I’m talking, of course, about “Gone with the Wind,’’ which won a then-record eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1939, and still ranks as the all-time North American box-office champ with $1.6 billion worth of tickets sold here when adjusted for inflation.
True, “Gone with the Wind’’ isn’t as blatantly and virulently racist as D.W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation,’’ which was considered one of the greatest American movies as late as the early 1960s, but is now rarely screened, even in museums.

Even more blatantly racist is the tv series with "george Jefferson". But that doesn't matter because "george is the racist and he is black.
I guess the "Charlie Brown" movies will be declared racist next ...
MORE distractions to hide what Ob' is doing to us.... and the media is falling in line like good little children.
Why not it is also politically incorrect.
Lynyrd Skynyrd albums are being pulled off the shelves all because they have a confederate flag on them. This is nuts!
I will not remove my flag!!!
Delete Gone With The Wind from our minds I suppose.
I think I like this "pretend nothing ever happened" game. If nothing ever happened then nothing ever happened and maybe folks will finally shut up!
Define irony: This movie and her role in it made Hattie McDaniel the first black actress in history to win an Oscar in 1940

What the entire Left Wing Nuts are doing to us.
I'm thinking about joining a radical group to defeat this type of thinking. Next thing you know , we will have to get rid of our American flag.
Sounds like the muslims censoring "American Sniper." Have we forgot the First Amendment? And, have we had enough yet?
I don't know nuthin about birthin no babies but I did love that movie.
6:16 that's their objective...
