrical and historical guidance...because here is historical censorship.

    It's unamerican and pandering.

    But c'mon wik let's be real here.

    If everything even remotely close to being questionable or offensive to one side is being changed, then it's only fair to do the same on the other right?

    For example, that LeBron Taco Tuesday crap I mentioned above.

    My 2 brother-in-law's are Mexican and that pisses them off big time the way he pokes fun at them.
